It's not because it's the same as a 2.0 just bored out to be half a liter bigger.
The JDM sti motors came with stronger internals. Have higher revs etc.
They made it a 2.5 originally because the american market likes torque. It's better for daily driving. But downsides is that torque is what kills our motors and transmissions. I dunno where you heard that from but they do not know what they're talking about. Plus the 07+ Engines here have a tendency to crack rings.
