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 |

the bottom line is, if you started with a 3sge, a small turbo is a good way to add a little kick to it, and anyways at this point you have traction and brakes to worry about. if youre after more than just a little kick, instead of pulling the 3sge engine to build it up you may aswell buy a 3sgte motor to either build up or drop in and call it a day.
if you didnt start with a 3sge at all, you would be almost retarded to start with one if a 3sgte was accessible to you. only reason for doing so is maybe if you had spare parts laying around you could combine a gen 3 3sge head with a gen 2 3sgte block, or you simply just couldnt get a 3sgte.. -------------------- Mike W
