2.3l + what turbo?
Exceler8 are you talking about a real 20g or a 16g conversion. This guy is obviously looking to make some pretty big power considering he is going to be building the motor, and is willing to drop 3500 on a turbo setup, so to me, it just seems logical that he would get a turbo that would support close to 500 or so whp on race gas, and low to mid 400s on pump, which is pretty much what the 30Rs seem to produce.

Who cares about HP numbers? The track is where it is at, in a strait line or through the twisties.
Iam talking about the buschur 20g( Ihave not driven in a real20g 2.3stroker yet).
Have you driven in a 20g 2.3 stroker? I have a stroker myself. I am going at some point be using a 3076r.
Also there are many turbos out there that can get him 500whp on race gas. Where does he want the power band? Remember a stroker will not rev as high as a built 2.0. So why have a shorter powerband with say a 35r
These are just my opinions. To each his own.
Uhhhh i think anybody who is purchasing a turbo kit cares about hp numbers. I have not driven a 20g 2.3 stroker, but I can imagine its a very fun ride, however the amount of top end power you give up using a buschur 20g, I think is far too much to outweigh the benefit of the low end tq. Frankly I could care less if I make 350ft/lbs of tq at 3500 rpms, because I will never be there, on a race track I find I spend the bulk of my time between 4000rpms and redline, which makes a 3076 pretty much the IDEAL choice for a stroker track setup imho. Yeah, a stroker will not rev as high as a built 2.0 but I guarantee you any REAL road racer will not be revving there engine that high, yes you give up the ability to rev close to 10k with a built 2.0 but with a stroker and a 3076 I would imagine you would have full spool at about 3500rpms(22psi) and the ability to rev it to 8500 if you build the head(springs and retainers).

I suggested it too, just you posted talking about the results/experience you had with a 20g in your last two posts in this thread, and I said it wasn't a good idea.....
Ted B, good to know, I am sure a 35R would work, just for a non full out race car, it might be a little much.

I will be running a 3076 and a stroker eventually, and it will be tracked heavily, I am pretty sure this is what AMS ran at one lap, and that was good enough for 7th overall. I would call up works, ask what they are running on there time attack car, do some digging for what people are running on their road course dedicated cars.

Agreed. IMHO from what I have gathered/learned through my own personal experience, if you want the quickest (read:reliable/streetable performance) from a 2.0l, a modified 16g of some sort is probably best, if you are adding 300ccs like lots of people on here are recently, a 30R variant is the turbo of choice, and you can tune it to your own liking via A/R choices and such...
