Hey guys,
So i have a m20b20 laying around and an m10b18 in the car currently ( 1993 bmw e30 318i) which lacks any sort of power, and im pretty sure the compression is low as it doesn't like starting ever especially when it's already warm (I'll test this and post results soon)
But i'm wondering if it's worth swapping the m20b20 into it and maybe putting a b25 head on it? Or just leaving the head and putting a small turbo or something on it to make it a little more powerful. I'm not looking for any big hp numbers but around probably 200hp would be pretty sweet.
Also what costs would i be looking at if i decided to do the swap? (Change engine mounts, driveshaft, any custom fabrication etc.)?
Thanks, sorry if its a noob question at all.
