beams head on 3s-gtehe vvt-i Options

[wrathc5525]

i was doing some research and noticed that pretty much the only difference between the beams 3w-ge and the 3s-gte is that the 3s-ge has the vvt-i and producing about 197 hp compared to the 3s-gte that has no vvt-i but a turbo putting it at about 225hp. does anyone know of anyone that has tries to take the vvt-i head off from the beams motor and put it on the 3s-gte

Turbo'ing any N/A motor is decreasing it's reliability. The chances of something going awry, and increasing the cost and upkeep of the motor increases with the compression ratio. Is it safer to boost a lower compression motor, yeah, but is it necessary, no. The motor is under more pressure and thus, a pop is at a higher risk.

To go back to topic, putting a VVTL(i) head on a 3sgte would not work, there would be no way to control it w/o the proper ecu.
