How does your AC work with no condenser fan on a hot day? My admittedly oversized intercooler is between the condenser and the radiator because it was impossible to fit under the valence without removing the condenser fan. I don't want to lose AC performance, this old system, with its inefficient tube and fin condenser needs all of the help it can get when running on R134, and I'm just picturing the high side pressures skyrocketing and the evaporator getting warmer at idle until it's barely cooling the air.
I highly doubt it. I have seen a couple of cars making 300whp on stock internals in my searches, and it's my plan to do so as well, but I don't think the M42 can do anything more than that safely. Head studs and reducing compression ratio with a MLS head gasket are necessities. When I get my M20 swap stuff together I'll probably throw as much boost at the M42 as it will take and see what the outcome is, my turbo is capable of at least 350hp.
