E30 Stroker - The why.

[FunkySwerve]

Everything is centered around me passing emissions legally. So as far as I can push it from there.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by me bit meeting my goal with 5k invested(with mostly my own labor)?

You basically said all you want is a bit more torque. A SETA bottom end with an 885 head will do this no worries. That costs a lot less than 5k.

5k can build you a lot higher specced engine but you aren't after that are you? If you are, then go for it. Get a cam, bigger valves, port work, longer rods, custom pistons, ITB's etc etc.

i'd be looking for the OEM part 2.8L stroker with fresh everything, avoid going crazy. with head work, itbs and ecu, tuning you can chew up the budget real quick. a decent size cam is going to make it hard to meet emissions id limit it to 272 cam

5k dont get you much when you add all up

Funky, to be blunt there are a million ways to go as you can see.

If you have the time the IE open house is tomorrow and my M20 engine will be sitting on a stand. If you come up I will try to take the time to talk over the options. Won't put you on the hook for anything, just get you pointed in the right direction.

Nice! Definitely something I will be attending.
And I never expect anything that I didn't earn! Unless it's beer!

why not spend 5k on a turbo build and make 400 horsepower.
