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 |

Not to try and compare it to Honda's, but isn't vvti just like vtec? I know that people turbo b16's, b20's, h whatevers (you get the point) all the time. Don't you achieve a faster acceleration with the vvti (or vtec) kick? My buddy had a 99 SI, and the vtec kick felt pretty cool. If you had a 3sgte vs a 3sgte with vvti, which would win? I would think that the one with vvti would because it could go higher into the rpm range as well as have a better torque curve. That's just my thought on it though
