Is a lightweight flywheel worth it Miata?
Give your Miata a sports car feel. It`ll make your Miata feel more like a sports car. There is a small but measurable improvement in acceleration in the lower gears thanks to decreased inertial losses, but it`s not a huge difference.
Does a lightweight flywheel increase horsepower?
Since flywheels are solid, unsprung components of a vehicle’s driveline, a lightweight flywheel will decrease parasitic loss at a constant rate, improving a vehicle’s horsepower and torque output (measured after the flywheel) throughout it’s entire rev range.
Are lightweight flywheels good?
With a lightweight flywheel, right away you will notice the engine revs more quickly. But for racing, where you’re nearly always operating at the top of the rpm range in upper gears, the lighter, the better. For momentum cars that don’t make a lot of horsepower, single-disc setups work fine with a lightweight flywheel.
Do you need a tune for a lightweight flywheel?
Nuke Well-Known Member. You don’t ‘tune’ out the lighten flywheel. The latest ecu roms should ‘kinda’ fix it.
Are Fidanza flywheels good?
Fidanza aluminum flywheels are made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum. The material is fantastic for strength, heat dissipation and of course reduction in weight.
Can a flywheel be too light?
if the flywheel is too light, it will spin too fast and make your RPMs jump too fast.. therefore, you will not be able to be in the powerband long enough… therefore you need a balance between too light and stock.
Is a 13kg flywheel good?
Now, the recommended flywheel weight for indoor bikes is about 18-20kgs, whereas for commercial bikes the weight can be around 20-22kg.
Is a 30 pound flywheel good?
As you’ve learned above, both heavy and light flywheels can provide a smooth, momentous riding experience that you’re looking for. If you’re going for a heavy flywheel, I recommend a weight of 30 LB+, 40 LB for that studio cycle feel.

What should I look for in a flywheel?
The best flywheel to choose will depend on your engine torque, vehicle weight, gearing, and intended purpose. Choosing the proper weight is crucial in enhancing your driving experience.
What does a heavy flywheel do?
The heavy flywheel helps RPM recovery, allows the engine not to lug during the gear transmission. The light flywheels decrease the inertia, so it gives a quick response to acceleration and deceleration. For this reason, light flywheels are used in the sports car.
