To swap or to turbo?

[agent]

Built m20 means all the cool gadgets and features that came on the car (OBC and Check Panel) will run like clockwork after the build (minus bigger injectors, but there are ways around that)

A swap would require extra steps of a few of those features to function normally.

Do you just make this stuff up as you go?

Not entirely true.

If those features mean something to you, then yes, keeping it OEM+ is worth it

Uh. You realize the reason you need to adjust the OBC for a swap is the same as changing to bigger injectors? And the check panel has little to do with a swap.

BOoost it !!! Trust me !! nothing like it. If i were you i would take the time to drive a turbo e30 and then make your decision.

Turbos suck
S54 is heavy

Built m20 has my money. Something about the sheer simplicity of the m20 platform just hits all the right buttons. You won't hit 300whp, but there are

Rob's NA 2.8 M20 makes 260rwkw.

[rturbo 930]

^That's an all out race engine.

Anyone have links?

Rturbo 930 is right, though. It's an all out race motor that probably cost more than the average S54 swap.

kamotors ride is basically stock with a turbo and pushes 400hp....need i say more.
