More hp

[Roysneon]

you'll do anything for a good blow.


Also OP
if you are on a budget. get a chip for your car. that's about the best mod you can hope for. dont do anything else.
you can get about 10hp from a chip.
to get 10 more you have to spend 1000
and every 10 more plan on spending 1500

the m20 makes a great sound, but you cant afford to get 200hp out of it. so leave it alone.

Real talk.

Get a chip, an exhaust if you want it to be loud, and start saving for a 24 valve engine of some sort.

op im in the same boat right now. i have decided the cheapest way would be turboing the m20. well documented and you can do it for relatively "cheap".

Thanks everyone... my budgets around 2k at the moment.. just wanted to get some ideas on some things I can do taking the right ways.. keep going if you got some more...

Yes, I was looking more into swaping the engine but what are the things I have to get or do to fit that engine in there... or it goes right on?

Chip, KA intake, exhaust? I know nothing of M20. Try some cliche stickers on the back window at a very specific angle.


But seriously, that car looks dope.

The general consensus is that intakes and exhaust modifications on M20s give negligible, if any, gains without a reworked head. That being said, on the butt dyno a nice exhaust setup can put a bigger smile on your face.

LSx swap? I know its sacrilegious around here to go outside of the bmw line but honestly it is a good option.

As already posted, go with a chip and make sure it's tuned well. Your car looks great, don't get all loopy over hp.

with just a chip, prem gas, and a rainy day, you can have hella fun hooning in your e30. Far more fun (READ: dangerous, where you could harm yourself and/or your ride) than expensive mods.

The adrenaline rush of getting out of potentially bad situations is more than enough to make up for speed.

the purpose for more hp is to go faster right? so take a shit load of weight out the thing end result=same but heavier wallet
