to stroke or not to stroke lol

Ok so i have done the search option and i have read alot on the 2.3l 4g63

has anyone had a shortblock from ams that didn't feel it was up to the name? Ie. engine failed after install id hate to spend 4g's on a shortblock and it last a short time. im not a big fan of racing on the streets because im the guy that always get caught, so i just dont do it.

i would like to maybe see a track day at least once.. but for the general amount of time i spend in the evo its tooling around town i do like the occasional burst of speed on a back road but nothing stupid. no drag because id be in the market for a new TC or tranny

i guess im just trying to justify a 4 thousand dollar block right now and any info on the 2.3l would help i really want the torque and with my setup now i dont really expect to make much more power as i dont plan on doing an aggressive tune.

has anyone done the 2.3l and wish they stayed 2.0l? or vis versa?

also i have meth on it now would any one recomend loosing that on a stroker?


im going to call ams and speak to them on monday just to make sure its what i want. my current mods are in my sig other than the spun rod bearing mod i did in may of 09

thanks for any and all help guys

 

ive never had a shortblock from ams but any other product from them turned out great that i bought. id say if ur building a street car to go with a 2.3l. 2.0 is more 1/4 mile. id also get rid of the meth..im hearing bad things about it all over the forums.

 

AMS is very meticulous with their builds, you wouldnt be wrong to choose them. There are less costly options though, thats for sure.

 

have you thought about buschur?

 

 

yeah i thought about them as well but haven't seen any pricing for the "added options" on the site. ams has everything i want out the box and it only a little more money if i can get a block good for high HP reliable thats what i want

also like i said i gonna have to call and speak with each company.

does anyone know the best person to talk to at the respective shops?

 

Go with BR stroker,speak with Mike@AWD

 

x2

 

what makes the BR block better than the AMS?

and what shop that sells either block are the closest to KY

 

2.3L AMS built here very strong engine and very well built, I don't know if it's that AMS built it and took there time on it. I can say this little engine keep's making power and power and destroying turbo's in high boost!

Keep's on ticking!!! I beat the hell out of this engine just for the record!


OH yea one more thing 600awhp on pump 93 octane straight up no meth, no alc , no additives.

 

nice i really wish i could get 500awhp even better to see 600awhp
if you dont mind me asking what internals did you get? buy it brand new? pm price paid if thats cool. or post what ever

thanks

 

I've had 2 from them and I will never get another one. Some people have luck and some dont. If you do choose them, good luck.

 

"buschur magic" LOL

just excuse the BR nut riders. nothing is wrong with AMS. i believe the two shops would be about the same distance from you in KY.

 

AMS built it at there shop and installed it , It has all the candy

Oliver Rods, O'ringed and some other stuff there about 4000.00.

 

i was mostly joking around. you cant go wrong with a 2.3 from ams or buschur. good luck with your build.
