jdm v7 longblock or usdm 2.5 shortblock?
So what a surprise, I want more power. I am considering the idea of a swap. The 2 ideas I have looked into are a jdm v7 long block or a usdm 2.5 shortblock. I know either way I wil have to do some tranny work (gear swap or used sti tranny). I am currently running a vf34 w/ an sti tmic. This is likely to change after the swap. Has anyone performed either of these 2 options and if so what are you putting down. Thanks.

I've decided to go big power, so I'm looking for bigger displacement. 2.5 but going forged.

By the way you describe it I would say USDM 2.5. With the Ver7, you would need a BIG turbo. Even then the toprque will not be anywhere near 2.5 levels. That is what gewt you going not hp. Even with a 2.5 you will want more. I feeel that a 2.5 will keep you satisfied a little longer than the JDM motor. You will always want more. I kinda pick that up. It is common. I personally like spinning the motor. I live at 4k around town. So for me the JDM 2.0 made more sense. I will bet you crave torque not hp. That is where the rush comes from. Get the 2.5 and JDM heads. They are different and appeal differently to different people.
The best thing to do in all honesty, is to set a goalm make a plan, get there and be done. There is always more. If you chase the more you will never be happy. Even if you hit your goal you will not be happy realize that. Just the nature of the drug called excelleration. I have to resist the more every day. You know what they say, hitting your power target is easy, I have done it a dozen times. Go big man, reduce the rework. |
