What kind of build will get me the most power with a 14b?

[97-gst]

I recently converted my car to AWd and in november im gonna get my 6 bolt built. I wanted a 2.3 stroker but im not sure if this will be the best with a 14b. I may upgrade my turbo in the future also, but not for awhile. So basically what im asking is will a 2.3 stroker bring my car to life with a 14b?

I don't know if the extra displacement will do you any good or not, but higher compression would help quite a bit.

whats the highest compression that i should go?

I tried to post in your thread but I can't due to my DSM Tuners status.

Feel free to copy/paste this into your thread if you'd like.

Coming from the EVO scene, I can tell you that it doesn't matter what turbo you have that adding displacement significantly increases the excitement factor - PERIOD. If you are looking at upgrading in the future, great. If you are looking to keep the 14b for the short term, great. I can tell you that you're going to eat through the RPM range rather quickly. I'd recommend getting yourself some springs/retainers in the event that the redline catches you by surprise from time to time. I can tell you that my 2.0L with E85 on the stock EVO VIII turbo was a crazy ride @ 30PSI.

SO the 2.3 it will be, thanks
