STi 3/4 heads and cams will do you for around that level, we can supply them pre chambered for your 2.5 engine and gas flowed should you wish.

I'm interested in a high-flow heads for a 2.0L.

As ww said, how much for those STi v.3/4 ones?

Blimey, you're not wrong.

What are std unfettled STi v.3/4 heads (I'm thinking cleand up 2nd hand ones) good for, bhp-wise?

Do the v.3/4 heads have the same bolt patterns to suit v.1/2 inlet manifolds and headers.

V3/4 is wat you want.

And yes same bolt pattern as yours. V1-4 are same. V5 on changed to the staggered bolt types. The P1 is v5 so won't fit.

I've a set of V3 STi heads.. £400 plus p&p

Thought that was the case - excellent news.

Just doing 'homework' at the mo, so don't need heads now. May get some later - thanks anyway.

What are they good for, bhp-wise?

Does the UK Hawk STi have the 2.5 instead of JDM's 2.0L - or is that only the MY09 Hatch (can't remember)? If so, does this mean the UK Hawk has 'better' heads than its JDM counterpart?

The UK Hawkeye is 2.5.

It has milder cams than the 2.0L JDM and are certainly not great from a porting/gas flow point of view. Proper heads would be an advantage.
