Hello all,
I'm Shoomakan and as you may know, I have an M30 in my E30 Touring.
Since I'm a power freak, I must say I'm getting bored of the power I get from my car, especially since my friend's modded Megane RS overtook me.
So, I went and bought an M106, which is the 3.5 litre version of the 745i.
Now, stock output is 252bhp and 280ft/lb, at 6 psi.
I don't have questions for the swap, but for specific combinations. Like, is my M30b35 head better on the M106 as it has bigger valves and more flow? Also, it lowers the CR, which is always a good thing on turbo'd cars.
Second, what cam should I run? There are 292" M30 turbo cams, and I'm entertaining that idea, but still not sure.
Third, I keep getting mixed answers to my ever popular question, are M106 pistons FORGED OR NOT?!!!?
ANY input is more than welcome, advice or experience.
