I have 1991 325i coupe.The car was an automatic 2.5i and Im converting it to a 2.7i manual.
This is my 3rd e30.My first one was a 85 325e, the 2nd was an 89 325i.
Now, I got the crank and rods out of the 85 since I have been interested doing this for a long time.I bought a set of 1988 seta pistons new from Bavarian bmw off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MaxSi...Q5fAccessories
because everyone is swearing at this combo for the best 327i.
My goal is to have a naturally aspirated m20 that is higher hp/tq than the 325i.I have heard that this combo will give about 190hp and more tq too than a 325i, but in other threads that the compression ratio will be less than a 325i.The car also has a catback Remus exhaust and AC Schnitzer long tube headers and 19lb injectors, all new gaskets, seals ,headbolts, oil pump and of course an i head..I will also want to add a 288 schrick cam with harder valve springs in the future.
Please lets not jump into other variations.I need to know this soon cause I dont want to end up with less power than a 325i.
Thank for any input that you are sure of.
