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 |

Alright ealier i posted that the blacktop might be able to fit through some sort of wizardry near the driver side engine mount. Well i think i found out the wizardry involved. Seems that what would most likly be required is a retro-fit of an st20** water pump, idler pulley, tensioner pully, tensioner, timing belt?? and of course the engine mount. Thats what i can gather to the least of things btw...ill put these tow pics here for comparison btwn the two. But it looks like the similarites speak for themselves. Also i hear that the blacktop uses a returnless fuel system AND
fly by wire throttle. The returnless system shouldnt be a problem for those who just continue to retrofit parts, but how would someone overcome the fly by wire throttle? -------------------- (\__/)
