just wondered which is the stronger engine and more chance of blowing up thanks.


ronnie

 

Well the 2ltr is the stronger engine and has considerably less chance of blowing up, the 2.5 is a weaker block and internals so has a greater chance of letting go, especially if you start modifying it.

will it be ok to run 400bhp from the 2.5

ronnie

 

Not on standard internals....

Tony

sorry link dont work

 

link isnt correct but if its running a standard 2.5ltr block and internals then yes, I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole as your asking for problems with it...

Tony

Yes mate i have a litchfield type 25, 2004 reg blob, running 440bhp, there fine to run that bhp

 

No, mine is a Spec C limited, it had a few differences over the standard MY03/04 cars, the 2005 cars brought it more in line engine wise though mine has the vf36 roller bearing turbo, engine and transmisson oil coolers and the different geometry setup (and springs), cooling system, anti surge fuel pump etc, but as that one has had a fully forged 2.5ltr engine done it should be ok at that power

Tony

 

few thanks i will get it bought thanks again
