stroking the 2.3

MSO · October 24th, 2007, 05:27 PM

ok waht i'm syaing now is:

stock 2.3T
bored 0.020 over
2.5 crank
forged long rods/pistons
boost controller w/ stock turbo
volvo intercooler
and a 100 shot of nitrous

how much you think? (and how high can i turn up the boost?)

TurboLX · October 24th, 2007, 07:48 PM

now which turbo?

IHI or T3?

cam?

exhaust?

MSO · October 24th, 2007, 08:12 PM

T3

3" down pipe to a Y, dual 2.5" w/ high-flow cats and glasspacks

stock cam, stock port

TurboLX · October 24th, 2007, 08:22 PM

how much psi?

MSO · October 24th, 2007, 08:25 PM

that's what im asking you, refer to my previous post lol

TurboLX · October 24th, 2007, 08:28 PM

well the T3 can handle a max of 30psi but you dont wanna push it there, 20 psi is safe 24 if you get that itch

w/o the nitrous i'd say a good 290-300hp at about 20-25psi

MSO · October 24th, 2007, 08:31 PM

damn 100hp gain from exhaust, stroker, and the boost turned up?

that's not bad

lol

TurboLX · October 24th, 2007, 08:47 PM

see thats the good thing about the 2.3's the littlest mod makes a huge gain

and if you got the exhaust right with the a/f ratio right, thats gonna be one hell of a gain

MSO · October 24th, 2007, 09:00 PM

stroking it would be the way to gain a lot of torque right? i want the torque to rival that of the V8s

TurboLX · October 24th, 2007, 09:03 PM

yes strokin makes nce torque and its also more displacement

MSO · October 24th, 2007, 09:29 PM

can you just drop a 2.5 crank in there? or do you need shorter pistons with it?
