3sge C/R????

[The Black Camry]

I have a 3sge and plan to turbo so my question is, What is the compression raito of my 1st gen 3sge?

[The Black Camry]

never mind i found it!

[The Black Camry]

but Is 9.2:1 safe for boost and how much boost!

[canadiancelica]

Yes, 5-7lbs if you have good compression, rings, head gasket, bearings

Well my brother is running 10psi in his grand am and it has a c/r of 9.5:1

The 3sge is bacically the engine that Toyota boosted in the alltrac, withother modifcations. But they also boosted it from the beginning of its life. you're talking about boosting an engine that is ancient now and is guaranteed to have compression loss and leaky seals, rings, valve stem seals and worn bearings.

Go ahead and out 10lbs to it, see what happens. THen come back and ask us what you need to rebuild the engine.

FReshen it, then boost it, be smart, not a smartass

i already did rebuild my engine!!!!

[canadiancelica]

you could have said that in YOUR first post, more info = better advice

[The Black Camry]

WEll in my first post i only wanted to know C/R.

[canadiancelica]

see, there's the smartass again.

Fine smartass, in your 3RD post, you should of stated that

[The Black Camry]

Im not trying to be a smart ass. you should take your own advise and be more specific also!

[canadiancelica]

if you have the 3sge rebuilt and it has soild balanced compression, then it should take 10psi all day long no problems. Do a little more research into the 3sge versus the 3sgte and you will find all the information you need.
