This would be me exact setup, I already have the 30r i would just upgrade it to the .82 housing and go from there. I put alot of miles on my car and need something i can just swap in on a weekend and not have a tone of little issues. Really i think 400wph + should be attainable on these motors. With my setup. In order to build a 2.5 i need a block and so many parts and then my heads need work cams and valve train. Really a full swap sounds the best.

What ever you do dont run the 2.5 block with the EJ205 heads. Its really not a good combo. I tune them all the time. They are knock happy and just not a good sounding motor.
Dan, If you put the 2.5 block in make Damn sure you get some thick head gaskets. If you dont you will end up with Compression of 9.2-9.5 to 1 and its a BEAR to make any power on pump 91.... Get custom pistons in the 8 to 1 range or at a min get the thicker Gaskets. Clark |

Really?! That's good to know, I was think of doing that. Any problems with jdm heads on a 2.5? Like spec c v8?

Yes.
US STI heads are around 57cc combustion chambers, EJ205's are around 52cc, V7 and V8's are a tiny 48-49.... You really need to lower the compression with pistons or with Gaskets at least. If not you will be limited on the boost you can run. This makes a huge difference on a GT35R that does not want to be at 14 psi... C |

token you're in the same position I was. Full motor swaps in mighty quick. We started at noon and could have been running by midnight, had the clip on the throwout bearing not wanted to pw3n me. Maybe clark can comment on the tolerances of hte build, but this motor is quiet. it makes a 2.5 hybrid sound wretched by comparison.

As lovely as a Ej207 sounds in all its glory, when it is time for me to swap blocks I have to lean more towards the 2.5L. Around where I live and the way I drive, I don't quite think I could take full advantage of a 8500 + rev limiter as much as I could with the extra torque of .5L.
To utilize a range that high on the EJ207, you would also need a bigger turbo which will keep pushing the power curve further to the right the bigger you go. I'm sure these motors sing from 4k on up but while I am not trying to get my gihugenormous turbo spooled and watch my fuel gauge plummet, I would like to feel some down low torque. |

I compete against a bunch of 2.5l STi's in HPDE/TT events. I've noticed that the additional torque of the 2.5's is really an advantage for them coming off of a corner. I can pretty much match them as far as power down the straight. Hoping that the 18g will help equalize that a bit once I can find someone to tune it for me. (V7 shortblock, V8 Spec-C heads, VF22 currently)

The Port size of the STI and the EJ205 is about the same. But the Combustion chamber is much smaller on the 205 heads. If you likeTrq the 2.5 is the only way to go. Its 25% larger and has a much higher power potential. But it has its disadvantages. It drinks ALOT more fuel. It took 5-6 miles to gallon right of my car the minute I put it in. They dont like to rev out, they sound harsh doing so.
To me... A V8 EJ207 with Twin scroll and a JDM 6mt is just Heaven. The sound, feel and power band matches the car. Clark |

Lastly would I see more advantages running an UTEC with stock 02 ECU (no AVCS) or stepping up to a Hydra and running the AVCS. This currently powers a 18g 8cm but will be a Red 8cm soon. |

Your JDM V7 heads are small combustion chamber heads. Your Compression ratio is high. Not so big a deal on race fuel or 93-94 octane. But hell to pay on 91.
I think you should Run a V7 ECU that is made for that engine with a Utec. The Hydra for your car simply blindly pulses the AVCS solenoids and does not offer closed loop AVCS cam control. It works but its not ideal. You Def want to run AVCS however.. If not you will loose a Great amount of power. Clark |

EJ207 ftw.
only real downside is the loss of OBD-II (which is required for inspections in most states AFAIK). |

Very true.. The Test machines look for Fails or pending... If they are not there you pass. The Difference in US to JDM ECu is the simple fact that there are more tests in the US ECU. I have not had anyone Fail over a JDM ECU. As long as its code free.

clark 205 heads with 2.5 is no good? even with the thicker 00 RS headgaskets puttting it into the 8:7:1 ratio?

As I stated before. You need to use pistons with higher Combustion chamber volume or a thicker headgasket. The RS gaskets are not enough in my opinion. It sure is better then the STI gaskets however..

JDM motors run clean. If you keep a Cat your fine.
I have never been in or tuned a 2.5 that was as smooth or as fun to drive as a V7 or V8 EJ207. That includes: Crawford, Axis DPR Cosworth GuppeS STI The 2.5 is just not a smooth motor. Its not the balancing. Its the Bore to stroke ratio. Its so oversquare its "chuggy". Clark |
