- So it definitely has more torque low end, but on roll it doesn't same to be much a difference. Also, my shifting was slower with new set up since I'm still getting waiting for Ktuned CMC.
Mods: Spec Stage 3 Clutch, Spec Lightweight Flywheel, XLR8 Jpipe, and K&N Drop In Filter

After doing this comparison, kind of disappointed and wish I kept OEM flywheel. Lower rpms Lightweight Flywheel is better 100%, but top end OEM I think. Keep in mind my 4th gear comparison was 53° F cooler with OEM.
What do you mean 53 degrees cooler? The weather outside? Thanks lol
Yes the weather lol
Yes, I now take the bus because I found 4th gear had stronger top end with OEM flywheel lol
@Self Made Auto either way, pressure plate broke in a few k miles. Back to OEM setup, and like it way more for getting off the line.
That’s really good to know my car only has 12,000 miles on it so I might just keep my flywheel.
Nice video, I was looking for some VTEC noises LOL, it was not super obvious but still sounds good.
This is also with no intake🤙, vtec noises are way louder with the intake lol
nice video bro and shifting!
Rev match you should be good. She running great though bro I’m surprised not much of a difference can’t wait for the additional mods that are coming soon keep it up bro!
Yah I figured there'd be a bigger difference. It definitely has more torque low end and mid range now, but top end about the same.
I was going to ask about a clutch on this thing. I ordered the Spec 3+ clutch w/ the flywheel. I have a 6 puck in right now and I got a pedal commander and it really helps with the bucking because you can adjust the throttle👍
Mine let go after a cpl k miles the pressure plate broke, so I went back to OEM. I'll be trying XLR8 or Clutch Masters next time.
Definitely noticed an improvement 👏🏾 Are you thinking about doing the under drive pulleys as well? If you haven’t done so already
I haven't, possibly someday after all the bolt ons👍
RevsALot Nice! Well man keep up the good work and content 👍🏾 I know plenty of TL owners out there could use your videos for help on mods 💯
@@mysterigx_ I'm no expert, but I'm learning slowly👍
i have a 71 Chevelle and the difference i felt from a lighter flywheel was astronomical! I never looked back once I got used to it. We are talking a 4 speed muscle car here though I am not sure about smaller displacement, higher revving engines though and was curious.
The instant torque was absolutely amazing, but I found I had a hard time to shift smoothly without the car jerking into 2nd when just cruising. Also, way easier to launch with the oem setup I found.
@@RevsALot Gotcha it wasn't so bad for me though i just went from a insanely heavy steel one to a much lighter steel one. So it is still a steel flywheel and not aluminum. I think the stock one was just too damn heavy and this is letting the engine run much lighter.
Its fairly smooth if any A body GM guys run into this. Do it!
Oh back when Acura made truly great fun cars. I've got a 2019 Accord manual transmission, done a few mods and flywheel might be next
It was fun while it lasted, but getting off the line and shifting into gears slowly and smoothly was a pain in the a**..pressure plate broke on this setup after a few k miles, went back to OEM setup.
Did you gain any of the gear rollover noises in neutral after going to a single mass ?
I don't knownwhat you mean my noises? I don't have any noises, and went back to OEM cause this setup lasted a few k miles👎.
Yeah oem is best for a street car. Less having to focus on just getting the car out of stops and inclines plus less noise coming from the transmission
is it recommended to use OEM Flywheel with Aftermarket Clutch kit, i heard it will need a resurfaced and it will cause more problems after some time if not using aluminum flywheel "Which usually comes with the kit"...
I'm not sure tbh, I wasn't a fan of the lightweight fltwheel. The only benefit is how much more low end torque it gives you. I didn't notice any difference in higher rpms, and rpms dropped faster in between shifts which sucks.
When you install a new clutch kit, always resurface the flywheel if reusing it.
What is the top speed in your 4th gear?👀 I'm curious compared to my TL type s and Accord 6-6
120 MPH
@@RevsALot That’s funny, my 4th gear tops out at about 125mph in my 2007 Honda Accord 2.4 5 speed manual. I would have expected more but I suppose the 6 gears changes it up a tiny bit.
@@destruxandexploze2552 yes less gears equals longer gears, I can hit about 130-35mph now revving to 7600.
Can’t find the manual SH-awd would you recommend AT with paddle shifters or I keep looking
That depends, personally I don't enjoy driving autos. Unless it's a truck or SUV, but the manual TL is whole other lvl imo just cause of the gearing. If you do get the auto, get a 6AT '12-14.
RevsALot I’m a beginner to driving manual I wanted to get a manual car cuz of the acceptance of mods and more hands on driving experience also down shift but I can’t find the manuals only autos
@@axelquezada7668 I mean you can downshift with the paddles, but there's no better driving experience than owning a manual. It's worth a road trip for the manual.
RevsALot got it 💯 kinda gonna go for the manual even tho I’m a total beginner
@@axelquezada7668 practice makes perfect, no better car to learn than with a Honda/Acura
Hey thinking about the spec kit. You said it kicked the bucket? eBay has a $500 kit with luk clutch and 6 puck. Thinking either that or luk. Thoughts?
Are you talking about for 3rd gen or 4th gen? Tbh either way I'm not sure, some ppl had no problems with Spec and a few ppl have. I haven't looked into the LUK brand before.
@@RevsALot technically, neither. I’m on 8th gen accord platform
@@RevsALot so this is on a 8th gen accord but it’s the same kit. If you’re on oem right now, how much power is it holding?
@Security Connections I should be 300-310 once I'm tuned.
Yoo my dude what the details on where u got ur cluch where u order it from?
I'd get the clutch I wouldn't reccomend the lightweight flywheel. Heeltoeauto.com
@@RevsALot why dont u like the fly wheel? But without the flywheel it wont rev as fast ???
I just find it lost top end in 4th, also traffic on a hill can be a pain. I'll have to try my 0-60, and 1/4mile time to make a final decision.
Copy that ill be waiting on that video content
Good comparison. I didn't see a big difference in fourth from the video but it seems first and second were faster.
Definitely helps bring the rpms up faster from 1500-5500, then it's pretty much even from 5500-6900. Was kinna disappointed with results, but hopefully helps my 1/4mile time and red light racing haha.
@@RevsALot Agreed. the day-to-day driving especially in the lower rpms, from light-to-light will feel peppier. Do you wish it wasn't this light though? Perhaps a weighting that is in the middle of this and stock?
@@xglserver yah maybe a little heavier would make for better daily, but I want to see how much weight I can shave off the big beast so everything helps.
@@RevsALot lightweight flywheels hurt drag racing.
@@RevsALot did it help your 1/4 mile times afterall?
light flywheell good for racing, circuit with so many turn section, BUT the impact is you sacrifice your high rpm torque, because its ligth weight.. and it doesnt have enough inertia to produce more torque in high rpm in top gear.. and the engine stall.. cmiw
I agree, and I prefer top end power. I'm back to OEM now, way better for daily driving.
@@RevsALot maybe you can try increasing static engine compression (high comp piston) or using bigger throttle body, for improving the engine response.. its make the rpm going faster.. 😁✌🏼
@@mourisegames I have intake manifold, runners and tb currently being ported🤙. Goal is supercharger by next summer🤞, and once the motor blows I'll build it.
Great video lol I was debating if I should get a high performance clutch or stick to the oem clutch because I need my clutch replaced what should I get lol
This setup actually broke a few k after install, so I went back to oem. Wasn't a fan of the lightweight flywheel, loved the low end torque it had, but hated the driveability.
Oh ok then I’ll probably just stick to oem or maybe oem+ if they offer it screw the light weight fly wheel lol
Do i need to flash the ecu after light weight clutch installation??
I don't think so. I never did, but after having it I wouldn't recommend it on a daily TL. I would just get lightweight pulleys instead.
@@RevsALot thanks
We're talking about manuals here, the only thing you need to flash when you change something with it is your muscle memory lol. Engine stuff? Yeah may need a flash depending on what you do but manual is preferred by many because everything about it aside from gear ratio's, flywheel weight and clutch itself is all you.
first :)
What have we learned today. Soec flywheels perform better in a racing environment more than a city one. Who would've thought 😂
Well if you race your daily then🤷♂️, but either way I'm back to oem setup since pressure plate broke in a cpl thousand miles.
@@RevsALot rip
It's worth it? You lose torque?
You gain insane torque, lose a bit of top end imo.
Speed mitter moving the same to me lol
It only helps in lower rpms, almost makes it worse top end
OEM is best
I like the lightweight for low end torque, which is what the TL lacks bad. Now I don't have to rev to 5500 to feel the power.
My experience with 18lbs lightweight fly wheel from 26lbs oem
Pros- low end torque , easy rev match, easier clutch kick slides
Cons- wastes more gas , power train noise ,
I went from 32lbs. to 15lbs.
I agree with your pros and cons, but luckily I don't have much chatter. Engine noise is louder, which I don't mind. It definitely took away from smooth take offs, especially on a hill.
Bump up your rpms on take off problem solved
Pressure plate broke after 2k miles, back to OEM.
@@RevsALot what brand? I'm replacing my whole clutch kit with a stage 2 from ecs. I blew my Dmf up so going single on my stage 2+
@@jimmywoo7875 mine was Spec Stage 3 with Spec lightweight flywheel
Why. Same
It's not the same in low rpms it's not even comparable, night and day difference...high rpms OEM seems to work better though. Lightweight flywheel is great for extra torque but top of 3rd and 4th OEM seems better.
at 2:38 you just suck at driving bro lmao. Nice upgrade, next up is the axles gonna go bad.
Haha🤙, yah probably. Hopefully I still have warranty then.
