250 hp 325is

[skat 325is]

Have you guys also noticed how nice the car goes up hills now.

As other people have mentioned, the car feels pretty stock, but once the boost kicks in...its goodbye for everyone. And as TCD mentioned the motronic is infact the weak link, once you are able to get a nicely tuned standalone system, its all good.

Very important to keep your engine well oiled, and change the oil more often than usual. Avoid pinging or knocking and you'll have a long lasting happy boosted m20. :)

Theres also a nice article at BEN, in the performance section, i think the title is Adventures in Turbocharging...might find it helpful.

Just my 2 cents.

what about an sr20det
thats what a lot of bmr owners are doign with there e30s here in australia

Personally I think that the SR20DET belongs in the 240sx more.

maybe thats cos the engine was made for that car but they still work in the bmrs

I agree with you 100%, I was just trying to show how much it would take keeping it in NA form to try and come close. For the amount of money you would spend and the gains you get, FI is defiantely the way to go with the m20. As we all know, the 2V head is the major limitation for these motors.

its 105 outside so i want to keep my AC so i think the turbo is a best alternative. so do you guy think i should get new pistons and rings. since i have the block out and the tranny how about a light flywheel. the pistons look real new and doesnt seem to be much wear on the engine parts. what can i do to make 8 to 12 of boost reliable.

I say go turbo, fun as hell to drive, nice sound and I'm still using the A/C system, many persons ripped off their A/C systems for space issues, not my story, and all the kits available for the m20 that i know must be deleted the A/C :o
