What do you mean by forging? Either that's a production process for metal parts, or faking stuff.

Neither are something that you can do to your engine!

I'm assuming that you want to tune it in some way, in which case you are going to need a lot of money.

If you want more power drop a V8 in, the V6 is not far off its performance limit.

TBH, why bother, you cant get much more power out of them and they dont like being Turbo'd or  Blown. if your after a tad more power from your 2.5, cheapest way is to fit 3.0 Cams.

Your block is same with 3.0 you can re-bore the cylinders to 3.0 diameter and use c20let pistons..


in any case you will face cooling and bottom end problems (assuming you will try forced induction)  which will multiply the bill ..  can be done but costly..

and if your 2.5 is not manual autobox will thrash your work :-\

also 3.0 cams will help as said..
