Turbo M20 Build

[The Humjet]

Nice nice, the low deck height is gonna give nice squish. Nothing better than a freshly rebuilt motor. I have been following this thread for a long time. Will you just get it done already!! :D

That looks exactly like my block right now. Waiting on the machine shop to finish my rods and head. Then we'll be in business! I can't wait to see where you take this thing.

I'm mentally piecing together a turbo for my M20 that I'm putting together now and when I finish my second M20 that will have a lot of work done to it, we will be talking about quite bit more boost. Right now I just want like 240whp. That's not too much to ask, is it? :D

240hp is more than do able on a stock m20 without a doubt.

Yea I'm trying to get it done ASAP...with planning a wedding that's in 7 months funds become super tight...especially when I ran into the issue with the reluctor ring which set me back in time and money.

I should have the motor together within the week or so and all that's really needed to get her going is the turbo,pcv system,brakes all around and a nice tune at maximum psi. So planning on having it done soon cause I'm defenetly driving this to my wedding.

Well congratulations. I think the missus is gonna be over the moon riding in this to her wedding just as much as you will. Who wouldn't want to cruise in an e30 to their wedding.

lookin good man. love the progress pics.

expect those plug wires to be abused by heat.
after 3 sets i decided to use some dei plug wrap which seems to be working wonderfully.

Thanks Greg...I'm going to route them a diggerant way and see how that works. If I got to buy the dei wraps I will.

How's the car feeling at 400hp is it a beast? I'm hoping to get up and running for break in on sat if everything goes as planned.
