simple hidden m20 perfomance?

[acolella76]

Someone told me that the M20 came with a turbo hidden somewhere in the engine bay, but I looked for it and I can't find it. Anyone know where it is????

Also, I advanced the timing by 2 teeth on the cam wheel and now it makes this PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG noise and runs like shit????????????

can anyone help????????

Do a burnout:D.

Yeah there is a switch that says NOZ on your steering wheel to turn it on and your Turbo is a mach 1 it's under your seat,..

Chip tuning an M20 seems like a crapshoot w/o going turbo imho.. Same as M10 and M30. These are SOHC and don't breath for crap.

Looking forward to this.

Yep!

[timninja]

Yeah its imo to but I should've rephrased my title I ment easy,I don't know much about the m20 yet so why not bite the bullet and ask?

Sooo.... over the weekend when I rebuilt my head, I gapped the valves at .010, in the cold (about 5c). Anyway, after I installed the head and got it running, I just went and checked the gapping as I assumed after running a bit the valves/springs would probably seat in a little more....and I was right. I couldnt even get the 0.008 feeler in ANY of the gaps!(cold again, this time almost -5c) Good thing I saw this thread earlier and decided to check!

Seems like dropping a grand on the full Miller setup is the way to go if you got the cash. This is probably what I will eventually do. I like the flexibility and I never plan on going turbo or doing an engineswap so it's worth it. 25/25 gains for Hp and torque isn't bad for 1k.

that is fucking retared.

Would you be so kind as to elaborate somewhat?

[mikeb23ft]

Guess I'm just inexplicably retarded then.

[Killacortes]

1k for 25hp and 25tq is way too much man. 24v swaps could be had for that much if you do the work yourself. A chip can give you those gains for a fraction of the price

[devon.818]

because you could turbo it for less and be reliable, and miller is over priced fucking asshatery

I specifically said I never wanted to turbo it or do a swap but thanks for the input. I am aware that I could make more power for less. If that was what I wanted I would have a camaro, a nitrous bottle, or both. Next time reserve your comments about retardation for situations to which they apply.

The point is that you can chip your car for a whole lot less and get similar gains. The Miller/MAF setup might be worth something if you were going to do the tuning yourself. But if you're not going to then just get a pre-baked TMS chip and call it done for 1/3 the price.

ok so no turbo.
you can refresh your motor; resurface, new rings, bearings, ect for under 800! then take that last few hundred get a good chip and a 4.10lsd and call it a day...
kamotors intake and remove the cat-converter from your exhaust system and done.

a mild cam too

i had a miller MAF and was not impressed! i was more happy about how it tidied up my engine bay than the "performance" i "gained"
