Whats involved to convert a Hatch 2.5 STi to 2.0 STi
Probably been asked before, but whats involved to convert for example a UK STi hatch 2.5 to run a 2.0 STi engine from say a blob widetrack STi!!! Been talking to a friend about this conversion and was wondering what sort of costs/work involved, not seen many conversion done like this, but anything is possible I guess so anyone seen it done??

Was having this conversation before Xmas mate as It was a poss route for me, it's going from dbw back to dbc and from 32 bit ecu to 16 bit may be wrong but stand alone ecu would be best I think also the twin Avcs?

But for arguments sake that someone was really determined that they wanted a 2.0 or maybe a 2.1 stroker using a 2.0 CDB, what would be involved, and lets say that they had a cheap hatch STi with a blown engine that could be done to it!

I have fitted a JDM Legacy GT 2.0 into a customers 2.5 Hatch, used the 2.5 inlet complete, 2.0 Legacy was twin avc's anyway with the correct cam triggers, on the OE 2.5 remapped ECU.
Also done 3 or 4 2.35's into Hatches, using all the 2.5 top end, although the twin avc's 2.5 cylinder heads don't take kindly to 14mm studs, they are very thin castings & distort very badly.
You can use single avcs heads from a normal 2.0,with std triggers, but you will need to either run a aftermarket ECU, or modify the inlet triggers & cam to suit an OE ECU, & remap.
