Re: 1984 324td forged crank for e30 turbo??
The 2.7 m20 engine has 2.7 displacment yet only produces 121 bhp compared to the 171 of the 2.5 , but it does put out 170 fpt, less power but more torque than the m20b25 engine, it has a larger stroke and incressed displacement. Basically the same as uk forecourts, i have only seen bio-ethanol for s...

Re: 1984 324td forged crank for e30 turbo??
I had mentioned weight/balance earlier in the topic, no one cared. Torque is however calculated by the force applyed multiplied by the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force was first exerted. so technically if the force is applyed to a greater distance larger stroke it will take...

Re: E30 with rearmount turbo
I guess all of you guys have turbo e30? and have spent stupid money on them? The way I see it, why spend 3000 - 5000 on more power when you can just sell your car and buy an e36 m3 evo for the same??? A proper n/a bmw? OR put a turbo at the rear of your e30 and improve power without wasting thousan...

Re: 1984 324td forged crank for e30 turbo??
just saying that the td forged crank is no good for high rpms due to the throw, is plain BS. yes, a bigger throw will require more power to rev up, but then also a bigger throw provides that extra power it requires. its just plain geometry really. there are several BMW engines with cranks that have...

Fair do's fowler using a diesel crank in your setup is quality, i think utilising stock parts from other motors is winner winner chicken dinner, skimming pistons another great reliable tunning method utilises stock parts, saves money, as a general rule building any power lump using the diesel crank ...

Re: 1984 324td forged crank for e30 turbo??
Edited and close to warning : Posted by HartgeH27 Diesel cranks generally have longer strokes, the longer the stroke the harder it is to rev, hence your larger capacity to 2.8, like midnight wrote on the first quote. The 324tds diesel cranks are designed with over square pistons, where by the piston...

WASTEGATE CHATTER/FLUTTER ?

Re:
there are low compression cylinder heads and high compression ones. be carefull when you buy, check where the valves seat into the head, if its domed for the pistons or if its just flat.
