That nut can be a pain to remove. Found a thin and deep enough socket at ACE hardware.

in case i do need a new motor what should i do guys another m20? How hard is it to turbo these..... Will it hold up or do i have to get pistons and bottom stuff also?


And a M30 in a e30?

update:
Found a guy in San Mateo.. really knowledgeable and very reasonable on the price. Quoted me 400$ to resurface the head and transfer the stock cam with a bigger cam (288 schrick) Also got some "Bavauto" headers being made right now. Going to take off the head this weekend, as well as the intake manifold, change all the gaskets, and hopefully in the next couple weeks ill have enough funds to have it all done. wish me luck.

if you're asking how hard it is to turbo an m20, you should read a lot more :)

the stock bottom end will hold together under low boost pretty ok. Of course, forged stuff will be nicer, but it's priced pretty high, and easy to get into a while-you're-in-there.

M30 is a much more practical low cost power option. There are several motor mount manufacturers out there right now, and that's really the only hard part. Get a B35!

Dude buy mine for $50 and build it up. It's already pulled and is honestly a great starting place for an engine.

Yeah man PM and ill talk to you about it. It's only a short block but it ran until it was pulled for a swap (from an e36) and the cylinder walls looks fine.

Did a run through Redwood Road today in Oakland/Castro Valley, super nice. Except a few oilpan smashing dips but for the most part the road is nice.
