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 offend any one that has commented on this thread but most of you are all very narrow minded. there are a few reason why you could/would boost a 3SGE. as it has been said multiple times if you are going to build from the ground up it really doesnt matter what you start with, gen3 blocks are all the same. for example i have a ST205 that i want to build an engine for. my plan is fully forged blah blah blah. i have a st202 that i am going to use for a macpherson front end conversion after that its kinds useless. so i am most likely going to pull the engine and use it for my build since i already have it. once you get down to that level of build its not going to matter about stock compression or rod strength its just like taking a gen 3 3sgte and building it.
