I know that the 3s-ge engine has a higher compression ratio than the 3s-gte (which I guess means that the pistons' head are thiner right?), but what does it change so that we can't (or shall not) turbocharge the 3s-ge?
Is it because it would (I don't know) be too much compressed exhaust gases for the turbo to hold? BTW: what does the last number in the compression ratio mean? (Like in 10:3:1) This post has been edited by dudeofchaos: Jun 26, 2011 - 10:51 PM |

it's written 10.3:1. it means the total volume of a cylinder with the piston at bottom dead center is 10.3 times larger than the clearance volume when the piston is at top dead center.
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio you can turbocharge a 3sge but will have to watch out for detonation mainly due to the high compression ratio. to run a decent amount of boost, you'll need to lower the compression ratio, in addition to running the proper amount of fuel and ignition timing. in the end, you might as well just work with a 3sgte and save money. edit: ^ what he said ![]() This post has been edited by azian_advanced: Jun 26, 2011 - 11:17 PM -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
