Pure, unadulterated m20

[xLibelle]

this thing looked so clean :eeek: i just had to share.
there is a little missing from the bay... other than the coilpack that will get the tires smokin'
it might have something to do with the location of the dip-stick :twisted:

repainted engine bays are my sexual fetish. No insulation? You should get that intake mani all pretty. very nice so far though.

[xLibelle]

i hope to replace the intake with ... uhh. i'll tell you later.
its got eta injecors in it atm to get it running first.
insulation... on a race car?

[rede30]

those are the cleanest looking stock exhaust manifolds i have ever seen,are they new? why not go for some headers? maby thats part of your master plan, what else is your plan for this car? And again very clean.

[niqnak]

budget is the master plan here. i bought a ratted out piece of shit for $200... i would love to get my hands on the PO's. anyway, i spent the last 6 months cleaning every part and building it up. it was an eta and found an i head in the yard. the low compression has a hard on for some boost. when i get things together a little more, i will share again.

MSnS+EDIS-6

my temporary setup:

[bimmer8604]

dang, looks good. i just dont see much reason in dumping all this high tech stuff/money on an m20. seems like it would work out better and be cheaper in the long run to do s5X and modify from there. But i like the old schoolness of the m20 fosho.

That's a cool setup man. I'm super jealous.

[xLibelle]

well, i know this engine might not be in this car for too long, as i would like to drop something more reliable with a better top end (rpm).
but this was done out of sheer budget. what you see, i spent no more than a few hundred dollars. the mega squirt is ~200 while the EDIS setup is ~40. the head and intake total was ~80 while the new gaskets the same.
i love the fact its got that old school-ness, like you said, but its the easiest to toy with as a budget racer (no, i didnt say budget beater) and learn engine management and tuning on.

any other engine, id still use this management system. i want to see if i could get an m54 running well on MegaSquirt

Just don't use the VANOS, should not be too hard.
