    Metric Mechanic 2.9l m20

    I have a Metric Mechanic 2.9 m20 that I might want to sell. It has around 10k miles on it. I would probably ask about $4k for it and a bit more for the built Metric trans and diff all with about 10k miles.

    Here's the link to the website. It's the 2900 sport engine.

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this. So sorry if it's not. :)

    Also, I do live a short distance form the MM shop and I a pretty good buddies with the guys that run the place. So feel free to hit me up with any questions.

          Yeah, it's still in my car. It's my daily driver. No issues with it at all. I love the fucking tits out of it. But, I want more power. I was thinking about boosting an m52.
          I'll probably get a video on here sometime today.

            5 - 90. I wasn't really pushing it because I was holding an iPad mini in my steering hand... It's really hard to drive while recording with an iPad. ;)

            If you're not satisfied with the videos, just say so and I can probably get better ones.

              Get someone to record and push it! ;)

              What rods did you use with your engine, m20, m52 or s50?

                  Put on a thicker head gasket (0.140), ARP's, Injectors,Megasquirt and boost it!

                    Do you have compression numbers?

                        Why would he do that if he's selling it

                        Glws by the way. Sounds beastly

                            Because he wants to boost an M52=2.8L, he has a 2,823cc M20. Both have 10:1 compression ratio.... well m52=10.2:1

                            If he just wants boost, he just has to lower the compression with a head gasket, which he also has to do with the m52.

                            And he doesnt have to go through the hassle of a swap
