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 |

While reading up on both systems, ive read that VTEC is much more aggressive than VVTI. To be honest, after driving an altezza and my prelude, the altezza was fair more aggresive with spirited driving when driven under the same conditions as my prelude, yet much more smoother. With the VTEC it was like a KICk...well we all know what its like, but with the VVTI much more smoother.
I understand it that, VVTI dosent "kick in" but instead is a constant change of cam timing as the car is driven. VTEC on the other hand, allows for the valves to operate in a differnt manner thus creating the KICK and such... One thing i am wondering though, considering timing, is whether or not it would be wise to just turbocharge the blacktop. I mean, the biggest obstacle would have to be with ECU timing. -------------------- (\__/)
