That will give you time to complete the engine break-in period before putting on the turbo too. The lower compression will make your car a little slower, but once you go turbo, it'll be all worth it! :thumbsup | |

56777, RE: engine rebuild Question Posted by EclipseRST, Sep-22-03 05:20 AM I heard there's not a huge difference. You'll be a bit slower. Kind of reminds me of having my 3" exhaust on before the turbo x(. It was so pathetically slow. | |

56835, RE: engine rebuild Question Posted by Nitrous_RS1997, Sep-22-03 06:51 PM if you drove a NA Eclipse with 8.8 compression, then drove a NA eclipse with stock compression, you would be VERY hard pressed to be able to feel the power difference. its a 5hp loss at max. most notabl when getting on the gas after shifts, but definitely nothing to be worried about. | |
