Ok I am planning the NEXT upgrade for the EK and it is down to a flywheel or pistons/rods. Flywheel is cheaper and if I understand it right it helps your acceleration a good bit due to the whole weight issue, although it doesnt add power, it helps you reach your max power faster correct? JE pistons and eagle rods at 11:1 on the other hand would give me some power but how much do you think? Also, I dont know is that a safe compression for my upcoming boost or should i got for like 9:1?

Thanks
Dan

 

Drawing from my very limited turbo knowledge, an 11.1 c/r would be a tad high for a turboed engine. I have a lightened flywheel, and it *definetly* registers on the ol' butt dyno. However, from what numbers I've heard, you'd get a lot more power from the new pistons. The power gain per point of increased c/r, as I recall, is much better that what you would regain per pound off of your flywheel. I think that made sense. :shrugs: Sorry I don't have any hard numbers to back up what I just said. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
