In need of M20 Stroker info

[Jacksontheogre]

Hey guys I have a 87' 325e. I am interested in swapping on a "I" headed and building the motor to handle a turbo kit. Does anyone have any insight as to what all in the motor needs to be built up? I'm basically looking for a complete parts list so I can't start shopping and building. Thanks for the Help guys!

it's not a stroker if you toss an "i" head on an eta bottom end.

What is it called then?

Once you done with the 885i head, then you need:

Engine:

O-Ring the block
ARP head studs
Stock head gasket
Pistons shaving
Optional: head porting

Turbo stuff:

Turbocharger
Turbo manifold
WG
BOV
Exhaust / piping / IC
Injectors
FPR
Chip / Megasquirt ems
Fuel pump

Strong clutch

Other small parts...

and off course you can't get all of those in one place, you have to build it yourself..

Just the info I was looking for!
Should i build up the internals?

not worth building the bottom end in my opinion with the proper setup and tune the stock bottom end if its still in good shape is good up to 400-450whp and any more than that and you will will have to start upgrading axles and other shit. a 400whp e30 is a damn fast car, heck 300whp is fast

2.7i swap

^ Agreed, just O-ringing the block

and +300whp in an e30 is pretty fast

Good luck,
