M52 2.8 conversion

[oldroydsr4]

Hi.

Currently in the middle of building a track e30 (cage etc), not sure what to do engine wise.

originally planned to do an m20 325i turbo(already purchased head studs etc) but not sure whether a e36 2.8 wuth the bigger 325i tb and inlet would be better.

First could somebody give me a list of parts required(everything if poss)
for the m52 conversion

Secondly whats your opinions.
Cheers boys

M52 2.8 with BBTB, 2.5 manifold conversion and a proper remap should see 230/240bhp add cams decent exhaust etc may a few more, best ask on the e36coupe.co.uk forum, many tuned M52's there.

Or....

2.5 turbo, 300bhp, more if needed just turn up the boost! With the amount of info on the zone, first hand experiance and results, it's the next evolution for e30's. Graham's s14 turbo is raced most weekends and he's based localish, maybe worth a email or two? He's managed to get over 450bhp out of his 2.3 which kinda makes the M52 look a little lame really.

I take it they arrived ok then?

I do know what you mean with the power figures.
I should just stay focused

Ok you've convinced me to stay on track.
