Yes! You can use it with a stock clutch, but since your tranny is already taken apart, why not move up to a more agressive clutch?Originally posted by ersatz0906
ok if you change your flywheel to lighten it. is it compatible with stock? or do need to upgrade something with it?

Ok folks...... lets try to clear everything up.
A flywheel and a clutch are two separate components. They are related because the clutch disc grips onto the flywheel and moves the car.
Most stock flywheels weigh about 18 - 20lbs, depending on the car (aka B-Series, H-Series, D-Series).
A lightened flywheel is the best bang for the buck. You use your stock flywheel, take it to a shop where they machine and balance it. However, it's not a good idea to go too light on a stock flywheel. I don't recommend going any lower than 14lbs. A ITR flywheel is 14 lbs!!
If you want to go lower, then I recommend going with an aftermarket flywheel. There are many designs, such as cromoly, aluminum, etc. etc. Each of them have their pros and cons.
You can use almost any flywheel with any clutch with the exception with specialy clutches such as the Tilton Clutch.

you cannot f**k up your engine by hitting your rev limiter.......PERIODOriginally posted by Zak8022
well, if you are building the D16, i would suggest going with a lightened flywheel. WiggerMan posted a good point....but since you will be building the D16, its all good.
some things to look for....the engine will rev fast...in BOTH directions. meaning you wont just be able to rev faster, but you will also loose revs quicker when not on the throttle. so you will have to adjust your shifting technique a little. also, as someone else said, you will have to adjust the way in which you start off in 1st gear. the other thing i would want to stress ALOT is that you be careful of how heavy your foot is. you can seriously f**k up your engine if you arent paying attention one day when/if you are revin at the stop light. throttle response will be enourmously improved!
hope this helps.

I've actually never had a problem running my shaved flywheel. I was running a 13lb shaved flywheel. The only problem I ever had was my clutch (4 Puck ACT) digging into the surface of the flywheel so much, that my clutch outlasted my flywheel.
