2.5 crank into V7 207 block


Dre

Recommended Posts

I have a new V7 207 short block.Can I use a 2.5 crank and the 207 pistons with shorter rods?After driving a 2.1 Legacy this is possibly what would work for me as I want to keep my Legacy Vf45 turbo and tmic.

I briefly looked at doing this recently. Longer rods reduce piston side loading, and piston weight. I think generally speaking keeping the longer rod and getting some pistons made to suit is the advised route.

If I have to replace the pistons,there’s probably no point in breaking a fresh 207 short block.Brought this a few years ago to replace a dodgy rebuild in my BH which my son now drives.Piston slap and oil leaks doesn’t seem to p#ss him off.

What’s the end goal again? Seems like a waste of time with a turbo as small as a 45 since it spools up like crazy anyway. The lower comp of the 207 and the extra timing it will allow should leave you more than happy enough to not bother stroking it.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
