I did'nt build the engine, so i realy don't know.

I bougth the car ready built.

Plans before summer season: M21 oil pump(not satisfied with the idle oilpressure) and coilovers

Thanks for the comments so far =)

i would love to see it in action whats it like to drive

You can go up to 3.1 with an M20.

what does welding the coolant channels do?

Lovely looking car and I love the paint job.

Not that the engine escapes attention and I really like the way the large bore exhaust is downswept and subtle.

bodger wrote:what does welding the coolant channels do?

Strengthens the head around the water channels.
Which is a weak spot on the M20 heads.

Far out!!

Good stuff. I have the same 2.9L kit in my E30 and though it boogied along alright as an N/A engine. I couldn't imagine it with a spool attached.

Hopefully it brings you many years of troubleless driving.

V.Nice...!

Nice car, any chance of a rear shot of it or a shot of the back box, was realy fancying a 3" downswept tip on mine an it looks spot on on yours!

Very

Correct =) And thanks
You can see how the coolant channels are shaped differently in the head and engine block. You also see why this is an weak spot when laying a headgasket over the head.


Thanks for all the feed back guys =)

I have no films of the car newly sprayed and with the new engine in action. I'll update you guys after som track days

This is a film old film clip from a previous owner

Have also orderer K-Sport coilovers, so I'll keep you guys updated with pictures when all parts arrive. Realy hope the new M21 oilpump will give better oilpressure at low rpms on warm engine.

What sort of oil pressure do you have at the minute at low RPM?

appletree wrote:What sort of oil pressure do you have at the minute at low RPM?

Have rigth under 1bar(14,5PSI) @ 1000rpm/75-80°C(167-176°F) after some rounds on trackdays. I'll think around 2bar is more normal. So i had to have 1500rpm idle speed to have good oilpressure

I'll also buy a new oilpressure gauge in case the gauge lies.

wow that is something else

like bss325i said you can go upto 3.1 with the m20 with the parts from these guy's
