Highvoltage0720 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 My 05 2.5i just threw a rod and its time to put in a new motor. I was just wondering what motors would fit. It would be awesome if I could put a 2.5GT or a 3.0 motor in if they fit. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 They could both fit with the EZ30R being an easier fit than the EJ255 for your platform. You would have to upgrade the fueling system for both and your clutch and if you go turbo you'll need a bit more tweaking to accommodate that layout.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted March 6, 2011 I Donated Share Posted March 6, 2011 All of the above would fit. Without the rest of the parts you'd need, none of them would start up and run. It's going to be a lot easier and cheaper to swap in an EJ253, sell the car, and buy what you actually want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 just out of curiousity, how many miles did your 2.5i have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highvoltage0720 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 It had roughly 107k miles. I don't know the cause of the thrown rod as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
