I've done a search but I need some more help. I'm looking to lighten up the driveline but I don't want to live with a lot of excess noise. Which flywheel and/or clutch set up that does this?

Thanks

 

JWT Flywheel/clutch combo

 

The one and only

 

any lightweight flywheel is going to add some noise...

JWT flywheel / JWT Clutch
JWT Flywheel / NISMO clutch

those are the two best ways to go for the daily IMHO...

What type of noise should I expect from the recommended set-ups? Under what conditions is the noise noticeable?

Thanks

 

at idle if you are not pressing the clutch pedal in you hear some flywheel chatter (TOTALLY NORMAL) its there with the stock set up just very soft...

if in gear below 2000 RPM and accelerating you may hear chatter as well... solution, be in higher RPM in gear accelerating... the RPM in which the sound occurs depends on the set up... the heavier the flywheel / clutch combination the lower RPM the sound stops at...

 

You guys all satisfied with your setups? Noticeable performance gain?

Thanks

 

.

 

with the lighter flywheel you gain acceleration horsepower... not peak horse power...

with the lighter flywheels (lighter the experience is faster) you get faster engine response... so when down shifting, rev-matching is easier...

Here is a video clip of my Z with a very light weight clutch and flywheel setup (this set up is no longer avaialble but total weight clutch & Flywheel was 16lbs)

Sorry for the dumb question but what is it about the flywheel that makes the noise?

 

the fact that it's lighter

weight is an insulator

 

what noise does the extra weight insulate? from the engine? crank? something with the flywheel itself?

Thanks
