Re: Will Frost's M20 Engine build

Blimey, a (small) amount of progress ! I finally got the block out and onto a stand. I have also started gathering everything I had for the engine already for cleaning and painting etc. I also had delivery of my camshaft :-).

Re: M54B30 Crankshaft

That is exactly the information which I was wondering about, thank you.

I have three M20 builds going on here.

M20 w/M52B28 crank + M54B30 rods + custom pistons

M20 w/M52B28 crank + M20B20 rods/M20B25 pistons

M20 w M54B30 crank + undecided rod/piston

E30 M20 2.7 turbo breather system

What have others done with regards to the breather system on the M20 turbo setups ?

I have an M20 Turbo E30 here and I am pretty certain the breather system is incorrect.

Thanks in advance

Re: Super fast steering rack

No problem, it is a minor error and we have all probably done similar at some point. Particularly after a long day it is easy to do. I was a bit confused as I personally checked that the correct rack was wrapped due to them being easily mistaken. At least you have the correct parts and kindly remove...

Re: Heated Front Screen (non M3)

4 remaining !

The price is £290+ vat and includes postage to the mainland UK.

Collection is also available from Nottingham or Newquay (Cornwall) and obviously the price will be cheaper (by 44+vat).

It is a 265 rebuilt with a gear kit. It has a lightweight flywheel and helix 4 puck clutch kit.
The vehicle is not yet running a flat shit set up.

The 2.5 car has a geartronics flat shift system.

It just turned up ! For your info... M3 3.0 - 39 mm/rev - the slowest available rack. This is a variable ratio but it is slower than standard until 200 degree's of steering wheel angle.
