flywheel and clutch for turbo set up ? ? ?

[Mpatient]

I'm getting ready to replace the Flywheel and clutch kit on my 97 prelude, and right now it's N/A but I want to turbo it within the next 6 months or so. So I fugre I should go ahead and get a flywheel and clutch that will hold up to the turbo set up but I'm unsure on what weight flywheel to get. I'm getting a stage two clutch which should be enough grip for what I'm doing, I plan on setting it up for about 350 - 400 hp, so my question is is what would be a better weight to go for 9.9 lbs. or 11 lbs., and also what brand.

any help would be most appreciated.

stage 4 6puck unsprung, unsprung clutches are very aggressive and in fact will snap your axle very easily, but will handle major hp.

ok so that being said, still what would be a more stable route on flywheel weight. the 11 lb. or the 9 lb. and I'm not trying to snap axles. so I think I'll be staying away from the unsprung cltuches. atleast for now.

[IntegraXTR]

I say go with 11lb...reason for, my boi ran a 9lb in his SI and for some odd unknown reason after raggin it out for about 2 months or so, the damn teeth came off the flywheel, maybe because its too light and weak, dunno. But an unsprung clutch doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna snap axles, its just really harsh, you can always go with 4puck or 6puck sprung. ACT makes sum good ass clutches, or have you ever tried centerforce dual friction?

[Mpatient]

never ran with a dual friction. the Clutch I was possibly going to run with was Exedy, I've had a lot of good experiance with them. also the Flywheel I'm going with however is ACT or Exact same difference. and I"m pretty sure that the weight isn't what effected your boys ring gear, it was probably more of the particular way the ring gear was pressed to the flywheel, what kind was it? so I know what ot stay away from.

Don't try centerforce dual friction, they ain't any good.For some reason the have problems with car that has high rpms.I had one,my friend with a rx7 had one.My dual friction came apart at high rpms in 3rd gear,so did my friend with the rx7...They work real good in the american car,like mustangs,etc..Get a 6 puck with springs in it....As for flywheel,i don't think it a good idea,to much tire wheel spin in 1st gear and it may bog in second gear too.The oem flywheel help to control the wheel spin or like a type r 15-16 pound(THAT Only turbo cars).My friend got a civic runiing 10 seconds,he install a lightweight flywheel he hates it.If its for the streets ,i wouldn't install one

N/A lightweight flywheel works good.

aight apreciate the info. teh car will be N/A for a little while so maybe I'll just change it out when I turbo it, I can always have fun droppin my tranny again in 6 months or so.
