Skip the first paragraph if you do not care for the backstory.
Okay, so I'm going to start this off by stating that I know 400-500hp is ALOT of power for an E30. these are my goals though, budget isn't really an issue. I sold my 2017 mustang gt (spent over 20k modding it) in order to build the e30 of my dreams (girlfriend said I couldn't have two project cars... which is fair) and it had around 560whp, I know the E30 is a lot lighter but that's exactly why I want 400-500hp, I want this to be the fastest car ill ever build, as I'm sure this is going to be my last build ill ever do since I'm beginning to settle down and really gear up for my future. the turbo kit I'm looking at is the KAMOTORS HIGH HP KIT. I have already worked through my options for the AWD system and did my research on how to make it able to handle the power. the thing I cant find however is building the M20 for High Horsepower. I'm new to doing any internal work at all on any engine, the most I've done was intake manifolds, exhausts, injectors, spark plugs, headers, that sort of stuff. so the more information and parts ill need the better. I thought about ordering a pre-built M20 online but thought it would be a lot cheaper and more fun to do this all myself. One more thing i forgot to state that could be important is that this car will be my weekend cruiser/ track car about 3-6 times a year(I have to travel 10 hours for the nearest track).
If you skipped: GOAL HP: 400-500. MODEL: M20B25(88 325ix). BOOST RANGE:17-23PSI. WANTS: A rundown on parts I should get in order to build the engine STRONG and any tips for doing it myself.
the reason I'm trying to get 400-500hp out of the M20 rather than engine swapping is that I'd LIKE to keep the AWD system of the IX. The engine has around 200,000kms on it, the timing belt, intake gaskets, water pump, and oil pump have all been done recently. If I have to do them again or upgrade I don't mind, just be straight with me exactly what ill need to make this work properly. injectors, upgraded oil pump gears, better cooling system, don't be shy tell me exactly what I should be doing. I look forward to all the advice I receive. Have a wonderful day.
