Im probably way too late on this thread but Ill post in hopes that someone else will be it. The 2.3L differs by the crank and 4G64 in strocker engines, and stroker pistons, the rods are stock 6-bolt length for the 2.3L and "long rods" for 2.4L engines. DO NOT put a 16G on the stroker, you will be unhappy that you wasted 500$ just to get a bigger fp3557 or GT35R or 60-1, the strocker will make these turbo's spool before or right around 4k. Also get FP3 cams, or a cam aimed for max efficiencey on the strokers.

I broke in my stroker by the Motoman way. Strangly I never ever got any smoke out the exhaust, not even from the 1st pull, but whatever.

The biggest pro's from the old 2.0 setup, is the ability to actually leave the car in a gear higher, in areas where you used to need to down shift.

You probably want to start with 'atleast' a 20g, and plan on something very big, so it doesn't run out of breath. I run a 60-1 on mine, and am EXTREMELY pleased with it.

Having gone through this personally, I can confirm that what Dustin and Curtis are telling you is absolutely correct. Do a motoman break in and definitely get a bigger turbo than a 16G. I had one at it was out of power by 5500 RPM.

20G is the bare minimum and you can also consider a 50 trim (to start).

Enjoy the torque,
