    M20 or M52

    Hi,

    I currently have one of the worst combos seen in e30s - M40 + Autotragic 3 speed. I know the easiest option is to sell and buy another car, but mine is perfect and I've already finished the interior, and started suspension (all bushings refresh).
    I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to go M20B25 + ITB or M52? Either swap I'll be going 5 speed route.
    What would I be looking at powerwise from an M20 + ITB combo and maybe some other work - stroker kit, etc..?
    Would I better off just going M52?

    Cheers,
    Crayon.

      Thanks for the other link, I'll take a look now :D

      As for budget, not too sure. It's going to be a slowish build so I'd say $5-6k? I want to do as much work myself.
