I've been boosting my M10 for over 7 years, I have never met someone that can say that about an m20:) What finally brought my m10 out of the car was a broken ring land due to a bad tune, the rest of the engine is mint. My new motor is also an m10. I get better than m3 whp with the m3 weight balance :) . There is a reason BMW built the M3 as a 4 cylinder when the already had a 2.3 m20.

I don't have a build thread but I would be more than happy to answer any questions. I cannot take credit for the piston fitment though, I got the information from Mitch over on the "other" forum.
I put the new engine in on Friday. It sounds awesome, My 60 trim t3 whistles like a train horn at idle :) the difference in exhaust pulse is quite noticable.sigpic

My recipie:
S14b23 crank, front timing chain gear. S14 oil pump chain and sproket. 2002 double row timing chain and cam sproket. S14b23 rods (or s38b36)
The pistons are the killer items. They are mahle motorsport (read--very high quality and should be high dollar) pistons for a ford modular. I dont have the part number, but you can search them easily enough. They are dished, and 90.1mm bore. They come in 4 packs with 4 spares and should cost about $500.
That setup on my engine last dyno time was 465bhp.

Originally posted by solo318 View PostI am currently running the same recipe as Deagle. I must say that it just plain works! In any custom engine build the problem is always piston quality. Most custom pistons are built with a pretty short lifespan, The Mahle pistons are very high quality and are built to last.
