Duddley Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hell yeah! Been lookin at cams and stroker kits and the like. Stoker kits are super spendy but cams are not too badly priced for these things! What's the best way to get an engine cleaned up? Take everything apart and take the head and block to get hot bathed or similar? Quote
Rookie Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 You should turbo it Duds. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/WLR-STORE-New-Design-Turbo-Manifold-FOR-BMW-E30-M20-320i-325i-325e-325is-325-es/617541_2032586924.html http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Drop-shipping-GT3582R-GT3582-GT35-internal-wastegate-Turbine-A-R-1-06-compressor-50-A-R/424942_887314741.html http://www.aliexpress.com/item/6-1000CC-FLOW-MATCHED-RACING-INJECTORS-FOR-L6-L7-M3-M5-M6-Z3-E46-S54-323i/1387780185.html http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Tansky-TOP-QUALITY-External-Fuel-Pump-044-for-Bosch-OEM-0580-254-044-Poulor-300lph/1544818512.html http://www.aliexpress.com/item/AUTOFAB-Intercooler-IC-550-230-65-OD-63mm-AF-INT0012/1274810328.html http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-BMW-E36-M3-325i-325s-328i-M20-M52TU-3-2L-Beam-Conrods-Connecting-Rods-without/32237638971.html http://www.aliexpress.com/item/CAM-GEARS-PULLEY-KIT-FOR-MITSUBISHI-EVO-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9/2033478723.html Add a megasquirt and you would be in the money.

Sparkle Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 bit expensive, but they love it http://turbochargingdynamics.com/?wpsc_product_category=m20 Quote
Rookie Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Basically it is too cheap not to Duds. 2 Quote
Duddley Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 One day it shall be a 2.something stroked turbo weapon! That 2.7ltr turbo m20 makes me feel funny in my pants. In the mean time though - I need to rebuild and lush the engine up, along with the rest of the car. What's the process to rebuild an engine? I'm guessing: Take it all apart Degrease as much of it as I can Figure out which ancillaries are bung and what's to keep Take stripped down engine block and head somewhere to get test/cleaned Block/head rebored, honed, crank polished, valves ground etc. Start buying rebuild bits like: gaskets, seals, valve seals, oversized pistons, rods, a lush cam, megasquirt etc Figure out how to put all this shit together Is this right more or less? 1 Quote
Rookie Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Yes, but you don't really need step 2, unless you are talking about the bits you won't take to the engine machinist. Also step 6 should be step 4 and all the rest should move down one, because you need the pistons and rods to do the machining. 1 Quote
scanner Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Nice project, watching with interest. IMHO mock it up in the engine bay, sort out your mounts, headers and other shit before throwing any money at the motor. 2 Quote
scanner Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Fenders were welded from the factory with 2 or 3 tacks and then lead loaded to cover the seam so your fenders could be the originals? Hopefully the underseal wont be hiding too many headaches! Keep up the good work 1 Quote

Hopefully the underseal wont be hiding too many headaches! Keep up the good work Ahh that makes sense now! Although, they were pretty shoddy welds.. Ahh well, I'll make even shoddier welds when I put them back on to keep up tradition. I get super motivated each time I read up on your project on the FAQ! Do you recon there'd be much of a difference running single line boosterless brakes without the twin brake boosters? Quote
scanner Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I haven't had any personal experience with deleting them but theres a few threads on the UK forum worth reading http://www.02forum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1171 . The twin servos do take up valuable engine bay space! Quote
Duddley Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 This will hopefully be me one day Such a lush build. Inspiration peaking! 3 Quote
Duddley Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Need some advice please! The little fins on the aluminium front grills have snapped off and was wondering what the best way to fix it is? Could some solder hold it together? Quote
Duddley Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Cheers Ed for the freight run! Obligatory coils and shock out test fit They're perfect fit. Can't wait to hoon with coilovers set to banana. 1 Quote

kempy Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Need some advice please! The little fins on the aluminium front grills have snapped off and was wondering what the best way to fix it is? Could some solder hold it together? How about cutting some small strips of aluminium to bridge behind the grill stripsand the main part and use a metal epoxy to affix? Cool project, always wanted a 2002tii 2 Quote
