    Need your opinion

    I am finally starting the [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]engine [COLOR=blue ! important]rebuild[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] on my 325. I have a 2.7 super eta engine and I have a 2.5 engine out of the 325i. I have an extra head that I bought for the 2.7 off of a 2.5 to do the swap and I have all of the other stuff from a 325i for the complete "2.7i" swap. I wanted to know, which would be better, or what would you do? Rebuild the 2.5 or do the 2.7i swap and rebuild that? Either way, it is also getting stainless steel headers, [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]stainless [COLOR=blue ! important]steel [/COLOR][COLOR=blue ! important]exhaust[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], and a 4.10 lsd on it. this is a 5 speed too if anyone wants to know. I am thinking 2.7i but I really would like the input of you guys. Most of you know better then I do. Thanks

        Well if it is gonna be a dd, it is going to be only in the summer. I just got it repainted and redone. I spent alot of money to restore it and I am almost done. So I won't drive it in the winter. I want to know, what is the best choice for power?

            Sell all your extra parts and turbo your M20. +100 wheel horsepower is where it's at.


            Turbo M20, MSnS, 38lb, 3" no cat, RPI 12.2", ATS DTC, 240whp/240wtq, Lmnop. www.DonsGarage.net

                s52 yeah I wish. So if I do turbo it, 2.7i then? I think that if done right it would have more hp then the 2.5 and I am also thinking about getting a 284 cam for it. What do you think?
