I have lots of experience with this having built and ran every 4g combo there is.

It’s easier on parts to make 400 ft/lbs and rev to 9,000 rpms to make 700hp than it is to rev to 6,500 rpms making 500hp with probably 550+ft/lbs.

Your driving style is up to you though. Typically people that want a lot of response and torque move on to other platforms after either breaking a lot of parts, or just not getting the driving experience they want.


If you like riding a two stroke dirt bike you’ll love a big power small displacement turbo car.


I would say that for a pumpgas limited setup more displacement is an easy way to up the power ceiling, and you won’t have a big torque spike breaking everything.
I know what you mean but i rarely go over 7000 rpm even when i race against people on the street and the closest drag strip is over an hour away from me so 2.3L stroker fit my driving style a lot more than a high rev 2.0L.
I guess i'll go with the MAP stroker kit and a 4g64 crank , that should be more than enough to put handle 450whp right ?

IMO, you don't need the 1400HD and the turbo tuff rods for your desired HP range and your use, you are spending more money and are making the rotating assembly heavier if you know this means. The standard forged pistons and H-beam rods are more than enough and you can save several hundred dollars and can have the rotating assembly lighter. The 1400HD has the same forging as the standard, it's just come with upgraded pins and some gas ports or optional thing. And the turbo tuff rods are durable but too heavy.
If I were you (your purpose that you mentioned and the cons of stroker are considered), I would go with the standard 2618 forged pistons or 4032 pistons (I personally love 4032 for daily drive, durable enough, lighter weight, less PTW clearance) and h-beam rods (lighter weight than turbo tuff) combos and with the saved money to have the engine balanced or to buy a fluidampr or ATI damper.
I dont know, its hard for me to try and piece a kit together since i barely know anything about engine upgrade . The easiest option for me right now is to buy the kit from MAP and a 4g64 crank and save up some cash to build the transmission and im good to go, i hope..
 
If you run a 6 bolt block you definitely don’t want to run a stock 4g64 crank. I wouldn’t really recommend the 7 bolt stock cranks either, but they seem to hold up slightly better. The issue is they only have like 3mm of journal overlap and break at the #4 rod journal.

If you want 100mm stroke a cheap eagle crank won’t be in any danger of breaking at your power level.

I have a 95 tsi so i believe i have a 7 bolt ?
 
Yes, you do. unless you did a 6 bolt swap.
I found a fresh rebuild 6 bolt short block for $1500 obo
OEM Crank
Ross 8.5:1 Pistons
Eagle rods

complete deck down
I know its not a 2.3L stroker but what do you think ?
