Anyway to beef up my 2.3?

[built 2.3]

i have a 84 2.3 single plug it is not stock it is very mild mine runs great i have a lot of power and the tq is great . all the is done to mine is head was ported a little and a cam the cam is a turbo coupe cam 400 lift and a 121 lube sep and 10.5.1 cpr i get 30 all around and iam making 200hp and 250 to 275 ft#s of tq it pulled a 20ft boat to the northern part of michigan every year it has a one barrel carb a header and flow master i broke the air clearer so there is not one but no damage i know of a place here in michigan that does great work on heads

I'm sorry but 200hp sounds kinda high for a carburated N/A 2.3L with porting and a cam.

Ain't gonna happen.

Esslinger offers this engine for 140 hp.

ok there are guy out there making 500 on a n/a 2.3 it is very likly

 

[built 2.3]

mine was built by a guy how does a lot of street motors here in mich i dont care if you beleave me but it is true flywheel numbers i did not put that is 30 over 10 thou longer storke

Maybe, but I HIGHLY doubt they are driving it around town...

The torque figure is a lot more concerning than the horsepower number. N/A, you can generate power by spinning faster. As long as you can continue to tune the components (cam, headers, etc/etc) you can move the torque peak where you want it to generate the power numbers you need. What you absolutely cannot do is increase cylinder filling more than a small percentage. Torque is directly dictated by total engine volume. From a low RPM 300 I6 to an F1 motor, the variance in torque per liter remains similar. A bit below 50 ft/lb's per liter on the low end, pushing up to the mid 80's on very highly tuned engines. Without forced air or injecting nitrous oxide, you're not pushing outside of that window. A factory 2.3 is in the 50's, depending on year. Even pushing it to the extreme end of engineering like you would see in an all out racing build, you won't go above 190ft-lb's. With a reasonable budget, 160ft-lb's is a lot more likely, and that may still require premium fuel because of the compression changes required.

500hp? N/A
is it running alky? or is the owner drinking it?

How about a 800hp N/A 2.4L?

2.4L 90 deg all aluminum V8 - 98mm bore x 39.7mm stroke...

Toyota RVX-06 740hp @ 19,000 rpm... (~200 lb/ft of torque)

No forced induction, no variable geometry intake or exhaust, no variable valve timing, one fuel injector, one spark plug... No pre-cooling of intake air, or injecting anything but air and fuel... Try driving it to your local mall though, haha...

I, of course, am talking about a F1 engine...
