yup. 400 even... (s62 lol).
With an m20b25... don't think so.This is your M20 on steroids:

right... :roll:
I don't remember the exact numbers, but I heard BMP's E30 (when it had a tricked out M20 in it), was only putting out somewhere in the range of 220-250. And that was 11/1 CR with individual throttle bodies.-Brandon

What about if you sourced a Racing Dynamics 24v head? I am thinking that displacemnt has a lot to do with this, that is why usually the higher the liter the more power you can squeeze with out FI.Comment

AFAIK the RD 24v head only exists on paper. I've never known one to exist in real life. So that kinda takes care of that option :PThis is your M20 on steroids:Comment

Well volumetric efficiency is pretty important. Most production engines arent all that efficient. You can make an engine 4 bajillion liters but if you are only getting a liter of clean air and gas in there on each revolution then its not going to do you a damn bit of good.
You might be able to get 300whp out of an M20 but it isnt going to resemble anything you had before and you could have bought an E46 M3 by the time you were done (at least).Im now E30less.

Ooops, should have put M20, with any mods, just has to stay at 10.5...90is, longtube headers/straight pipe/mark d 18# 93 0ctane chip/18# injectors/vogtland springs/bilst. sports

Well, if you can get its VE near 100 and make it turn 10,000rpm its possible, in theory.Im now E30less.

Possible with a bajillion dollars? Yes. Possible with a couple thousand dollars even? No. At least IMO.

No, with the camshaft necessary to pull that kind of power, you're going to need to bring on more compression than that. (Plus you'd be getting very few hours out of it)

its possible, but i doubt it can be done on a 2.9 litre m20. needs moar 4 litre.: : 1984 318i : : PNW E30 Crew : : Sold!!

No. In fact, I would venture to say no where even remotely close. Actually, I don't even think 300 at the crank would be realistic.Originally posted by german gComment

Possible with a turbo and race gas.
