3T-GTE,
Mate the 3T-GTE is old technology and hence it does cop some flack and I am the first to admit, when next to a 3S-GTE I wouldn't be picking the 3T. (All being equal in terms of install etc of course !)
BUT they are not a bad thing, There are a large number of people who hang shit on them. These are the generally same people who who should never have been allowed to own a car in the first place. The vast bulk of complaints have been quite simply because of the persons own incompetence or they were to cheap to do a decent job. thers an old saying "You can't polish a Turd" you use shit parts you get a shit engine.
Jason runs 24 PSI at the creek to the best of my knowledge. The turbo is STOCK !
And yes the 3T-GTE bottom end can handle high boost as long as everything is set up properly. They are not a forgiving engine.
My engine is not yet finished so I can't say how it goes or comment on it to much. In theory it should be a good thing but hey time will tell. Might all go bang on the Dyno yet !
My head is actually a 2T-GEU head. It has been ported, oversize exhaust valves, 3 angle valve job and a set of very agressive custom ground hard faced cams. Cams were just under $700 as they are hard faced items not regrinds. A set of regrinds will set you back around $200 give or take $50.
Is this a good setup ?????? I dunno, I beleive it will be but hey I won't know untill i get it running. I am just testing a theory or two and am prepared to keep testing things till I get it right.
The block has been O ringed and it has a copper head gasket.
As for offsetting the crank.... I don't know anyone that has and the Y series crank hybrids are apparantly just not a good idea (they throw rods and are crappy revers based on what little I have found out about them)
I am happy to stick with the stock 78mm stroke (pretty sure the 3T is 78mm not 75mm, once again the grey matter is a bit dodgy at the moment)
Hope that helps,
|
