2.3 stroker motor

[quagmire]

so I was wondering if any one has built a 2.3 stroker motor and could tell me the pros and cons of what they experience with the motor. I already have the 4g63t bblock and head and a extra 4g64 motor for the crank . Any input would be great thanks for your time

if you go to Buschur Racing websites you should be able to figure that out, they explain the best the engines they offer. heres a link

it's a torque monster you better have a built tranny and axles

[quagmire]

I have a 95 s 5 speed I thought about building or should I try and source a gst tranny and build that . I was wondering on how reliable the motor would be I'm still new to the world of galants so I rather ask the experts before I jump into a motor build

[xd_01]

my bad I thought you were talking evo platform

[quagmire]

Ha I wish

honestly i have never been a fan of the 2.3 stroker. I myself am running a built 2.4 64 DOHC. but if you plan on building the motor like a 2.3 would take then I personally recommend a 2.4 Long Rod motor.

for the 2.3 stroker you take the 100mm 2.4 crank and put it in the 2.0 block with the 6mm shorter deck height meaning you have to buy stroker style pistons which have the wrist pin moved 6mm higher to make up for the change in the stroke of the crank. so i figure if you are going through all that you will be going forged internals because you need the stroker pistons at least. The 2.3 makes good torque and power but to mean never seemed like the best idea because most people only run stock size 2.0 pistons or 85.5mm pistons.

Now for the 2.4 long rod which will personally be my next motor build for any galant/dsm i end up doing or even an evo for that matter. You leave the 2.4 crank in the 2.4 block then you get 156mm rods which are 6mm longer than stock then get the stroker style pistons for make up the difference in either stock 86.5 mm or 87 depending on how your stock walls are. The end result is a built 2.4 that can rev to 8500 rpms while having the stroke and displacement to move more air so in short not as torquey low end but one hell of a power band. I have thought about so many builds and I personally would only build a 2.4 long rod like this or a 2.1 super long rod which is 88mm crank in the 2.4 block with 162mm rods and stroker style pistons and capable of revving to 11k.

[quagmire]

I would never trust myself with a 2.1 that 11k red line would be to temting to hear . I learnd along time ago if your building a motor do it the right way from the start or you'll be doing it again , so I did plan on buying all new forged internals and what ever else I needed to get. The reason I was thinking about the 2.3 was for the torque because its going to be my daily driver and traffic sucks in New York so I wanted some power to move around in traffic. Plus I really want to spank my friends subie

[Galanttuner10]

A long rod 2.4 will beat a 2.3 or normal 2.4 with the exact same setups. And have plenty of torque still being a 2.4.

[Isaurio]

2.4 87mm club here. Lol

[quagmire]

Looks like the 2.4 is the way to go then , my only question is then how much boost can a 2.4 motor handle if its fully built

[Galanttuner10]

you need to stop thinking about the engine code and start thinking about the parts going into it. it uses all the same parts as a 63 so it can handle the same amount but will make more power and torque compared to a 2.0 and will spool a turbo faster.

[Isaurio]

My turbo spool about 2800 rpm or so. On low boost at 10 psi and 8psi spring. Set at 6psi for breaking.

Torque monster.

[laxinwarrior]

A completely stock 4g64 will handle up to 15psi before going boom ... ask me how i know.

[Galanttuner10]

I learned that the hard way too. 15 felt so good so I tried 18 and lifted the head right off the block...

[quagmire]

Wow so that's the fun way to find out

[laxinwarrior]

I wouldn't exactly call it fun but sure...

[Galanttuner10]

Def not fun.....

But it made me buy a new car for a daily and build a new motor for it lol

[quagmire]

Yeah it never is fun I've blown the motor in my mr2 three times so I know the pain of that and that's why I'm on here asking about a motor build on here. I wanna do it right and do it once because the galant is my daily .
