I totally want to do an 885 head on my eta:\

Go with a 731 so you don't lose compression. (Unless you have seta pistons)

[HennaE30]

Or boost it ^^

You are better off with a M20B25 or 24v. The wannabe stroker doesn't make good power

I'd rather have a chipped stock eta than some 2.7i garbage...but 24v > all.

Yup to truly get 180hp+ out of an M20 you need to invest 5-8k$ into it.. At that point why keep the M20? Unless you are building it for PRO3 but I don't think you can build a 3.1L M20 stroker in PRO3 lol

5-8k NA maybe, but more like $4k with a massive turbo.

chasing NA power is never easy on the pocketbook

If you are interested in a boosted m20b27 I am putting mine up for sale once it gets a new cylinder head or resurface
