I sold my 97 talon. I picked up a 92 Talon AWD 6/4. It has 9:1 wiesco pistons, eagle rods. It has 1500 miles on the rebuild. I'm in the process of putting FMIC, alky inj, 660's, extrude honed intake with a PTE 50trim. 3inch custom exhaust. Maft keydiver chip. Pretty much same setup as the 97.
<And my technical worth quote was not geared towards you George, so good job for thinking something was intended for you and getting offended when it wasn't even meant for you and it was quoted about someone else totally different. And if what you said about Daddys buying stuff and fixing it was a stab towards me, you could not be any farther then from the truth.>
My apologies.
I liked the 2.3 on the highway too. When your cruising in 5th at 80mph at 3300rpm at 18% throttle and push it to 50% throttle, your instantly at 20+ psi and at 110 in a blink of an eye. Where as with the 2.0 I had a tendancy to downshift to 4th to get past the lag.
In order to get benefit of the high rpm output in the 2.0 you would need a lot of supporting mods. Big Cams big head porting with bigger valves bigger turbo and all that would seem to make it not as enjoyable as a daily driver. That would be my opinion. But you know what they say about opinions.
It's okay. Alot of people like to think that I have had my dad buy me stuff and pay my way for everything but that has not been the truth since I have gotten out of highschool. I pay for my own place, all my cars, any mods and all my bills on my own.
I was with a crew that did alot of testing on a 2.3 this weekend and I have to say I was impressed by what the car is able to achieve with that motor. It has shined new light on my outlook of those motors. With your setup why do you plan on going with such a "small" turbo like a 50trim on a 2.3 when that is pretty much the perfect turbo for a 2.0. I would think a 61+mm turbo would be more sutable for that setup.

I have no technical knowledge.. that's pretty amusing. I don't know everything about mitsubishi because I don't own one. I was just mentioning nothing replaces displacement. People say more boost does .. well when you have the 2.0 liter tuned to the best and a 2.4 to the best, I am sorry but the 2.4 will make more power. It's easier said than how it really happens but I am just mentioning that. You're right everything has a certain and better use when it comes to things. I was just trying to understand where you are getting with this thread with such a broad topic. You don't have to come off to be an asshole with just me asking a simple question either..
I never said you didn't have any technical knowledge, it's just everyone knows a dsm isn't just your typical mechanical car. If it was it wouldn't be so hard for everyone to make them fast. I did not mean any disrespect in my post replying to you. The point I was trying to get at is that some times there is a replacement for displacement in certain applications. As it seems and shows that a good tuned 2.0 can beat a good tuned 2.3 in the 1/4mile with the factors of awd weak drivetrain and gear changes.
