Whats the compression ratio? If its high, you'll have to swap to a thicker head gasket to lower the compression ratio for boost.

Long story short.

Oh hahaha makes sense now.

Actually if I'm right it might just be 8:1 , I think I read it on R3vlimited

The compression level of the engine haha. Older bmw engines tend to have 10:1, or something around there. Ideally you want an 8:1 or around there if you want to boost, which you can do with a different head gasket. Jaze knows much more than I do though, so I'll let him chime in if he feels led.

Really depends though on how durable his lower end parts are it could have forged rods and be fine. Though alot of turbo motors in todays world come with at least a 8.5 to a 9.3. Helps with the boost lag

"Compression ratio: 9.0:1 (82-87), 8.5:1 (super ETA 87-88"

In the early days of my e30 ownership, I never understood what people were talking about when they said m20b20, b2.5, b2.7 and whatnot Was so confused and scared to ask.

[Khalil]

Mother.fucker. I gotta ask the dude what it's out of haha.

Yeah dude I never wanted to ask learned it slowly.

Omg with offsets I was like wtf is that!??? Literally taught myself haha

[mrg7243]

Get on it

I really dont care about BMW engine codes. Mitsubishi are simple as hell, similar to honda just not as many

[jdel]

Something something something.....



SOWO yeah fuck yeah

[theseeker411]

Seriously dude, you could do a S50 swap for about what it'd cost do do a halfway reliable turbo m20, and it'd be faster.

[Khalil]

O___o why is always much work haha.

Also I PM Jorge, hope it works out.
