Upgrade 2.0lt To 2.5lt
Gday got an My03 STI 2.0lt has anyone recently upgraded theres to 2.5lt and if so what was the way you went about it eg. bought your own 2.5lt block or got a workshop to do the lot. If so were you happy with results dyno etc.

Why do you want to 'upgrade' to the 2.5L?
Essentially we get them as the excess USA stock. JDM still uses the 2L engines which proves (in my opinion) they are still the bees knees. Already having a EJ207 means you can smash in some serious boost which you can't do on the EJ257's.

tuna runs 32 psi in his ej207 block. Thats a pretty good sign of its strength

20 psi is only 1.3-1.4bar.
With a good tune and supporting mods up to 2 bar is easily achievable these days.

For the cost of converting to a EJ257 (quite a few thousand) you could spend that money on turbo's/intercoolers/suspension and be well ahead.
