In th elong run what will be better drivabilitywise... meaning kicking the every lovin out of as many v8's as possible.... huge tturbo which in turn will have basically no bottom end, or a stroker and a very very minmal turbo 6-8 hundred dollar turbo... talking like alittle bigger than evo 9

 

Whats the budget?

 

lets say 4500-5k

 

just go with a nice sized turbo kit that isnt too big. research the 20g, 50 trim turbo, 3071 3076.

 

30R is what I would go with

 

i would go with a search

 

Yeah for that budget I would go with a stroker. This way its definitely reliable since you wanted reliability. With a big turbo a million things could happen.

 

Purchasing and installing a stroker motor and everything required to support it on a $4500-5000 budget?

I think one had better put together a costs spreadsheet before jumping into it, as I don't see $4500-5000 as being sufficient to tackle this project and make it worthwhile.

 

I got all the parts for a stroker and an install for 2200 bucks, it can be done you just have to be frugal about shopping for parts, thats it.

Scorke

 

BB50T, alky, and a clutch is what I would do. You would put down around 475whp, you would have a monster that would out run most cars on the road, still retain some low end, and would fall within your budget.

 

Unless you do all the work yourself (including assembling the stroker shortblock) 4500-5000 is not enough.

 

The original post includes no information about the rest of the car (if it even exists), as his profile implies that he doesn't yet own an EVO. Therefore, it cannot be taken it for granted that $4500-5000, for a stock car (that he may not even yet own), should be invested in an attempt to make a stroker out of it. Just the peripherals needed to support and justify the expense of a stroker require the better part of that budget, which makes $4500-5000 unrealistic.

And equally important, if someone is talking about a 'very very minmal turbo 6-8 hundred dollar turbo' (i.e. a turbo that can't fulfill the flow potential of even a 2.0L), a stroker isn't such an attractive option regardless.

 

Ted is correct.

Even so, using a 2.3 stroker with a "smaller" turbo isn't exactly the easiest way to achieve high HP goals.

Some road racing guys use the GT30 and a stroker to get a monster torque machine that spools quickly, however, in a lot of cases they run out of breath up top.

So, the best turbo kit for driving and overall stability would be a 20g or a 50trim on a 2.0

The Evo can handle, stock, quite a bit of power as long as care is taken with the tune.

On a 5000 dollar budget, basically you're looking at staged packages 1-4 from AMS, Buschur or the like, then have to cough up more money for the turbo kit and associated installs.

8-10 grand is what it takes to do it properly...so for the most part you have to lower your expectations or come up with a higher budget in the long run.

best of luck.

 

I would assume this car is already done up with all the bolt ons you can do other than turbo upgrade or stroker? If the profile says he doesnt own the car yet then why even think about stroking a stock car when/if he gets one? Thats crazy talk.

 

Hence my point - do not assume anything!
