Lightweight flywheel in 964 C2

[TFarm]

Hi everyone - I've done quite a bit of work to my 1992 964 C2 (Fabspeed maxflow dual exhaust, high flow cat, Billstein B6's, Porsche big red brake kit, Steve Wong chip, etc. I was wanting to make the car quicker and short of increasing displacement, which is cost prohibitive, I'm considering adding a lightweight flywheel but have some concerns over some things I am hearing about the car possibly stalling out at low idle or some other issues. Does having a custom chip made by Steve Wong solve the problems? Is there a particular LWF that I should focus on that is better than others? I appreciate everyone's input/guidance on their experiences. Thanks in advance.

I personally do not feel they are worth the decrease in drivability.

When I ordered my chip from another vendor they asked me if I had a LWF. Seemed to me if I had said yes they would have adjusted the tune for it.

I recently drove a 964 with a LWF and loved it. It brings a touch of mechanical/engine noise into the cabin which could be good or bad depending on your preference. The engine felt much more lively with RPM’s moving up and down much more freely. Not extreme by any measure but definitely noticeable in a positive way. I didn’t note any issues with stalling or stumbling on the car I drove and I never had any issues with stalling either, it was very easy to drive. It’s on my list of changes when my car needs a new clutch.

YMMV

I think 9meister makes a mid weight flywheel. There is some discussion about it on RL. Might be a good compromise but I believe there is a bit of a rattle with the lighter mass
