All turbo m20 guys know that m20's love timing. Which is why u dont see too many 885 heads in turbo car shaved too much cause you wouldn't be able to add enough timing to get some good power.
Wheels are 16x8 et20 front and 16x9 rear et 15. U need a 5mm up front to clear the caliper at least with these wheels.

hey beefjurky,
just wondering....is this a daily driver? I've been following your thread for a couple yrs now...impressively solid build. thinking about mimicking your setup somewhat.
do you do your own tuning? are you using Megasquirt? I've moved over to VA from seattle, noticed you mention you have a shop? i'd love to come check it out someday!
my e30 is getting it's motor rebuilt for the 3rd time in 2 months! got a shitty rebuilt motor from a forum member and has been nothing but headaches. but i'm basically ending up with a stock rebuilt motor with ARP headstuds and MLS head gasket. hoping to get 400hp as a daily driver if that's doable without reliability issues.1988 325is 237k

I don't do any tuning...my car was tuned at Evans tuning in pa he does amazing work and my car has never felt better nor so reliable after his tune session. I highly recommend him for any type of tuning needed. I'm running Vems for management...I do like it but I don't love it. Their are way better management systems out there but all depends on how much you want to spend. My next step will be a haltech.
Your more then welcome to stop by the shop VA is pretty far from me though lol. 400 on a stock m20 is doable just remember that headgaskets are the killer of turbo m20's. I can't say that mls is bad because (Bobross) is using one with really good success. I run orings and stock OEM headgasket.

Glad to see you using VEMS too :)

You think it could be closer or that's about a good et?

I'm just trying to figure out what's the best combo for the biggest tire.
It's hard to get info from people.
