    Need motor advice for my dd????

    Should i go s52 or nust rebuild my m20 with a cam fueli jectors chip i take headers . Im trying not to go to crazy but have a nice sounding motor with a little getup..

    cam fueli jectors chip i take headers sound a little sketchy to me.

    s52 will get you a real horsepower gain, the bolt on m20 mods will not.

      If you want more than a measly ten HP bump, don't even bother with that 2V POS

      Just kidding M20s rule :D

                Woah woah woah. 12v can be very good engines. s52 is better than the m20 in alot of ways.

                  My m20 is running really good and was just thinking of a head rebuild with a cam headers exhaust and intake with chip.but the sound of the vanes kicking in sounds great

                    It's all personal preference. I've had many E30's with different mods/swaps/etc and these days I love a good and healthy M20 with a few mods. Just because M20's are older doesn't mean 12valves suck!

                    Oh and a turbo M20 will definitely make more power than a S52 if that's what you're after.

                      For numbers...

                      My turbo m20 did 330whp at 13psi

                      I love drifting at the track and people walking over thinking they're gonna see some swap only to see an m20

                        For dd, if you have a stock m20 that is running well, just leave it and enjoy.
