is a new flywheel for me?

[moonpie_murders]

i'm debating on getting a lightweight flywheel for my 325i but don't really know if it's for me. i got a hydrogen kit put on and i'm going to upgrade the ignition system and exhaust and that's about it. oh, i have an AEM intake on it. i don't race (too often) and i'm not really planning on any crazy high performance bouts with anyone. i just want good accel. and good gas mileage.

plus, how do they help on the gas mileage bit?

back in the 60's, they tried a misting technique in the intake of a lot of the cars as a way to get better gas mileage. it did get better gas mileage but at the cost of an average of 15% hp loss.

well now, there's a kit developed that adds water to your mixture but atomizes it instead of mists it. the water is actually broke down into oxygen and hydrogen. all you get in your engine bay is a little canister. the input hose is right behind the AFM so it doesn't mess with your computer. just gives a cleaner burn so you don't use as much gas. i'm getting 30+mpg through town in my 92' 325i. the only thing i have to do to mantain it is add a quart of water every few hundred miles.

google it. it's easily found under "h20 power"

i got mine installed for about $400

oh. and no power loss, because it's not water.

now....how about the flywheel question =)

Dont know if there would be any major mileage increase with light flywheel. Def a snappier throttle response, moreso if mated to a good light clutch.

Keep all of us posted on your experiences with the h20 electrolysis system! I am curious on the longterm overview. Read about the idea years ago, but now we have a real, live test subject!
