I was thinking ams 2.3l stroker ?

Thanks guys!

 

I thought I would say it first!! JK, I would say the stroker, I have the AMS one, and it is OFF THE HOOK!!! Check mods below.

 

You don't say who or what is the engine management, but that is key. You are at the fork in the road, for a Turbo kit, OR the stroker. I HAD to get the bottom end done before a turbo, (spun rod bearing). It also depends on what you are doing with the car. Drags, go turbo. everything else, stroker. MUCH better torque and response then a turbo kit. street turbo (AMS 50 trim) Drags, AMS GT35 or 37. GT42 too much for daily driver. that is my 2c! good luck and keep us posted.

 

I tried searching, but I will say probably not as hard as I could have! But, thanks man! My car is getting tuned via ECuflash@DBperformance. I definitely want the car to have the low down torque, and hopefully accomplish full boost by 3.4-4.5k I was looking into the stroker, because it would allow me to run more boost safely, correct? If I go bigger turbo I will probably go with aem ems too.

Thanks guys!

 

Stroker hands down then, It launches like crazy!! Dentures will be swallowed and eyeballs FLATTENED BEFORE FULL BOOST!! That is the way to go. The big turbos kick you in the back LATER, the stroker gives it off the line!!! As "heat" kills the motor, I can drive this car hard, and the exhaust is "cool" to the touch! I am not doing WOT runs yet, as I am still NOT tuned. I have a thread on this, go look at it. click my avatar!

 

Awesome, what turbo would you recommend going with the stroker? Is it just the stroker I need or are there other parts too? I will be calling AMS soon. Thanks for the input !!

 

Mention my name, you just might get a complimentary breath mint!! I am on the TME (stock with 10.5 hotside and titanium guts) for now, as the purchase of both, is too much for me now. I will go with the AMS 50 trim, if I upgrade. The torque and kick is AMAZING the way it is now!! I dont want to wait for the "kick", I want it off the line! if you have stock turbo, all you need is the stroker, and 680-780cc injectors. (go 780's. I am) It is like DAY AND NIGHT so far, will post some numbers when I get it tuned!! You got questions, I may have some answers, pick away at my brain if you want.

 

haha thanks man! I will definitely tell the guys at ams that you hooked me up with some info! Is a built head or shortblock needed at all? And, if you don't mind me confirming, the 50 trim is more of a road race turbo rather than the 35r which is more for dragging, correct?
