    FS: 2.9l m20 built turbo stroker motor

    FS: Built stroker m20 motor
    -2.7l eta block, bored to 84.5mm, then final bore and honing done after pistons were received for the tightest fitment. Hotanked.
    -New OEM rod and main bearings
    -s50 crank and rods
    -JE forged pistons with heavy duty wrist pins 8.5:1 CR, 84.5mm bore, new JE rings.
    -"885" rebuilt head by Spokane cylinder head service, resurfaced to RA50
    -MLS .140 HG
    -rotating assembly balanced and blueprinted


    With a bore of 84.5 and stroke of 86mm final displacement is 2.9L(2.897) with a final CR of 8.5:1.

    All parts inspected and machined by O'Neil's custom engines in spokane. Meant to handle 400+whp. s50 rods weigh 555g which is about 150g lighter than a stock eta rod, and in the range of most aftermarket H-beam rods. Gotta love the engineers at BMW.

    I spent A LOT of time researching to build this stroker turbo motor. Many talks with Steve at TopEnd Racing and the e30tech gurus. I've invested about $3.5k in parts and machining alone.

    I'll let it go for $2500. Hasn't been assembled yet, but will be co-assembled by JJ(ASNW autocrossers will know him) and myself. Pics to come soon. I am not opposed to parting it out. The only thing it's missing right now are its ARP headstuds which are on the old motor and have only been torqued down once and are fine to re-use.

      Thanks man! I've got a potential buyer in Australia but I'm not sure if it's worth it to ship it that far, it isn't going to be cheap!
      Here's one update of the pistons and the s50 crank, I'll have WAY better next week, everything is at my good buddies house and I haven't even seen anything since it's gotten back from the machine shop!


      Well you've seen me on my native forum nwbmwclub.com but I had a modded e36 m3 that I tracked before I had the turbo e30. I really liked the e30 but it just didn't feel like the e36 did to me so I traded back, i'm completely stripping the e36 and then im going to piece together my own SC kit with a TRM remote tune.
      Here's my e36:


      P.S. Whens the next drift event? I would love to come out and learn a few things!
