      Have another windshield ready if you go MS


      My vote goes for MS though, my car runs super smooth and so much better than with motronic. It was headache getting it all working, but it is the greatest thing to happen to the m20... IMHO. Maybe my last car had other issues hurting its driveability.. but megasquirt is great. Driveable, really opens up all sorts of options

      But I reiterate, be prepared to punch another windshield or two while you're figuring it all out.



      And break it in on strock motronic, you don't need to be tuning a table while trying to seat your rings.


      QUESTION: What made you go with the cx racing rods? Are they any good? seem like a hell of a deal for the price

          Looking nice. What bedliner are you using? I used some brush on duplicolor on my chassis seems to hold up nicely. Also see above question about rods

            Thanks a lot :D

            I picked the cxracing rods because they were cheap and I didn't want to dump so much into one part seeing that people push a lot of boost on stock rods, these are forged H-Beam so they got to be better than stock lol

            I paid like 250 or so!

            Pistons are Cast MaxSil pistons from Bavarian, coated with Teflon

              Oh and I used Duplicolor blue can spray, but for the hard placed i sprayed it into a little Tupperware thing, let it sit for a few minutes so it was like 1/4 dry and more thick and i got hard to reach places with a paint brush lol

                        it looks like you're okay spending some dough and doing some good things with the motor work, please spend an extra $200 to get some e30-specific springs on there.

                                LOL, moving is a pain, as soon as the e30 is how i want, im leaving so my managers may get a little mad about me leaving so soon.

                                Now that im goign to have all this money to drop into the car im debating on just building the turbo kit and everything before the motor is in, so first start it will boosted compared to me driving it NA for a bit then boost in about 2 months
