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 |

All this vvti stuff and high compression stuff and midrange torque talk, I invite you guys to come in a ride in my 1.6 tonne gtfour and tell me i dont have low end torque, I think having owned or driven every variant of a JDM 6th gen celica I'd be in a good position to say Ive got more response, more low end power, more mid range punch, more high end power in my current setup than any other I have ever driven.
So off boost you get NA response right? then on boost your into the power, ... Well if you pick the right turbo like a CT20b or a GT28RS you are never off boost for long and even if you are, boost is only a gear shift away, it's not like NA response is going to make you fast at 1500rpm anyways, so why bother? Why waste 3/4 of the turbo's capability?? Dumb notion imo -------------------- Mike W
