ive only went and blown my96 scoob. 4th piston and looking for any bright ideas on replacing it. herd lots of lovely storys. eg 2.5 for more torque etc etc i would be greatfull for any advice and opinion on what you think is the best option.

 

Those that have the 2.5, love it

 

so whats the best thing about these 2.5s
and what price are you looking at to get the job done

 

Take care.

To make a 'nice' engine from the 2.5 needs supporting mods in other areas.
By nice I say 350 bhp x 350 torque.

As an economical short engine for a blown 2 lire the short engine ready to use for such a task is about £1440.
To that you need to apply the gaskets/sundries and labour to remove/strip/clean the stock engine of it's heads and a few other things.

Keeping the existing turbo and injectors (etc) will still give a good result but may not match the reviews you and I have read?

A good guy to discuss this with is David at Welcome to the API website who has done a fair few 2.5's now to say the least and can supply the parts etc.

Worth a call to avoid any surprises.
Tell him '911' sent you.

thanks for that graham. the mods ive got are. fmic,tdo5,walbro fuel pump, fpr,440 inj k&n air filter. would these mods do well for the 2.5. what bhp and torque is poss and are these engines reliable as i tend not to drive on sundays (lead foot)
