Which is better, and why? 6 bolt 2.3L stroker vs 6 bolt 2.4L (g4cs)

I am considering my car's future; I'd like a GT35R.

A 2.3 looks like a stocker, as if anybody could actually tell anyways. Other than that, a 2.4 is easier to build, and gives you the extra .1L of displacement. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Either will spool most GT35R's easily.

i like the 2.4Ls extra deck height. more deck height = increased rod ratio = less cylinder side loading = less wear.

not like it really matters, i don't think the avg lifespan of a 2.3/2.4 is 100k miles in built form. :)

The reason they don't last isn't because of them being a 2.3 or 2.4, its because usually they are pushing a shit load of HP. I bet if you put a 14b on it and ran 11psi with minimal mods it would last a long time.

I would definetly do a 2.4 though, cheaper, easier.

A 2.4 is cheaper and easier, however I have no clue what it takes to mate a 1g or 2g head to a 2.4 block. A 6 bolt swap is well documented, which would give me a better piece of mind. I don't think a .1L difference would mean too much in spooling anything. You'd see it something like 150 RPM sooner, but that's what nitrous is for.

A 2.4l will be no different than a 6 bolt swap except for the timing belt. All mounts are the same. You may have to tap the knock sensor hole, that should be the extent of it.

So there is no huge performance gain from going to a 2.4 over a 2.3?

The 2.4 is easier, cheaper, and should be more reliable. Performance should be similar.

The extra displacemet will give you a little more tourqe.

I usually use a set of ARP headstuds. :D
