Well im still cant make up my mind,But in the meantime i still need a core.instead of paying the core charge that some of them shops are asking. Did i mention i've never even ridden in an evo!!! So when im done, it should be surprising!!! thanks guys

If you change your driving style, a Buschur 2.0L won't be hard to drive with a big turbo... even at 5k full spool, its still easy to drive before that. Consider like a stock civic at vacuum. =]
Buschur recently reduced their core charge on their built motors and have become even more affordable now... not to mention Shepherd also uses the Buschur shortblock.
Also, there's a good reason why most performance shops and all the fastest Evo's in the US use a 2.0L instead of the 2.3L. =]

+1 that's basically what I said in the beginning

One thing I think nobody has mentioned is with a stroker it has a lot to do with matching the turbo to the displacement. Somebody mentioned how with a larger turbo , lets say its a gt40 or even 42r yes a 2.0 would be a much better match because of the higher rpm ability, however on a turbo like a 30R or a 35R, where they spool much quicker, the top end of the rev range remanins the same 8500 rpm or so, but the spool is more like 33-4200rpms, with a lot more torque all the way over, which is a LOT quicker on certain types of road, however a bigger turbo that has an engine that can rev higher will almost always win in a straight line. Imagine a cosworth head on a stroker engine, or a slightly destroked 2.4 liter with a built head, where you can have your 300 or so rpm quicker spool and rev to about 9500rpms(Im assuming thats what you would gain with only a slighty larger than stock displacement stroker), that will be the day....

I wouldn't recommend a piston speed greater than 25 m/sec for any engine where longevity is a concern. I especially wouldn't even recommend that figure with the EVO's stock cast pistons.
That works out to ~8500rpm for a 2.0L, and ~7500 for a 2.3L stroker.

I have all the parts now to build out the new stroker but now I am thinking of going with the 2.0 again. I am going to use the BR GT35r kit for sure. I have Dave's head so if I just go with his shortblock I know I will have a 9000+ rpm redline and so far everything I have been able to figure a 2.0 at high rpm will make more power for longer then a stroker.

Personally for me i like torque and i like it fast i don't want to have to wait all day for it or rev the motor to eleventybillion. If i liked that, i would have kept my S2000. The 2.3 is going to give you the power sooner which is important to me. Personally id go w/ the 37R turbo setup, but again, i am a power *****.
