QUOTE (GT2GT4 @ Jul 15, 2003 - 7:28 PM) you can use 3s-gte parts for it which would lower the compression thus making better for boost. I disagree... there are various differences b/w the Beams motor and a 3S-GTE. The main problem is compatibility in the electronics of the Beams, limitations in the crank design, *probably* with the oil coolers, etc. I know that alot of parts will swap over, but the internals of a 3S-GE cannot handle the same boost as a 3S-GTE. Besides being a pain and expensive to do, coverting a 3S-GE to a 3S-GTE (spec) is a high risk project; what I mean by this is that a 3S-GE will more than likely blow up, unless heavy modifications are done to the internals. I believe the 3S-GTE will out perform a turbo'd Beams motor any day... especially a 3rd gen 3S-GTE...

yes, and why deface such a rare engine to turbo it? if you want to boost, just get a 3sgte, don't mess up that beautiful motor. in the end it will cost way less to go 3sgte than to turbo a 3sge.
