ACT Flywheel Installed, But Why Can I Feel It?

[maxperformance]

Just got ACT 2600 Clutch and Flywheel, I feel like an idiot, but dam i really cant tell a big difference with the new "lightened" flywheel. I was just wondering if ayone was in the same boat as me. Oh yea and the clutch is redicuous i recommend it to anyone interested in getting a new clutch. Get the 2600 over the 2100!

i have the 2600 and it rocks!!! rough engagement at low end but when im wasting v-8s its worth every penny i spent on it!!! your flywheel cuts down on the reciprocating mass of the motor i/e doesnt take as much hp to spin the motor. basically you should have a quicker rev and when youshift gears the engine rpms shouldnt drop as fast. v-tec motors with a lightened flywheel drop out of v-tec too fast in some cases.

I noticed it when I put my act flywheel in. It defenitely revs faster

Are you talking about you didnt notice it as in your car wasnt faster or it just didnt rev as fast. BTW ACT 2600 is sweet

Wouldn't the rpms drop faster because of less inertia keeping things moving?

 

[GEN1GST]

depends on how you look at it. less weight to slow down the rpms and in a matter of speaking your right less intertia to keep things going. but it really takes away parasitic drag from the motor essentially making more hp.

Yes, the rpms do drop much faster between shifts with a lightweight flywheel. I have the Fidanza flywheel and I do notice the difference in stock. In fact with no ECU mods it would stall sometimes if you were in the gas hard, jumped out of it and let it go all the way to idle. This is beacause the ecu is not able to compansate for the rpm's dropping so quickly.

 

[GstRacer]

what do you mean it would stall if your on the gas hard and with no ECU mods what kind of mods are you talking about? I know it will stall if you let the rpm fall too fast if your BOV is venting to the amos.

 

[snox135]

Once I my DSMlink was installed and tuned we did stop this from happening and no my BOV is not vented. The reason it will stall is the ECU is not programmed to compansate for the rpm's dropping so quickly. With a stock flywheel rpm's drop much slower and the motor will maintain idle speed easily. From my understanding the ECU has a cascading PID loop in the program to control idle and this loop was tuned to the stock flywheel. So when installing a lightweight flywheel it makes the PID loop over dampened. Which means it is compansating for the PV (in this case idle speed) to slowly.
