    Euro m30

    Are euro m30s different or better than regular m30s? I only ask because I ran across one at a salvage yard, wondering if there would be any interest.

    Sorry for the vague question, I don't know anything about m30s

    Euro m30s in general have slightly higher compression, and subsequently have a little more hp.

    There you go, a vague answer :D

        Euro M30s depending on the designation have signifigantly more power.

        M30B34 in US spec has 185hp, in euro spec it has 218hp. This is achieved through higher compression, different cams (264 instead of 260) and different exhaust system.

        The M30B32 in US spec has 184hp, in eurp spec it has 200hp. What car did you find this in? I'll buy the pistons if you get the motor and decide not to use it.
