I'm rebuilding my engine. Should I consider an aluminum flywheel? Is it just weight? What are the issues?? It is a S/C'd 2V. I have a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch. Any issues there??

i have a fidanza aluminum flywheel, and the engine spools much faster and smoother. and it frees up a little robbed hpfrom the engine and with a 2v you want every drop of power you can squeeze out IMO

i run the centerforce dual frictionclutch as well so no prob there bro

Aaluminum flywheel creates less inertia at launch and will require a higher RPM but will accelerate throught the gears quicker. A steel flywheel stores more energry for the launch. If your engine and gearing combo requires more power or "inertia" to make the car launch w/ out out bogging the motor you would want a steel flywheel. So to put it simple if ur drag raing get a steel flywheel, roadracing get a aluminum flywheel. Hope this helps you out.

An aluminum flywheel can also helpl to reduce some of the shock on the drive train on hard launces.

Supercharged huh ?
The aluminum flywheel will help reduce the pain on the engine.Its more pro than con using an aluminum flywheel.Less weight, less friction,More hp to the rear.If you have no issues hooking up this would be a great mod on a new engine install.A heavy duty clutch would be a great adder during the process as well.

The only thing you are going to have to get used to is how the car is going to respond with a lighter aluminum flywheel.Higher RPMS if drag racing on launch will be needed but as long as you can hook up thats not much of an issue is it ? No...

Local driving you may have to take some time getting used to the way you accelerate with aluminum vs steel.But all in all its a worthy add on..
