I knew a chap who fitted a uk 2.0 into a uk 2.5 hawk
So i cant see why it cant be done :) |

Buy a JDM Hatch :D.
|
Just bolt the 2.0 litre bottom end on to the 2.5 heads.;)
Jobs a good un.:thumb: |
Cant do that Ditch the combusion chamber on the 2.5 head is too big ;)
|
What about if he changed the management.
|
Wouldn't be cost effective I don't think Matty as it would still need heads and an ecu that can control dual avcs, Best option IMO is either refresh the knackered one or drop a complete 2.0l in inc heads and then sell on the dual avcs ones to recoup some cash.

Could he get a JDM long engine with dual avcs? and would he then need the ecu and loom or not? or some really fat gaskets.:lol1: doh or thin ones. |

Could he not just drop that in and add a second hand syvecs ?? |
OoPPs, note to self read the OP properly.
Surly shirley if you have all the relevant parts it's just a case of time. I'd fit the full engine and I doubt the loom etc would take much figuring out if you have both/everything required sat in front of you. P.s wires don't scare me, I was a auto accessory installation technician for 20 odd yrs.:D |
OP hasn't stated the damage to his 2.5
( knackered ) as in ? Cost efficiency , time , ease , & expense All play there part in this scenario :) |
Hi thanks for the replys.I was just asking If the 2.0lt sti engine would work as I have
a complete sti 8 to use as a doner if so |

Why not just forge the engine and go down the stroker route?
|
jura11;11133089]Can be done,but he(OP) will needs send heads over to USA or maybe someone over here doing this
JDM hatchback using same/similar dual AVCS this means he can use his ECU and he will don't need any kind of the loom Jura So he can in effect just drop the 2.0L JDM long engine in and remap. |

:eek:

So can the op stick his 2.0 lump in once he finds out which loom to use or which bits to splice together, then just run the avcs heads with aftermarket management?
Sounds to me like he's wanting to get the motor running using the bits he has without spending 1000's on rebuilds/forging which is fair enough. Not everyone has 3-5k to throw at a forged motor lol Mick |
You hit the nail on the head, my thought was why spend money if you have loads of bits
I pulled the sump of the 2.5 and the 2 centre big ends have about 1 to 1.5 mm of play so think the crank will be shot Phil |
Ok job done so far so good, I needed the ramp so had to get it done so
got stuckin striped both engines to blocks and swapped all the 2.5 inlet and and any thing that i could over to the 2.0 then put it back in the car turned the key and its a go. Got the check engine light on but thought it would be with no ex cam timeing and no engine warmup motor thing so a phone call or 2 on monday to see who can map out the bugs then stainless exhaust and a few little bits and bobs and good to go Phil |
So it lives?
