I need some BMW engine skooling, help me out

[Vtec?lol]

I've owned every motor offered in an e30 cept the s14. The eta is smoother, quieter, and pulls harder than the m42. The best has to be the m20i. Period.
I can't lie and say the m42 wasn't fun though.

and for the record, the m20b20/23 revs faster than the m42.

Shit son, that's a big block A series in your bugeye ! You should drive a stock one with a 948 in it if you want torqueless. That being said, are you sure you didn't mean 1275 or 1293? Those are stock and .020 over CC numbers.

1275 is probably right... i knew it was 127x lol

This thread is fucking stupid. Lots of uneducated statements of just hear-say. OP you want to learn about your engine? hang out in the appropriate subforum. Everyone else who wants to compare how big their opinionated "THISENGINEISTHEBEST" dick, grow up.

NAH BRO M20'S SUCK YOU SHOULD JUST GO TWIN TURBO LS7 SWAP. I MEAN.. IT'S WHAT I WOULD DO!

OP welcome to r3v, enjoy your stay.


Oh and in case you hadn't noticed, yes, there are a lot of dumb people on this forum.

[TexasTerp]

The only "i" and M combination I can think of is an m42 with an s14 head. I don't know enough about those engines to say that it's what you have, how many people actually do it, etc.

In for Pics

Seconded!

[McGyver]

where are said pictures?

[tbruz]

This is the motor haha, ignore the shitty cai, kamotors kit is on the way

[LJ851]

M20 with i intake, etc. I can't see your stroke from that angle.

The M part is the oil filler cap.

[tbruz]

Baha yea the m oil cap that I see on every e30 damn near haha

[rares]

yup, sorry OP but that is not an M head.. oil cap is M though, that is cool.

M20 I head and block.. that is a good combo to have, keep it lubed and taken care of and that engine will last you a long long time.

or if you want to turbo it, i have seen people on this forum pull 300-400 horses on the very engine you have there...

your call,

I would keep it, clean it and drive it

fun car, congrats, good luck and be safe

[10Toes]

Wrong pics, we ment pics of the girl you got the car from.

[tbruz]

Lol she wasn't much to look at and that's for sure, but it's all good I honestly wasn't believing the whole m head thing anyways. But it is fun and seems pretty solid..does have a few leaks that I need to make time to fix but besides that it's always started and doesn't over heat haha
