    Burning some oil is fine, I expected that, but I surprised how much I burned in such a short time. Owning a nicely maintained m20, and selling and coming to this disaster, I just want to know of a nice budget m20 build that would match/beat my previous m20. Being down on power, plus all other factors included; I'm not really happy with the state my current engine is in. If I was just burning oil, fine, no biggie, but losing power daily and having horrible starts/dying on take off/idle, this m20 is soon n it's last legs

    Just looking to get some more details on what exactly a 2.7i build is. There's so many options and so much information on it, that I'm getting lost in everything.

    From what I gather, it's:
    2.5i head/intake (head, valves, intake mani, etc)
    2.7i bottom end (crank, pistons, etc)

    Obviously, there's more to it than that, but I just want the basics before I go into what CPS I need, A/C stuff, etc.

    This is all assumptions as I'm finding it hard to find definitive answers

      Mine averaged a quart every thousand miles, but when hooning it was much worse. 1qt/35mi worse.

      Bmw stated 1qt every 400mi was when things should be looked at/fixed.

        Even so; my current m20 is indeed tired and I am very interested in the idea of building a 2.7i Stroker for the heck of it to replace the m20 I have currently. I don't think I can handle the dread of romping it hard just to keep up with traffic when my last m20 accelerated through traffic like a breeze.

        I've had other e30 people tell me they were surprised at how much they had to "push" the accelerator pedal just to get up to 15mph.

        I feel like I'm driving an m42/ have a 2.93 LSD because the power isn't there and I have "really long gears".

                          Why did you sell your car Josh? did you pick up another E30?

                          shit, it must be the finals week crunch.

                            I saw a nice red (not sure exactly what color red it was) E30 Convertible in the media paddock at Sears Point today for the Historic races. Anyone here? It looked pretty clean, but I didn't look closely.

                            I got some good stuff at the races this weekend, I caught a Triumph Spitfire with 4 wheels in the dirt 50 feet in front of me (I was behind a K wall with a fence.) It looks like its an impressive shot on the camera, but its going to be a few days before I can download it an process it in Lightroom. I've already got 300+ photos in lightroom waiting for me to process them. I'll post the highlights when I get through them all.

                                Just finished modifying my e-brake handle to accept a lock on Oury MTB grip. I think it looks pretty good.
