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 |

then what is it you hear "kicking in" on 4age blacktops? when they cross over the 4500ish mark probably vvt kicking in, i'm not clued up on the 4a-ge engines to be honest but unless they changed to vvti for the blacktop after the silvertop 4a-ge then its just vvt, not vvti, which essentialy is a system that is switched on at a given rpm, so in the 4a-ge engines it does kick in, its not the same as the constantly variable vvti of the blacktop/redtop beams and the zz series engines. |
