What other modifications have you done to the engine apart from the thicker head gasket and the turbo convertion/wasted spark? Are you running a more or less standard engine internals?
I'm thinking of building a 1.8 m40 turbo myself but i want to run 220bhp at least. Do you know if there are any arp head and rod bolts avalible for this engine, or are they made to order?
Thanks

mine is stock internals fella if you lower the compression some more you might geta bit more but TBH you don't need it my figure is an estimate as it has not been RR yet it could be more fellaQuick question Fowler

I found this kit which is probbably the best part of 900 quid for e30 "Apparantly", which is alot since it still requires a down pipe for the turbo.

Just a quick question, Will this will make my m20 go bang unless I do something about the current engine compression?
Sorry, dont mean to threadjack.
Thanks in advance.
