Default 2.5 CRANK IN A 2L BLOCK

Hey everyone

Im just about to start obtaining bits for a cdb rebuild and found a thread claiming you could have the 2.0l ej20 block machined to take an ej25 crank using 2.0l pistons and rods which took it out to around 2.1l

Im just looking for any info if this is possible and worth the extra money and if it would be reliable for a later 500bhp figure

Cheers folks

The block machining is due to the rear end and centre thrust differences the 2.5 crank has a rear end thrust where as the block has this centrally located, there are also crank options which use both centre and end thrust locations.

You would however need stroker pistons, or pistons and rods depending on how you want the 2.1 motor built.

The 2.1 with the larger displacement will make slightly more power on a like for like set up compared to the 2lt and will be a very revy motor.

If your planning on buying “Decent” forged rods and pistons, the price shouldn’t be to different for either option.
