Im currently building a motor at the moment, car in the workshop all stripped apart. I built a Ej257 with forged pistons an rods but a rod bolt snapped and it all turned to shit.
So im either going to build a 2.2L or a 2.5L motor. 2.2 will prob be a stroked ej20
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each???
What would you do?

Thanks in advance

Why did the rod bolt snap ?

2.0 Higher revving, less lowdown power.
2.5 lower revving, bigger displacement allows for more exhaust so bigger turbo possibilities.(flame suit on) weaker construction.
2.2 Costly. need to buy a kit for 2.0

I thought you could get the ej22 from the legacy, fully closed deck. Thought they were the ducks nuts

EJ207 can take more boost than you can throw at it.

Why not a 2.7L ?

if you can find one.

your not mistakenly thinking an ej207 is 2.7L are you kato?

I don't think you can get any further out of that size block than 2.5L. you would make the block way too weak.

Why not go ez30?

There is a few around. Mine WAS one.

So a 2.2L should be a good balance between high reving an low down torque?
I want something that revs high but also has good low down street driving power

What roughly do you think the cost difference would be form a 2.2 to a 2.5? about 3grand?

I reckon about $2934.63
