yeah I know of the 3t-gte, I assumed it was the same block as the 3t. And i agree dropping one of those in would be instant power. Plus stronger rods, crank, pistons etc. Good base to work from. As for the the context in which you take the open question of 'is it worth working a stock 3t' i take the question as
"If i do a few things to a 3t can i get it to perform reasonably well for decent HP per dollar gains" for which i can say yes.
Of course the 1ggte is practically a bolt in too, but then again, i didn't take the question in that context.
Also, i don't see the problem having a "pushrod" turbo. I don't understand the joke with pushrods? They work. So does OHC.
Is it just a term based off that under carbed, under cammed (emmisions) clapped out old V8's used pushrods? Or is it a term used to describe how valves are opened?
Or is a term that seperates the massive changes in head design (ie flow characteristics) of newer heads, which just happened to incorporate OHC at the same time?
Honestly the only 'revolution' in valve train technology i will
commerate to be 'new' will be solonoid operated continously variable intake/exhaust vales.. Ie, CAMLESS engines..
If you've got pushrods, or OHC, you've still got a CAM. and that
is the limitation of the engine's performance MORESO than the link of mechanical components actuating the valves. You don't believe me? Go have a look at some racing pushrod engines...
If you wish to make a joke of pushrods, go for it, but it's just going to be your loss, esp if it's a 3t-ct that blows you away at the lights.
