Guest Chris Green Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hey guys I have been looking into turboing my NA but a friend told me there are significant differences between the GE and GTE engines so I thought I would ask if anyone knew what they are. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 GTE has more oil ways, I know that much. Think there are a few.more too but not sure off the top of my head! It's been covered on here before though so have a search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Different pistons - different compression ratio - different ignition system - different oil delivery - different intake - less turbos. The list is rather large. You can still fit a turbo though, just don't follow the GTE guides on doing so, you're looking for N/A-T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger NE Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yes the turbo version of the engine has recesses in the top of the pistons to reduce the compression ratio . . . That's why you have to be careful when turbocharging the N/A engine, as it has quite a high compression ratio. Another issue is that the W58 gearbox is pretty much on its reliable power limit already. It's quite a lot of work to do it properly . . . which is why many people just swap the engine for the 2JZ-GTE and all it's other bits. However, lots of people have successfully put a turbo on the 2JZ-GE . . . plenty of write ups on here and other websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastby4 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 You can just GE to GTE build. I've done it more than 20 times check out the pictures. Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger NE Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Depends whether he just wants to bolt on a turbocharger . . . (the vast majority of people aren't really up to doing a complete engine rebuild, let alone doing modifications to the block) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bambisdad Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Going NA-T is great. Just don't expect it to be a cheaper alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Going NA-T is great. Just don't expect it to be a cheaper alternative Yep, I agree with this. I prefer my NA-T to my previous BPU TT but it certainly wasn't cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Green Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 thanks a lot for your help guys i didn't think there would be so many differences. love some of the comments. I'll probably end up converting it to GTE there's need to put excess strain on the GE and risk unreliability when there are other alternatives. again thanks for the help.
