I got a Act Prolite flywheel last fri.
I thought tonight sounds like a good time to put it in.
Man the Act is so lite vs. the stock one.
I could have gotten the whole job done but I need the alignment tool!!
I grab one tomorrow. I hope I can tell a difference with the 14 or so lbs, shed!

Nice! Any idea what the total weight of the ACT flywheel/clutch/pressure plate is? Throttle response will really change the feel of your car- although I can only imagine what that will feel like when your FI beast spools up! LOL

 

Damn, if your throttle response was any better, you would bend time/space as we know it. I guess the Apex-jet does look a bit like the Delorean in Back to the Future!

Ahhhh!!!! F***! Stop buying crap for your car. I will never catch up at this rate!

 

Who says it's a contest?


(should have bought the ATS Twin plate carbon clutch/flywheel assy...more streetable than the Tilton).

 

Dude, If you had 50K and 2 full months of free time you couldn't "catch up"
I would be eating top ramen 3 times a day if I even tried to keep up!

Dude! there already is nothing "street" about the "the Jet"

 

I have 5 weeks of vacation, my bonus, and tax refund coming up...that's about 1.25 months and 40k. But it's not for the car.

 

Ditto. more or less, and my money is going for bills! That's cool though, I'm lovin the Z. Brakes clutch coilovers and a couple small things and I will pretty much stop.

 

I gotta start the built motor fund LOL All I need is rods, pistons, main & head studs and a gasket rebuild kit and it will be shazam time

 

What boost will you be running after the build when "the gloves are off" I have seen read about so many people uping there ST boost to 9~10 lbs and blowing the motor. How have you lucked out so much with twins a what 11.5 lbs!!!!

Its done! need more RedLine trans drink before I spin it up.
Not a bad job, If I keep this up I going to get a lift in the garage.
David, I did not weigh thee set up, but man the stock clutch, fly, p-plate is heavy!!

 

Damn man! you had the tranny out, you could have taken some nice pix of flywheel mounted (with BOB in the pic) Well at least your all ed-ja-ma-kated and ready to whip through mine! My credit card company loves Kevin...

 

Does the ACT fly wheel have the cement mixer sound like the JWT or the Nismo?

 

yes. yes it does.

 

Not that I really car if my car sound "wicked mean" (theft from Shannon), but are they really that different sounding? engaging/disengaging or just spining in gerneral?

 

Iv installed several JWTs and personally never heard the "cement mixer" sound ----I luv em and the ACT should be great too !!!!!!!!!!

 

I think he means the "rattle" you get at idle when you push the clutch pedal in, and about 1500-2000rpm range. Mine does both of the aformentioned.

 

Iv noticed that to many are "looking" for noises. What I consider normal, others panic over.

Brake "squeeks", Clutch "rattles", Dash "vibes", Transmision "growls"-------Listen for problems,Yes, But dont over anylize things to the point u dont have fun driving ur car.

Iv seen to often here, where whats normal and can be cured by changing Shift Habits, Braking Habits, and just not sweating the small stuff has turned into a epidemic.
