whats the max power that A 2.3 stroker can produce???

How much money do you have?

 

[chuckb27]

about 3k

How much money do you have?

How much a 2.3 can handle depends on what parts are used and how well it's built. The biggest problem with a stroker is the high stroke to bore ratio. That extra 12mm of stroke equals a significantly higher amount of stress on the rotating assembly at high RPM. Strokers typically can't handle as much power as a 2.0 of the same build quality, but can make it much more easily thanks to the added stroke and displacement.

But without knowing the actual parts used in a certain 2.3 stroker, nobody can say for certain what the actual power limit is. Is there a kit you were looking to go with or did you plan to use a 4g64 crank with forged rods/pistons?

For 3k you could source out all the stuff you need for a stroker kit build but unless you have a crank already you would be cutting it close for all the parts for just a lower end build.

you are looking at
pistons
rods
crank
bearings rod and main
head gasket
machine work (bore & hone, align bore, deck block, balance rotating assembly, hot tank, if you found a used crank it will need to be polished and mic'd at the minimum and possibly be cut if not in spec )
new freeze plugs


Thats just what i can think of off the top of my head. Dont know what your plans are but if your total budget for your build is 3k a stroker and a turbo able to take advantage of the set up isnt going to happen.

I have never heard of anyone maxing out a 2.3L build. But on the other hand there are alot of stupid fast 2.1L cars out there.

well i have the 6bolt 2.3 stroker block already with kelford 272 cams and kiggly racing beehive valve springs... my goal is to make at least +600whp DD

6bolt 2.3 stroker block

No such thing as a stroker block. stroke is determined by the crank.

Are you saying you already have a stroked motor with a 2.3l displacement?

And if you do already have a 2.3L stroker in it then the sky is the limit power wise depending on components as stated earlier. but for 600 hp I would suggest a larger turbo to take advantage of the extra displacement and the head setup like a pte 6262 or something equivalent. just be aware of the supporting mods that will be necessary to properly support 600 awhp and stay together.

 

[chuckb27]

yea...

edited my post above also but yes the 272 cams will be enough cam without getting the super lopey idle issue some of the larger cams can have.

kelford 272 are some of the better/best cams out on the market for our cars.

 

[chuckb27]

the turbo i was going to use is a gt35r

 

[3kgt2nv]

pte6262 is cheaper and flows a little more than the 35r. I would advise doing some serious research on modern turbos. granted the 35r is tried and true but for less $ you can get other turbos that will perform the same if not a little better. Also look at the fp hta turbos.

What are the pros and cons of a 2.3 stroker

 

[3kgt2nv]

million threads on this already. use the yellow search button up at the top of the page. you could read on stroker motor stuff for a few months

wow thanks alot
