Add meth and it will be fine on the stock block. The 2.0L motors can take a beating. I have always said it, but all of the 2.0L breakdowns were because people were running really really lean. (11.5-12:1 AFRs). I still say the 2.0L is stronger than a 2.5L. Think about it. What does the 2.5L have over the 2.0L? Displacement. That displacement comes from a bigger piston dish. The ringlands are more prone to cracking on a 2.5. It is simple physics. The bracing (semi closed deck) on the EJ255/7 is not as important as people think. Look at turbo honda open deck motors.

Its too expensive to use a 2.5 STi block on jdm Sti heads b/c of the piston bore, just use the 2.0 ej207, and spin it to 8.5k

Once you have been in a car that has a JDM 2.0L you will want that engine over a 2.5L. I can guarantee it.

Yup. Always liked the 2.0L above the 2.5. If you have ever ridden in a v8 STI, you will know why. We get the crap engine over here (because of USDM emissions mainly).

A JDM 2.0 EJ207 block is much different than the us 2.0 EJ205 block, the two can not be compared. An EJ207 block is just like the USDM EJ257 with a semi closed deck, not a full open like the EJ205.
