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 |

If you were to turbocharge a 3rd gen 3sge in 2 different ways, that is:
1 - internals are the same and having the right amount of boost and turbo size for street use 2 - internals were changed to increase strength and lower the compression and having the right amount of boost and turbo size for street use At low to mid rpm range, which of the 2 setups will give more power and torque? I was thinking that it could be setup 1 because of the compression ration is still maintained. But then again, it's just my understanding and would appreciate if someone could enlighten me on this. Thanks. |
