Hi guys I'm looking at getting a lighten flywheel for my s15 ADM could you guys recommend me some good choices and how much they are ?, would i be able to get them locally or do i have to order it from overseas?, should I also be looking at getting anything else to support the lighten flywheel ?. A mate of mine said that I should look at getting light weight pulleys and harmonic balancer as well. I just want to be able to rev faster as I'm currently still using the stock flywheel and it just way too slow and heavy for me. I'm currently running a exedy hd clutch. 
How light would you guys recommend ? I don't want to go too light and have to worry about stuff breaking ect.

Any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated. 
Cheers.

You could try the SAU traders to see if any of them sell them, or just google.

You dont need to change anything else when you get one.

Lightweight pulleys? A wank unless you're trying to get the last 10 10ths in a race situation

Lightweight harmonic balancer? Not sure if that's even a thing. The weight along with the stiffness of the rubber will be tuned to dampen the vibrations most effectively, so it if is a thing there may be the significant downside of not protecting your motor as well.

Slow and heavy? I fear you might expect something from the lightened flywheel it cannot deliver. Also, are you aware of, and willing to accept, the downside of a lighter flywheel? I went for a lightened (5.5kg) one when i got rid of the Giken twin plate monster. If I had a stock flywheel i would have just used that (10kgs FWIW).

Suggest you spend your money elsewhere, as it will probably be a better investment. If you really must have a lightened flywheel get it next time the clutch gets replaced.

he said he wants it to rev faster...

 

 

And you do realise that that does not explicitly mean "increase revs faster"?  With the most simple and obvious interpretation it just means "rotate faster" which means spin to higher rpm.  I chose that interpretation because of the apparent school holiday vibe.

I just got the car and the seller just put in brand new exedy clutch and master cyl as well. 
I had a lighten fly on my dc5r and it revved so much easier and freely I love it.....
But the s15 is just not as responsive.... its really slow trying to rev lol hence why i wanted to get a lighter fly for it.

now for a more serious reply...

your mate is an idiot.

leave it alone, no lightened pulleys, no fly wheels... buy a proper exhaust system, improved your cooling mods, get an aftermarket ecu OR even a Nistune (I can supply), get it tuned.. even with stock injectors, stock afm, stock coils and a new fuel pump with the fuel pressure relief valve removed and 1bar of boost you'll make about 190~210kW depending on motor health and dyno.

I'm sure you'll toast all your homo Honda mates.. even though it "doesn't rev quick".

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
