[mk2ned]

I need help on my 2.7 turbo build
WHAT HEAD GASGET DO I NEED
If any one can help me out please get intouch.
THANKS GUYS AND GIRLS...

standard bmw one is fine, without knowing your build spec thats best advice stick to OE.

[mk2ned]

The spec is 2.7 bottem end
JR rods
535 head
6 branch turbo manifold
t3/t4 hybrid turbo
spa turbo external wast gate
and nissian skyline map
some one said that a e39 m5 head gasget is the one ??? but im not sure??

[ShakeyC]

no keep with standard bmw head gasket for that engine im guessing is M20. What pistons did you use and if the block or head has been decked you should measure everything work out your volumes and compression ratio too. Your map will be inappropriate too.

E39 M5's have V8s, so that wont work. I'd also recommend a custom remap, else you might as well not bother at all.

[mk2ned]

thanks for the help mate
you say a custom remap but i realy dont want to piggy back ecu.
i have got Q PANG managemant so not using stock rubbish.
pistons are JE low comp and a 535 head with cam
How about a 535 head gasget????

Are you sure it's a 535 head? thats a M30 or BIG 6 engine, the M20 2.7 block is a Little 6 so it just will not fit, the big size differance is just one of many reasons why not... Have a good look through the engine swaps section


Have you had anything taken off the block top?

[ShakeyC]

It sounds like those parts are totally mis-matched, no offence but you will most definately better off paying someone more experienced build and map it for you.

Scarey !

Have you a photo of the '535' cylinder head sat on the '2.7' block,please,I am facinated....

[Ziggy]

An M30B28 is 2788cc, but something tells me that isn't the answer here...

Moving to the Engine swaps / FI section anyway

jesus this bloke is asking for ttrouble i think this is on a m30 2.8 as ziggy says as its all a load of gobbldy gook ATM
