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 |

so im possibly about to embark on this journey. i have an AT celica that i got for cheap and im going to use it for part to do a mcpherson swap in the front so i figured instead of buying another engine like i was going to that i could just use this one. are there any other real differences in the 2 that would make me not wana do this? like do the NA engines have oil squirters? i will be do all the work myself, forged internals, head work, the whole shebang. any info would be great.
