crank

yeh the manifolds are horrible cast log manifolds. the forged crank inside the m21 engine will handle 700bhp! with a big enough turbo :D

i have tryed to get 1 of these cranks for a couple of weeks. i had to buy a complete 524td to get it! these cranks go for a lot nowadays!

the coolant on the throttle body is a economy thing. the design warms air as it passes the throttle body to get the engine up to running temp sooner.
