Good morning. On big Type4 engines that are going to be used on the street, it appears that keeping a stock flywheel is a plus for drivability but I’m also wondering if the bigger engines have enough torque that they can handle it lighter flywheel for a bit more zing of an experience.
The one that was on this 2.7 L motor I’m sorting out was shaved down to 12.3 pounds which seems a bit to light for street use. EDIT - did some researching it appears that too light of a flywheel will make the car a pain on the highway, so maybe just stick with stock weight? |

Quicker throttle response but higher RPMs needed before you dump the clutch. Si of one half a dozen of the other? Where does the zing come in, driving at higher revs? Not criticizing that, btw, just curious what the end goal is.
