Which is better for me? hehe

Hey guys, Well My 2.7E took a dump on my a while back while turbo...Darn oil pump to say the least. I am looking for options now. I know of the 2.7 stroker on a budget (E block with SETA pistons, I head, And complete I wiring harness). < Doesn't this yield better for FI? Or was it N/A

So with that being said....I loved the tq curve of the car when it was turbo. But N/A curve seems so much more consistent for drifting. Which one do you guys recommend....Okay. Sorry if that was a bit too complicated. :-)
I mean should I go with the E pistons and I head or SETA and I head.

PS: Which wire harness for the I are you guys talking about....interior to ECU or Engine bay to ecu...Or both?

Sorry for the quest for knowlege...But it seems that me reading searched post is leading to a big headace and confusing.

Oh yeah one more note.....I went to the local yard...Found a plastic bumper 325 dont know if it was I or note...Was missing head hehe...Not me I wish..But piston still intact. Should I pull these?

And this sounds expensive....


budget 2.7??

One ETA engine, remove head and trow away.
buy 732(E30 320i/323i) head from europe with cam and valves and springs
replace headgasket, headbolts, timing belt and tensioner.
replace engine management with M20B25 M1.3 setup or of you choice.

compression will be the same as before and give about 170HP.
