Other thing is to consider what Head studs you go with. right grade 11mm ARP's will prob be sufficient unless your planning to go 550+ (whats in mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Not looking for a specific power figure but want the foundation to be solid for whatever so the block will not be a restrictive component, internals can be switched out as appropriate but the aim is rev to an 8.6k redline without falling apart. It will be tracked as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be tracked as well tbh i would seriously consider shelving the 2.5 and going the 2.33 proper closed deck route then. Sounds like its gonna get a pretty hard life so even closed decked the 2,5 still has relatively thin walls on the bores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 For what I need at this point - Daily for the Missus and a few track days, the 2.5 will be fine, retaining the extra torque will be easier to live with. Ill save the EJ22 for the a more focused tool, 700+ capability maybe 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
