2.3L Motor and EVO 16g

[TurboDSMer]

I wanted to know if any one is running a 2.3 with an evo turbo? Wanted to know spool times and if the turbo falls off boost in the upper rpms. Thanks Sean.

You shouldn't have any problems with boost falling out. Spool times should be at 3200 or lower. Even though i have a built 2.0 my friend has a built 2.3 with a evo turbo.

I know it will spool faster than what it does on the 2.0 but that is good to know that the boost won't fall off in the upper rpms. What times does your friend pull with that set up?

Ask RDRKT. He recently did just that in his Galant. It's like driving a stock car with alot more power. I call it "insta spool"

He's been ghey and breaking in the engine the "wrong" way so he hasn't taken it to the track yet

What does "up top" mean? What do you consider "up top"? Yes, any 16g will drop boost at high RPM, sooner at elevation, and sooner also on a stroker. This is like asking if a turbo spools fast or slow. You want to know at what RPM the boost starts dropping from where to where.

Up top means in the high rpm's. I never had a problem with boost falling "off" in the high rpm's and thats 8,000rpm just to clarify. We are taking about the evo16g not your regular 16g and what not. As for the stroker i haven't seen any problems with my friends evo16g and his 2.3l with boost falling out and he revs to 7,000rpm. Then again am at or around sea level and so i can't comment on the elevation changes but i know to a degree that it does affect the performance of the car. Another thing i want to add as well is that with stock cams boost will fall out more in the upper rpm's unless you get cams but am sure you know this already

Don't you mean power instead of boost? I don't see how upgradeing to bigger cams would help keep boost from dropping? The engine would consume more air per rev with upgraded cams.

the last time i rode in a 2.3L stroker with a small turbo, boost was amazing at low RPM, but just didn't cut it up top. 9:1 pistons, 2.3L & a 20G = boost falloff @ <6k

The car felt amazing up until then, but past 6k it was pretty meh. You really need to run a bigger turbo if you want tons of power up top on a 2.3/2.4, though driving an evo3 or a 20g on a stroker is definitely a hoot, don't get me wrong.

Given the way the 20g acts on the motor, my guess is that you should be able to build 20psi on a 16g @ 2600-2800rpm with a high compression 2.3L motor. My buddy has a 2.0 with 9:1's and he's building boost on the evo3 @ 3100.

Most likely that is a td05 20G. I believe the Mitsu td06 20G which supports 400whp and is similar in performance to a 50trim probably does better up top. If I do a 2.3L stroker I will most likely go with a 60 trim. I don't really see the point of a small 16G turbo on that motor, power isn't going to anything big over a built 2.0L running the same turbo.

Yeah Rdrkt is a good friend of mine. I just rode in his Galant this past weekend. The E316g spools really quick on those strokers..

I thought I would update this thread sorry for the delay.

Mods are as follows:
Magnus 2.3
DSMChips with 650s
Slightly ported head
Evo3 16g
Ebay FMIC with JM Fab piping
etc

You can see the stock cams are really holding it back. The difference between 17 and 20lbs was 20hp and 65lbft. Im hoping some 272s will really wake this car up
