Lightweight flywheel

[superchargedmorph]

TRD are developing a lightweight flywheel for IS200, I am LED to beleive that this will improve acceleration in 1st 2nd gear but you will pay for this in the higher gears by reducingtop end performance slightly, can anyone confirm this?

a light weight flywheel will improve acceleration ,because ther will be less mass to spin up initially,however it will also make stop go driving a pain as the lighter flywheel will also slow down quicker aswell making juddering crap gearchanges

but for acceleration its a good addition

I think this product is already out. I remember asking about it whilst i was in Hong kong last year. But this ain't fact.. just some hazy memory thingy

It will make a big difference on hills as well. The car will lose speed very quickly when going up hills with a lightened flywheel. Well the Altezza did in Grand Turisimo 2 anyway!:smilegrin:

does anybody have any experience with a lighter filghtwheel on an IS200?

Because the IS200 is relatively low on torque anyway (195 Nm) I would not recommend installing a lighter flywheel. You won't have any grunt left.

If you have the TTE kompressor the lighter flywheel should be perfect because there you have enough of everything.

I may be mistaken but I don't think there's a lightweight flywheel for the 1G engine, only the 3S-GE RS200 version of the Altezza.
