maybe, but you should drive my car. The T25 turbo spools so fast and early it's amazing to drive -- I don't regret putting in the lightweight flywheel at all.

cali..... I have to agree with you.
My cuz put a Light weight flywheel in his WRX and he said it was the best mod he'd done as in bang for buck. Whether the rotational inertia puts more load on an engine.... I think the load from accelerating the vehicle would make the load from the flywheel insignificant. |

and in regards to whoguy i'm not sure if thats the mods i would choose if i was going for to imporve overall acceleration, assuming thats what his intentions were, but maybe im crazy? haha It may not seem that insignificant, but other turbo bmw guys have changed back from lightweight flywheel to stock and have seen actual imporvment in getting in boost sooner. The sooner you are in boost the better, but thats just my opinion. |

That flywheel also looks like it was made with the same crappy metal they make most chrome rims with

Fidanza makes a flywheel for us, that's what I have -- and I think Clutchmasters as well.

Clutch masters does not, I called them back when I was in the market and they said, "we do not make a flywheel for Xb's, That they where frauds". (IDK?????)

I had a lightened flywheel in my 3.5 altima While it felt amazing when accelerating in gear, felt better than the cai and headers together, when I went to the drag strip I was consistantly 1 tenth slower, even though the car felt much faster. I think while power shifting the mass of the lighter flywheel would not propel the car forward. The same way a lighter crank pulley makes the car feel much faster if you run at the track or have a G-tech you may be suprized with the results.

what is this 0-60 in 3 shifts all about? The top of 2nd is 60 if not 61, as I know Loren...? stated. Even if it wasn't...start in 1st...shift to second....shift to third=2 shifts.
Anyways....dallas, that doesnt really make any sense to me, hopefully someone can elighten us.

Who said Yaris was slow?
|
Top of 2nd gear is 60mph on a standard US spec Yaris Tranny...
If you have a shorter Final Drive or a different tranny then you need to shift to 3rd to reach the 60mph. That's what the signature is about.... |

yeah but 1st to second=1 shift second to third=2nd shift =TWO shifts lol
i guess they're considering putting it in gear before starting off a shift?? if its considered a shift then I concede.
