2.4L Turbo Track Car

8700 (or higher) is fine for a stroker; I don't believe the car is his daily driver. One of the guys running a 2.7 litre stroker is revving to 9k and has 40k+ miles on his setup (granted, it's NA).

I hate to be that guy. But you are going to have big issues keeping the car cool. Im not ralking about the obvious issues of manifold and hot side turbo parts heat. I am referring to coolant and oil temps.
I recommend a vmount system. Otherwise a dual pass dual core radiator as well as a large oil cooler. I also recommend oil temp and pressure monitoring as well as keeping a close eye on coolant temps. Datalogging while on the track is a must and i also recommend the soon to be released canton baffled oil pan.
Looks good. I think you have all the right pieces to the puzzle. Good brakes. A good suspension. Id stick with street tires until you can address the common oil startvation with slicks and hard driving. And good luck!

Yes. I highly recommend that radiator. Or a full vmount radiator/inrercooler setup. Doing this you will obviously lose ac.
The track is addicting. But you must first be sure you can keep everything cool before you attack the corners!

Setup looks nice, but definitely a lot of concerns regarding cooling. To add, looks like it's only an oil cooled turbo.. People have had trouble keeping their oil cool with just an oil cooled turbo, oil/water cooled is definitely preferable. Car looks good and makes good power.

Nice build, I will be tracking my 2.4 this summer as well, planning on a large oil cooler and possibly a accusump. Whats the compression ratio on this motor? post us up some dyno sheets, want to see the tq curve!
