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 2nd Gen 3sgte had TVIS. Also the ACIS manifold doesn't have the restriction in the intake runners like TVIS did even when the butterfly's were fully open.
An example, quite a few people here in NZ who are running a 4e-fte or a 5e-fte in their starlets had improvements with an ACIS manifold from a 5e-fhe You would need to sort out the oil and water lines aswell, the 3sgte uses 2 extra bolt holes on the top, the 3sge has them but doesn't use them. -------------------- |
