    ditching the turbo YAY!

    After tuning the turbo M20 I bought in December I quickly found that I just don't like turbos. Also, one cylinder was damaged in some way, from what I thought was running without a proper tune. After getting the engine out, it turns out the wrist pin had come out and there was a 3-4mm groove cut into the cylinder wall.

    Anyways, I had already decided to go back to a stroker since I just loved my 3.0L cab in Singapore. I chose the 3.1L kit from IE this time around and decided to do more with the head. This one will get a Schrick 288/288, larger exhaust valves, new & stronger rockers, port was already done in a past rebuild, along w/ a 3 angle.

    Oh ya one more thing I'm adding this time, and it just arrived muahahhahaha..........

















    On top of it all will be an MAF with SMT6 to tune...........can't freakin wait!! The 3.0L was a blast in my cab but this 2dr is soooo much lighter and that cam w/ the MAF & dbilas is just gonna be brilliant. Calvin's setup in KL was much like this one and I always regretted not building the head more & of course not going with the dbilas when he did. I'm so glad to be going back to a stroker M20 :D

    As for the cab, it is about to be de-registered in Singapore and hopefully a pal will break it down and load a container with everything except the body. Once it's all here I'll get a donor cabriolet and transplant everything....can't wait for this either ;)

            Sickness!!!

            NA FTMFW!!!

            Turbos are fun, but you gotta love the high revving power that you get with a strong NA motor! :up:

            ITBS FTW!!! :bow:

            That thing is going to be so much fun...especially the throttle response. :D

                    I bet it will dude. It sucks to see that you werent so pleased with the turbo, but everyone's got their preferences. :)

                    I will most definetly keep my eyes from a thread or two from you on the project forum.

                          OK. let me help you out with some personal experience with these.

                          1- try to figure out some way of supporting the air log, other than the sleeves that link it to the throttle bodies. they do a good job, but when you have to take it off, it is a HUGE pain in the ass to get everything lined up and not have any of the sleeves slip off the air log. there is no nipple or ridge to it so they tend to slide off when you tighten them down. you'll see what i mean when you put them on.

                          2. don't bother with a MAF conversion. i have the T-bird one that BMP sells with the split second ARC2-A piggy back (required to make the MAF conversion work) and well...it is...meh.....ok.
                          i would suggest something like this


                          they have a plug and play harness for the E-30 too!

                          MAP is the way to go less restriction and less B.S. more power

                          3. the throttle cable set up can be a little finicky to set up at first, be patient

                          4. the breather hose that came with mine was too short, and again the no knurling on the airlog side of the hose makes it hard to clamp it down.

                            Chris, just curious why you didn't like a turbo. ?

                            Cheers

                              THAT is how they sent it??!!!!
                              does anything on the peripheral appear damaged???

                              You buy something that costs thousands and they skimped on packing! What in the fuck!
