    m50nv turbo vs m30b35 turbo builds?

    I don't post here much but I was hoping to get some pictures and info on turbo setups on m50nv and on m30b35. I have both engines and I'm trying to figure out which i'd like to go with in the direction of boost. I'v had several late models I'v m50 swapped but I really like the m30 and I'm ready for a change I believe. Thanks!

      I believe the 24v motors are lighter...Someone correct me if I am wrong. Also, more valves=better flow and more power in a smaller displacement (lighter weight) package.

        the weight difference between a turbo m30 and a turbo 24v is not important when you're making 400+whp

        m30s are more stout and lower-strung. there are fewer parts and they can go to shit in fewer ways. there's no vanos. there's no hydraulic lifters. there's barely a computer. straight up big explosions.

        they even turbo'd them from the factory.

          If you like to go in a strait line, then sure.

            if you like to go around corners, bolting 150 lbs of magic spinny metal to your motor is probably not what you'd want to do in the first place

              (the weight difference between an m30 and a 24v is 17 lbs)

                Totally not a big deal in an e30 with 400+whp
