Well to sum it all up, say bye to your drivetrain.

I just wanna know why you would want to put a .25 in a 4tec if anything just put an .18 in it what are you looking for more top speed or bottom end power ?
When i had my 4tec the stock 2.5 was fast enough i changed the gearing for more bottom end lost some top end speed still was hitting speeds of 58mph with the stock gearing you'll get over 60mph.

If i were you drop a OS .18TM in it and you'll just have one hell of a time. Just watch the gearing and have a failsafe and throttle return spring.
