Worth working the M20?

[SkiFree]

I love the M20 and would recommend that route based on personal biases, however given your parameters it sounds like a 24v might be better suited for what your looking to do.

Hello ladies and gents,

Just got my 325i a couple months ago and have just finished up all the maintenance work and swapped in the 5 speed.

Now I am on the pursuit of more power. Although over here in Australia, turbo-ing it while I'm still on probationary license gets me into all sorts of trouble that include me having no license.

So, my question is - for the cost of swapping in a 24V motor, could I make better power from doing some work to the M20, or would it be better to get the 24V in order to make better numbers down the track (considering I can't turbo for quite some time)?

Prices will be much larger over here in the land of expensive everything, but all is relative so what do you guys think?

Thanks a lot for the help!
