2.5 engine or 2.1
i no why poeple use 2.1 or 2.35 but what is the reason there is not many 500bhp engines cheers
|
I would go with the 2.1 on a closed deck block. The 2.5 will make more torque but the 2.1 will make more power ;)

Oh, I've chosen the 2.1 CDB route for my new one. |
2.35 , best of both worlds :thumb:
|
the supporting mods gearbox,clutch, coilovers, breaks, anti roll bars, injectors and much more it's a big jump from 400 to 500 and it's expensive.
2.1 more for drag use 2.5 more for road use although 2.1 will make a nice road car but not as nice as a 2.5 |
I have both a 2184cc wrx with a GT3071 for hillclimbs and a 2.5 STi with MD321t for road use. The 2.5l is much easier car to drive in traffic. The extra torque available at lower revs makes a difference. Same power about 470bhp but the 2.5l has an extra 70ftlbs torque. I am considering a 2.5l for hillclimbs as well due to this.
|
prefer my 2.5 to the original 2.0, the extra torque makes for more relaxed driving but not as free revving as the 2.0 same BHP though just not as savage
|
A friend of mine had four built 2.5's fail at 500+ bhp
He now runs a 650 bhp 2.1 bult by Alan Jeffery at Enginetuner. and it laughs at the punishment. Guess which I'm aiming to buy currently ? dunx |
A 2.5?
I love mine, SO easy to drive yet it will spin all 4 wheels at 80 in the dry in 4th. |
Stick with a newage sti 2 litre engine, im running one at 500 + and hammer the living daylights out of it!
|
I had a 2.1 fitted this week with a MD321X, JGM mapped it thursday and it maded 497bhp 437lbs/ft on V-power

No right/wrong answer to this one mate. Any of the above with good rods, pistons and a good builder

Stay away from the cheap end of the market rods, if going for the 2.1.

Don't get me wrong the 2.5 is quite a beast, but haven't seen one last ( at my budget ) running 550 bhp. So a slightly less torquey 2.1 that will rev to 8K rpm is fine for me...

However.... the 2.1ltr is a good option all things being equal. |

I had the same questions last year , i don’t think there is a answer it’s all down to personal preference and budget. I went with the 2.35 to try and get a compromise between the 2.0 – 2.5, so far i am very happy with the results and the way it drives.
