You don't need to change the box. Good idea to change the clutch though.

Don't "need" to change either but all depends what's going in with it

2.5 is likely to have too much torque for a 5 speed in the long run. It'll fit I had mine on a 5 speed for a bit.

I'd do a 2.1 or 2.35
2.5 is not a track engine I d want again |

2.35 is the way forward best of both worlds

My view is 2.5 for road, 2.1 or 2.35 (if you have deeper pockets for track)
My 2.5 is great on the road but on track it's too fragile and doesn't like to be revved that hard. Getting a 2.5 pinned or closed would increase safety margin but the engine would still be about low down torque not really a track setup.

ej22 with a 2.5 crank (needs a rear thrust conversion to fit) with forged rods and pistons will give you the holy grail of impreza engine the 2.35. If I had my time again I'd wait on my rebuild and do the above, C.J did the same having a very good strong 2.5 he still switched to a 2.35 because of the reliability/safety.
