Hey there, I was reading the other thread about lightweight flywheels and got to thinking.

I have a R32 GTST with RB20 + R33 turbo. I'm not super happy with the off boost, in-gear response. I do the vast majority of my driving in the "idle to 2500rpm" zone (zero boost mostly), i.e., changing gears at less than 2500rpm. In this area the car feels quite slow and doughy (obviously) which I guess is also not helped by the R33 turbo.

Would it be worthwhile buying a lightweight flywheel? I already have a PBR/Clutch Industries H/D clutch under my bed ready to go in.

Who sells them?????

Thanks for your help.

might as well go for carbon fibre drive shaft while your at it.

I'm sure it will help but is it worth the money?

rb20's like to drive around at about 3000rpm.. driving in traffic at 60km in third gear plonks you right on about 3000rpm.

need to over take, squeeze right toes and it will get right in it's chunky zone.. if the rb20 has one that is.

My car sounds like all hell is breaking loose at 3000rpm and above so its not an option really (and why I change early). I don't want to quieten down the exhaust and lose exhaust flow either.

If I want to overtake then its just a gear change away anyways. But for normal everyday driving I wonder if its worth spending $$$ on one (I don't even know who sell them and how much it costs anyways)

I haven't had any personal experience with lightened flywheels but by all accounts on the many other treads on this subject it seems to have made a sizable difference to the cars acceleration with the draw backs of having to rev the motor more on take off and rev drop occuring much quicker between gear shifts.

But the general concensous was a great mod once you'd altered your driving style to suite!

Do a search remembering to change the "last 30 days setting" and you'll find several threads

Hope that helps :D

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
