Engine options
Hi guys,
As many of you know I am in need of a new engine, I have a couple of main options available to me either a 2.1 stroker (closed or open deck) or a forged 2.5 (possibly a Cosworth unit).
I will be using my existing 2002 WRX heads and cams (all be it fully refurbished) and adding a high pressure oil pump, new water pump, kevlar cam belt and new OE tensioner. I will also use an uprated head gasket (probably Cosworth) and 11 or 14mm Head studs.
Anybody got any experience of the 2.1 units - talking to Alyn at engine tuner he is (obviously) very much a 2.1 man and was explaining that they deliver the power more closely related to revs with the power/torque in line with revs and not running out of power at higher revs. Now I like revvy engines personally but would also like a healthy amount of torque and clearly less lag than I have now.
Chances are I will be sending my long engine off to a builder and having it reassembled as a refurbished long engine by them before refitting myself so I'll be asking for help/advise on this once I know the route I'm taking and in fact have the car back!
