Rebuilt head, MLS, ARP studs etc
In 2014 I am boring out a spare b27 block for a 3.0 turbo build. Changing out the 288 cam for a proper turbo cam. Big plans to come, I just want a beast m20.
Just takes money, I am going with Metric Mechanic pistons/rings, rods.
Already called them last week and talked the whole thing out. Will cost about 3,200ish for the mentioned, then I need a s50 crank, bearings, machine work, new MLS etc. All new rebuild.
I don't want to turn this into a huge 3.0 thread, I am going to turbo the stock bottom end and enjoy it for this coming year.Last edited by F34R; 10-26-2012, 07:58 PM.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

I already have the 524t manifold adapters from MMP. Trying to locate a manifold right now.
I have the time, so I am making something to replace the stock junk ones. They will also work great with the port work. I am going to do it, won't take long and will be worth it in the long run.Last edited by F34R; 10-26-2012, 08:09 PM.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

How is the Z3 1.9 rack without power steering? I have to stock E30 rack without p/s right now and I definitely like it more than with p/s. I was planning on going with a rebuilt z3 1.9 rack and refurbing my p/s so it works properly. Thoughts?

Without the P/S it allows more control, or maybe just for me. I also AutoX on this with zero issues at low speed pin turns.
In short I LOVE IT.

Jack up the car, remove the tie rods from the spindle base. Remove the steering knuckle, PS lines and unbolt it from the subframe. Then bend down the bottom tabs and lower it out. That simple
Originally posted by Nsquared97 View PostThis is very relevant to my interests... Just because I'm lazy and don't feel like searching, what tires are your running? Curious because I run 225 R-comps for autoX, and there is definitely a noticeable difference in steering effort compared to my street tires.
My tires are 215/45/17 and 235/40/17 BFG G-Sport. So far the tires perform beyond my exceptions. They are a dream in the summer and hold their own in the rain. I was placing faster times than everyone else on them in my last event when it was raining.
I WILL be buying another set when these ones are done.
UPDATE
The weather was insanely nice today(60s), so I tore the head out and have the b27i almost completed. While I was about to bolt up the intake I noticed that I did not have new gaskets for it. So I am seeing if the local part place has some in stock. If not I have to wait for BTech to ship me some.
Other than that I have only installed a Schroth harness.
