    That initial inertia as you change can often be greater than that given by the engine alone, which is why you can make the car lurch forwards on gear changes as the clutch engages. This is the stored energy. However, this is usually followed by a massive dip in torque as the car has to use even more energy to re-accelerate. A lighter flywheel does not need as much energy input to re-accelerate.

    No your input is valid and helpful, especially regarding the turbo angle. I was just pointing out that with a good driver (and good gearing) the only real downside to a light flywheel on a turbo can can be eliminated.

    I think the most important question at the moment is : Is the flywheel for sale or not??

    Donīt know if he want to sell it.

    But i think itīs better to open a thread about the flywheel.
    Light or not and start from it.

    EPIC! Isnt this a for sale thread?

    Anywho, gear changes up and down are immense! The rate mine picked up was mint, and when pressing the clutch the revs fell really well.

    It was a slight pig up hills, but that could mainly be due to the paddle clutch i was using as well.

    KEEP IT!
