Am I doing the right thing?

i need the i and pistons

my car is already stripped because we were going to replace the headgaskets since it was overheating and we resurfaced the head, so iwas like...wow im down to this might as well put more power to it you know ? someone detail me to this.... www.strictlyeta.net has a parts list i need and marked the mandatory ones that seems a lot ?i mean so many parts thought was just basically the top head and pistons and drop it back on of course with the intake manifold... help?

What car do you have if you do an I head swap you need all the I sensors and wiring and all. His parts list is what you need basically.

thanks for the links :P
im gonna start making my own price list according to Fred's list and what i think im going to replace and all the other stuff i need for the conversion

Edit:
i just sumed all the stuff and it came to be about 1800 with out machine work or pistons :? but im pretty sure i can get some of the stuff for cheaper

back to the clutch thing...

i have an 87 eta block, flywheel and tranny that I'll be using. I bought a clutch for a 325i. so should i trade in my i clutch and get an "e" clutch, or can I buy an i flywheel and use that and the i clutch with the 87 eta block and tranny?

There's no real reason to spend more money and purchase the "i" flywheel too.
If you just return your 325i clutch and get one for an eta, it will cost you no money, plus it will most likely work better in conjunction with your other parts.

I would get a sachs sport clutch for the eta, since you will be making more power.

i heard that the i flywheel was lighter. also, what do the sach's clutch's go for? where offers them?

[DaN]

Ooh, Bav Auto wants $279 just for the sachs sport pressure plate,alot of the discs are rigid hubs, you don't really want that. It seems you will also need the $40 sach sport throw out bearing. The disc without the rigid hub is $249. :shock:

I'm sure there are better prices to be found with this and other upgraded clutch sets.

so it would be most cost/performance efficient to return my 325i clutch, and get a sachs 325e?
