For those who do have the 3S-GTE swap, couple of questions:
First, for those with the stock GT tranny, how are you finding the gearing and relative ability of the tranny to handle the power. Second, for those with the E153 tranny, how is it's gearing compared to a stock GT's??? More or less RPM's at highway speed?? Better (shorter) gearing off the line or taller gearing?? Does anyone have a breakdown of the specific gears ratio for each tranny?? Thanks!! (I did a search but came up empty on this one) --------------------  |

Sean, Lagos is correct, the turbo will NOT be spooled even at 6500 rpm if you are only part-throttle. It is spooled up by the exhaust gasses, which means that air MUST be flowing through the engine... if the throttle plate is closed or mostly closed, then no airflow = no boost.
That's not to say that the E153 isn't a better tranny though. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
