If you were spending 7K on a new NA M20 engine

[eric (^__^)]

If I were spending $7k on a motor, I would like it to be attached to a car.

Unless it was a TODA or something

Well that's nice, but I still havent seen your dyno sheet. Where is it?

hey guys, I'll reply when I get home. I just called Treehouse about their adaptor for the S50...

AKG Motorsports has the same thing for 1/2 the price.

Now, if you're still leaning towards building an M20 with that $7K burning a hole in your pocket, find yourself a lower mileage "i" spec M20B25 motor, rebuild the head, toss in some new gaskets, main seals, etc. then slap on a turbo kit from Turbocharging Dynamics. Stage 1 low boost set up makes 240hp & 240 torques for ~$3,900. Stage 2 has higher boost, output & price. 300hp, 300ft/lb, ~$5,200

However, if it were me, I'd go S50/S52. Plenty of naturally aspirated ponies and no more complex than the good ol' M20.

Unless there a good dyno or multiple sheets to prove the HP, it's all BS.

I'm with ya.

player 6 on the boards here has a 260bph 2.8L m20...

NA?

I'd like to see a dyno sheet and details on the build.

I put in their unit, and the torque improved dramatically, and mine wasnt as bad as most. I should have lost some torque with the cams, but I gained it back in a Dr. Vanos unit. Woohoo

I personally think high output N/A m20s are freaking cool.

Jordan (Stuck) made something around 220-230bhp with his built 2.8L m20, and he only spent around $3k. His car was plenty fast.

I find that hard to believe if it was N/A.

Metric Mechanic accomplishes 240 at the crank with more displacement a 286 cam, 11:1 compression, custom built intake manifold, headwork and turning 7k RPM.

Yeah, I'm sure it is. I've heard various horror stories of VANOS cars with high mileage. I'd be satisfied with the smoothness of the M50 alone.

Why non? Vanos is nice, torque is a good thing.

Guys, he wants to build an M20. The power:cost ratio might suck balls, but its what he wants. I say go for it, so long as I can give it a whirl. HAHA
