It it possible to have a flywheel that is too light on a turbo engine? I know the lighter the fly wheel the better the engine response but you can loose drivabilty lower in the rpm range. How will having an extremely light flywheel on a road car effect the way it drives?

mine weighs around 5kg with the grey diaphragm and then whatever the plate is on top, can't say i had any issues with it when it was my daily drive.

the lighter it is, the engine will spin up much quicker, in short a long duration cam such as a MG cam or phase 2, kent 266 etc ..... and lightend flywheel go hand in hand

i've got an "ultra light" flywheel, grey diaphram, bonded rally plate and 2.9 final drive. i drive mine on the road and i recon my mum would have no problems driving it to the shops (if she could get in over the cage).

i'd say you can probably tell its a light flywheel when pulling away as the revs can drop quite easily when lifting the clutch or it could just be all in my mind, anyway it realy doesnt make it harder to drive every day
