Hypothetical discussion here (and I tried using the search so bugger off)
What does the best and brightest think about engine performance if you drop the turbo off a 3SGTE? Assume you can boost the compression ratio easily enough and you assume you can run a stand alone ECU (something open source, mega squirt, angry hamster + wheel)? -------------------- -Mike

Why do all that to a 2nd 3sgte when you can just buy a 2nd gen NA jdm engine that shares 99% of all the US parts?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-TOYOTA-CELICA-...c49&vxp=mtr I remember back in the day with bolt on's people would have their 2nd gen NA in the mid 140 whp. Or you can sources a 1st gen 3sge head and slap it on a 5sfe block. There is a lot more viable options NA than taking a 3sgte and taking the turbo off of it, just my 2 cents. |

One upside to getting the 3sgte is that he could sell off all the turbo stuff and almost make all his money back. that money could go towards high compression pistons and a megasquirt. -------------------- QUOTE (Azncelica @ Mar 4, 2012 - 11:43 PM) I started with what I know to do, I swap engine into my car, I knew it was too much work to make it a AWD. I kept it FWD. Went to take a crack at doing the wiring conversion. Than, I realize, shoot, this is out of my league. |
