ACT Streetlite or Prolite ???
For normal daily driving and drag race use, which flywheel should I go for with XTSS Clutch kit? My research shows Steetlite (the heavier one) but just want to make sure before I order.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Just received my streetlite today. It was recommended to me by the C.T.O of A.C.T that I go with it rather than the Prolite. He said the Prolite would be too light for turbo applications. Ill let you know this weekend after I install it.

Rep Power: 330 having a lighter flywheel lets your engine rev quicker, so that actualy gets exhaust pumping through the turbo faster......The streetlite is only about 2.5 lbls lighter than stock so its not realy doing too much. When compaired to an aluminum flywheel the prolite realy isnt too light for everyday use.

Rep Power: 0 so what would you suggest the 8.?lbs or the 11.?lbs flywheel form act for a non turbo but maybe nos powered honda?? I an working right now on some engine upgrades but i do not have a turbo kit nor nos i'm thinking aobut going nos sjut becuse of the money and some other issues here and there. But anyway so what flywheel would you guy suggest for an everyday driving but wiht some strret race mods under. No forceinduction!!! I was thinking aobut the prolite but riceburner said it takes off to much power when running wiht your ac on and here in florida i run my ac 10 months out of the year!!! And as well i not like like to work a lote while driving lol so i think street lite would be better but a 2.5lbs difference is not very good at least what i think i think they shluld make a flywheel that weighs aobut 9.4lbs put it right in the middel!!!

Rep Power: 330 I ran my AC the whole time I was in ATL, its not that bad. You just have to give it a few more revs off the line thats all. realy the prolite is streetable but you have to shift quicker in normal driving in order to keep the revs up. but when you get on it its worth it, I cant remember the formula but I think its something like for every pound of rotating weight you remove from the driveline it (feels) lke you gain 3 HP. You not actual gaining power your just making it sooner.

Would the stock flywheel fit the ACT Clutch Kit (XTSS) without any problems or complications?

OK thanks, one more question though, is the XTSS kit best suited for forced induction, or is it gonna be a little too much for the civic?

Rep Power: 0 humm so i guess the prolite isnt too bad is it now!!! well not buying the clutch anytime soon well atleast not now lol!! just spend all my money on some pully and cam gear sill searching for a good underdrive pully dont want to get my harmonic balance thrown off and neither to they sell a harmonic balances for our civic so!!! by the way does anway know if anycompany makes bigger fuel injections for our civics i mean jsut using a fule pump is ok but if you put too much psi on it the stock fuel injectors will lock up for safety purposes and what you end up wiht is a blown engine!!!

Rep Power: 326 I have the Extreme disc and plate, stage 2. Also have the rolite flywheel. Runs so niiice. Power is improve and as rice burner said, you just have to shift a lil faster.

Secondly, does shifting faster only means that you reach the red line quicker, right? or is it that you loose your gear ratio of something like that? BTW I am getting the Streetlite instead of Prolite as I want to use this car for drag races only (and normal driving of course).

Rep Power: 326 I dont see how it would affect the strength of your accelerator pedal at all... But without boost it help my low end pull much better than expected. You just to give it some extra gas when started from a dead stop because there's a lot less momentum in the flywheel to make that initial leap forward.
Shifting faster means, clutch in, up shift, clutch out faster. The rpms drop quickly when you push the clutch in so upshift and engae the cluthc faster and you'll be fine. For racing, you do this anyway so it's no big deal. Street driving you just have to shift a lil faster than normal.

Rep Power: 0 humm aobut the injecrots i talked to opto_isolator cuz hes doing a custom fuel setup and he ordered some injectors form venom they suppose to be 390cc and this is what he worte back to me.
To be honest - I believe Venom doesn't know too much about our cars. I still have no injectors from them. They claim to be trying to order them, however I doubt they are really doing anything about it. I spoke with RC Engineering about modifying our injectors to flow at a higher rate, however RC says it cannot be done because they are a one piece design. So.....I am looking into going another route. I won't know until the end of this week hopefully what method I'm going to use...
aobut the injector and this kinda sux for him they really need to put out some injectors for our cars as well as a new TB out TB is like the size of a quater lol!!!

Rep Power: 0 by the way did you jsut add extra injectors or replaced you stock once?? and how much did you pay for the TB??? did you get the cusom manifold or used our stock plastic one i thik that so gay that we have a plastic manifold lol hey its also sad that a 2 liter mountain dew has moore displacement than our engine and that on most cars you need more torque to tighten a wheel nut than our cars can produce lol but guess what we still kick ***

Rep Power: 330 I hae 2 extra injectors, a secondary fuel rail, and a injector controller that adds fuel based on boost and RPM. The TB and custom intake manifold set me back a little over a grand.
