2.0 swap to a 2.5

[DannyD]

I was wondering what all I would have to do to swap my 2.0 to a 2.5? Like what wiring I would need to change, motor mounts, if I would need to change my 5 speed to a 6, ect..

Keep the WRX heads.

 

[DannyD]

Why keep the WRX heads?

This will be to easy then. Should I go with a long or short block?

 

[DannyD]

Also what do you guys think about stroking it?

 

[DannyD]

Does anyone know of a good mech shop? Ill just have the motor sent from the manufacturer to there

 

[DannyD]

Well nevermind.. wife said no to stroking it.. just getting the engine

 

[DannyD]

Im a deployed E-5 with almost no bills and making BAH. Lol, I have the money she just wants a new car

 

[Z1107]

Do not keep the wrx 2.0L heads. They are crap, flow worth crap, cause issues.

I would even use the old SOHC 2.5L heads before using the EJ205 heads.

You told me to keep mine.

 

[Z1107]

Now for another lengthy phone call. Lol.

 

[DannyD]

Long block or short block, fuji?

 

[DannyD]

Will I still only need bigger injectors with a longblock?

 

[HolyCrapItsFast]

Most people underestimate the size of injectors they need. You need fuel to make power, it's that simple.

And Air! :tup:

 

[DannyD]

No I mean with motor mount placement and stuff

 

[DannyD]

I have a 2.0 shortblock in my car right now. If I put in a 2.5 longblock will it fit without me having to relocate the motor mounts?

 

[DannyD]

NICE! Then thats what Im going with. Thanks
