Hi guys,
I'm going through the options for a new build, daily driver/track day use, so after a little info please,
I've heard good things about the cdb stroked 2.25/2.35 engines, but not much on the 2.5 cdb using top hat liners, I would prefer the extra capacity for low down torque/ spool up if possible, anyone have any previous experience witrh this type of build?
I already have an EJ20 sti cdb in good condition so would be a shame to waste it,
Cheers

 

no such thing a s a 2,.5 cdb unless its made from a 2.0
we have a 2.5 block strenghend with top hat liners ect and currently run 575 hp with no probs and will be looking for 600+ very soon

 

ive got a 2.0CDB rebored+linered to a 2.5.

Low down torque compared to the 2.0 is immense

if i was to do it again i would go 2.33 i think for more revs but im not complaining at all

 

I've had a 2.0L CDB sleeved to 2.5 with top hat liners. Will cost you circa £1100.

All this crap about 2.5's not revving is just that, crap. With the right components and a big enough turbo the 2.5 Will rev to 8K no problem. There are plenty of builds on here to support that too.

 

Ok guys, thanks, game on then!

 

banny runs built 2.5 cdb 620bhp with loads of torque with a gt35/42rs i think and it drives like mad. might be worth checking out banny thread on scooby gen/ 620bhp flying michine
