Makes the tranny work faster.
Clutch and Flywheel in today!!

You lose rotational mass something.. Torque
Even if it were less, it could theoretically require the same amount of torque or more depending on where most of the mass of the flywheel is at. For the most part though it would require less torque from the engine to turn it. Since the motor can spin the flywheel more freely at a certain rpm then it would potentially allow it to transmit more power to the ground. I am unsure though if this lighter flywhell would do much to effect the balance of the motor. I'll have to look up exactly if they do anything relating to balancing the drives and the components with the flywheel on the motor after it has been assembled. More than likely I would guess that it would only be balanced with the internal components.
Would we see signs of better MPG with a lighter flywheel? or worse? i feel like the answer is gonna be worse.
yeah but the car slows down faster because something about torque though the transmission in the high gears.
( my old BMW would wind up so fast it would come apart
)Hmm.. Something about a really light flywheel doesn't sound like it's that great though, or else all honda motors would come stock with light flywheels.
...Isn't a flywheel that's lighter not as strong , meaning if you make those motors try pushing 500hp it can break easier.

AHH, thats one thing i don't want to do more of, "think".pon55 said:
