Im a 2.1L fan. You get rpm and a very decent increase in torque. I believe there is a thread with a 35r on here some where switching from a 2.0 to 2.1 and 40-50ft lb of torque increase was seen across the board.

I became a fan of the 2.0 long rod motor. Thing is sick on the top end.

I have the normal BR 2.0 motor, works just fine.

Good luck with your build.

i have a 2.3 with a hta86 and i love it. full power a 5k and pulls HARD to 8500. plenty of fun on the street.

imo...u dont really need to worry THAT much bout tq. in a street race, most likely from a roll. if so, break boost will take care of ur lack of tq and the nasty top end of a built 2.0 will keep u ahead if u get the better launch...From a dig, ur 2 step will keep u from lagging i would hope...so i say build 2.0 + hta35. proven to kill...

2.3L didn't like it at first , but then get my gear's fixed with a 4.11 final drive and I love it!

8500rpm on a 100mm stroke with 150mm rods?
or something special? What pistons etc?

A Longer 4th gear helped in my stroker, better for "Street-Pacing"

What do you do the other 5% of the time?

I'm building a 2.0. Just from the fact that allot of drag racers still run that set up, and thats the way it came from the factory so there is allot of development time put into that motor.

That being said a 4G64 would be my choice if i was upping the displacement, it's a better balanced motor in comparison with a strocker 2.3.

2.0 ....Higher RPMs and horsepower are what count with your type of racing.....I had a 2.3 and my next evo will hopefully be a 2.0. Not that I do any of that of course

built 2.0 (proven platform) also not to knock your tuner (i wouldnt trust a guy who uses an alias like "e-spec", or whatever that BS is) but nothing is going to be better than a fully built and blueprinted motor such as the ones that AMS and Buschur offer.

also might i suggest you buy a cheap second car (pay it off) just in case your evo takes a dump on you. ive had my share of motor/tranny/t-case failures. it sounds like your going to be beating the **** out of your evo with all that racing.

if your evo dies, the only boost youll be seeing is 5 hour energy drink while your walking home

so i have lofty goals for a road race car, im hoping to reach 600 at the wheels out of a fast spooling turbo that will rev close to 10,000. any tips? im looking in do possibly de-stroking? havent found much information really. id be willing to not fully reach that if not possible, but something close im sure can be done

Here is some really really good tech info about strokers vs 2.0s. Its a LOT of info (60 pages IIRC)
