[bgbmxer]

so im puting a 89 2.5 turbo motor in my 86 s/c with a 520 trans just wondering if anyone put a 2.5 in one of the lighter cars and liked it or did it not rev enough for your liking

yes but this is way better than the 525 and if i ever come across a 555 in the boneyard its mine and with the light car it should last awhile but im hard on gears i do know that

im going to have the head and manifolds ported and a bigger turbo and im hoping it will turn the same around the same as a 2.2 if im lucky gonna have some traction issues but thats a good issue

Do it. I have a stock 2.5 in my car with a glhs IC/radiator combo and a 2.5" exhaust running 15 psi. I drove it for a week then my dad blew it up. lol. But it had tons of torque and was fun as hell! For a DD the 2.5 is awesome. Now Im about a week from getting it goin again and cant wait!!!

at what rpm did it fall on its face though and im using a 240sx fmic on mine painted black so it will be hidden nicely should help in the higher boost 2. and how did it blow up

[1984Rampage]

Well, the tach didnt work and I didnt really get on it too hard but it felt good. It blew up because we decided to take it for a spin unintercooled because we didnt have any intercooler pipes and my dad mashed the throttle at 15psi from the mitsu and broke a ring land on the number 4 piston.

im hoping that i can get around the same revs as the 2.2 with the top end mods

I dont see why not. Im planning a ported head, bigger cam, ported exhaust manifold, custom intake manifold and a super 60 turbo for the summer and Im hoping it will rev fairly well. I hear a custom intake helps the engine breathe better but Im not sure.

anything over the stocker will help and im getting the stock manifolds ported told they would support near the 400 hp range bigger valves and ported head and i want a t3 t4 hybrid.

I would go with the 2 piece if your gettting your head ported. The one-piece intake is really a POS and wont flow as good as your head.
