3.5 Conversion

[M5pilot]

Thats well tidy!

Have you considered turbo charging the M20 2.5? NO engine removal stuff to do.

I would love to do a 3.5 conversion but may go the turbo route if my Ԛ£500 touring is worthy.

Yeah dave turbo it!!!

forget turboing-too much money and complications Dave, m30is tried and tested, whereas al the turbos ive seen tend to vary a lot in approach with varying success...

my advice is to just m30 it in position 3

i have told u i can get my e30.de mounts copied for u for position 3..... not a problem-i know a good welder who should do it very cheap and well.. as for an engine if i get that one in the for sale section---u can have it.... just need an e34 sump and pickup...

oh and i'll happily help u out although i dunno if the chain if justice will be around then.. ....

i reckon with good preparation we can do it in 2 days easily..... and this is realistic as we have a huge wealth of knowledge from toby and andy,,, and hopefully i'll have learnt a few things from my conversion..

as for the m3-being heavy... i think its fine and ure a good enuff driver to get round that---ive been in tobys car with stock iS suspension and its fookin great in the bends....

Karan bring on the m30!!!!

Karan... your using the same mounts as the M30...? That's interesting. I'll be needing a set of engine mounts too... so get two lots done!

[Karan]

yeh giles the block mounting points are the same on m30 and s38..

no probs.. ill get a few made up anyway.. for dave and u for sure..

Position 3...?

[Karan]

5mm steel... very heavy!
