Lightened flywheel

[monsh]

ok since this dicussion comes up, people keep saying that with LCP and/or lighten flywheel, you will lose top speed due to the inertia thing .

i was thinking, it is possible that the engine is working hard to rotate the flywheel which actually means reducing the weight could actually make the car moves faster .

can anyone clarify this ?

and also the difference between the LCP which has damper and damper-less .

thank you :)

Happy Chinese New Year !

Think pulley as wheels, crankshaft as drive shaft, car as engine.

Lighter wheels = better acceleration --> light weight pulley
Smaller wheels = better acceleration --> undersized pulley
Thicker tire = less noise, less stress --> rubber damper
imbalance wheel = vibration --> cannot drivefast, more stress on drift shaft.

balanced, light weight wheel, thick tire = good acceleration, stable & comfort high speed.

Did I just explained everything?

undersized pulley --> what about the effect of using different size pulley to the pulley system ?
and this damper thing, i cant see the relationship to the less stress part and u didnt explain on the thicker tire part properly.
does it mean bigger rubber damper less stress and less noise ?

and the comfort high speed meaning ?

and what about the part about possibility of achieving higher speed with lighter flywheel and/or pulley

sorry if i ask much, just a major concern cause im interested on the fast rpm climb :)
