the boring but meticulous 2.7i

So if you had both, would you choose this over a stock B25?

Never actually driven a B25, but considering it didn't lose any torque, and it's fun with a 2.93, I would say yes, I would choose it over a B25. Just conjecture though.

Honestly i would. With a correctly sized rear end. ~3.5ish it would be great. 2.93 is luggy but you get the great tq down low.

It isnt as rev happy as a 2.5 but its pretty comparable.

and then its a perfect setup for a turbo

kind of wish i would have kept my 2.7 block instead of going full 2.5.

is that a 2.5 or 2.7? 3.25? Sounds nice

2.7i, 2.93 diff, Turbo manifold with 2.5" exhaust.

Nice.

Have this same set up in my 2002. Before that it was in my stripped 87 eta coupe. Thing was ballsy, although the car was light.

I love my 2.7i - if you can piece it all together relatively cheap and get the headwork done and throw a new clutch in, it's really not a bad set up. Like I said, it makes much more sense if you have access to the swap parts ON THE CHEAP!

your coolant gauge is halfway

[euro2fast4u]

your coolant gauge is halfway between cold and halfway

that gauge is bs. I read my temp on my phone via bluetooth from megasquirt.

Sounds good! It makes me miss hearing my old M20

Trying out a different look. Stripped paint from the valve cover, polished lettering with 400-600-1200 grit and polishing paste.

Also cleaned up the brake booster plumbing with some NPT fittings and JB-Weld.

Ohio => California => Vermont => Pennsylvania => Ohio this summer, still going strong!

So you ran flat pistons? Did you use the stock bottom end of the 2.7? Looks super clean! I am planning to do this to my car sometime in the future too =)
