EJ20 vs EJ25 power handing?

[RB20ZED]

hey guys i was just wondering for my own information what the main differences are between these 2 engines which one is stronger and there trade offs ect. i have heard of good results with the 2.5ltr and seans wrx eta seems to go well with one. any others used them?

[[SPESHAL]]

I had one being built, but yeah, there seem to be much better results out of the 2.5 with a set of forgies. I know one that is stock with forgies, running a GT35, making something like 300 kw @ wheels. No EJ20's near that. They really come alive with a big snail, but you need to the EJ257 out of the US STi, has semi closed block, etc.

[RB20ZED]

so the local forester one isnt that good then??

[[SPESHAL]]

Not as good no. Doesn't have hypereuretic (sp) pistons, semi closed deck block, etc I believe, but that might not be 100% accurate. Have a search on one of the WRX sites like Rexnet

[Boza]

paul out of curiousity whos is makin 300kwatw? grundys?

cliff, seans has a 2.0L not 2.5L...

[TJ]

yeah i didnt think it was 2.5l

[Cake]

it doesn't have launch control either, he's just a good driver

[[SPESHAL]]

Some bloke over east who used the same workshop I did to build my engine.

I wouldn't imagine Sean having a 2.5, it seems all reports of 2.5's with VF turbos were they had fuck all top end, but great response.

[LNYMRKO]

lol b005t.

[RB20ZED]

well to raise another issue could we see a current photo of the engine number then thatl put a end to the debate... must have a date on it labled whatever the date is lol

It does a 12.1 @ 111 mph or something. That mph is hardly THAT quick, and I know of a few WRX's both over here and over east doing up to 115 mph with a similar sized turbo on a stock internaled 2.0, so its not that difficult to believe.

[Boza]

cliff next time your out have a look under bonnet for yaself to see engine number?

does this mean that mines a 2.5 too cos its as quick as his?

boost, it doesnt have launch control either, and if it did why would it be kept such a secret?

[LNYMRKO]

Beau there's heaps of rumors and suspicions going around lately about Sean's car, nobody knows what to believe. They were obviously 2.5L and launch control rumors, nobody really knows for sure what the truth is, people were starting to guess and wonder and get suspicious. As for being kept secret, some people are like that. They modify their car pretty highly and claim it to be "stock" to everyone, I'm not saying Sean does that, I'm just saying thats the case with some people. I still don't get why people do that. If you've spent the money, and it's that quick, why claim it to be stock?

[RB20ZED]

im just trying to clear it all up lenny is right thought if ya got sumthin why hide it id be more impressed that a car is so highly developed than claiming its semi stk and doing good numbers

[magic1]

this is gay.

[R32-GTR]

This is funny as . I think your a retard clint for even suggesting it has a 2.5L. And as for launch control ? I think his launch control is thongs off , 5500rpm and get the fuk out of there.

[RB20ZED]

dont call me a retard i just said what i had been told the retard would be the one that started the rumor but hey we still havent seen any proof its not thought
if it aint it aint i dont care but itl stop the rumors if someone actually saw the engine number...

[RRob]

It's the origional un-opened EJ20..............

Know this cos since he's owned it i know what's done to it. And it was stock with half a zorst when he got it

[RB20ZED]

well il take it as a ej20 then as robs word i trust so ej20 it is but the questions still are raised is the forester engine still a worthy upgrade or waste of time

[TJ]

maybe when your aiming for 10's with a massive turbo etc.

its obvious wrx's are capable of great times with still 2l

[[RX2]]

just go for tens mofo's lol

[[SPESHAL]]

Forrester engine will need some more mod's than the US STi motor. But it certainly is a worthwhile upgrade. You could put a brand new US EJ257 in stock form in for about 5k, plus you can run a bigger turbo than on the 2.0 so its an 11 second car there, plus gearbox!

[LNYMRKO]

lol @ thongs off.

[RB20ZED]

hrm makes me think eh us ej257 brumby ute anyone?

[Shaolin242]

thongs off launch control is classic.

[gtr_eta]

ha haa ha .... thongs off its so true cant launch unless i can feel the pedals

and a 2.5 ha ha wit a vf 28 all that'll be good for is towin caravans

[gtr_eta]

just ask me to open bonnet nxt time and i got power fc no options such as lc

[JME]

rexes are gay, get a hyundai accent with neons......

[magic1]

the other problem with the 2.5l is that the steering rack hits the block reducing the turing circle. ;)

[abuse]

dumb pingpingpingpings

[Fryman]

bropho spec.

[gtr_eta]

its afukn H6 just get over it ...... a 2.5 ha ha ha i heard on mirc people were talkin bout me changing my engine numbers to keep it like a 2.0
fukn idiots dont bitch and bull shit fuck man buy a rex put a turbo on and exhaust and do a twelve with no other mods and a healthy 12 at that.... if you cant beat em join em :werd: :blah:

[TJ]

power fc pro has launch control options

having said that, you car doesnt make enough power to be a 2.5l

[Fryman]

:S

[magic1]

i dont know how you are on your original set of thongs.

[drift 180sx]

2.5l would be better wouldnt it, you would have more power and torque???

[tino]

just a question on the 2.5ltr blocks, Is the bare block the same between the forrester and sti?

[[SPESHAL]]

Nah tino, STi has semi closed deck and possibly more....

[Shaolin242]

i dont know how you are on your original set of thongs.

that comment deserved more credit than it got. Fantastic.
