The original turbo setup was up and running for about a month. Then my crappy IHI turbo spit out its rear oil seal again. So the plan was to go BIG and Megasquirt. I bought some bigger injectors and the relay and wiring for the MS setup but nothing else. I realized that after a sizeable investment I would only have
a 220 whp unreliable car.
So I started looking for other options.

wludavid My concern is the understeer that would result from such a beast. The M30 weighs 67 more pounds than the M20, and the weight is further forward. People already complain about the understeer characteristics in the 325i/e compared to the 318i/M3.

Remove the A/C off of the m30 and there is the difference. To be honest this will no longer be a auto-x hopefull. So what is 60 lbs in a street car?

wludavid Complaining aside, it's an intriguing swap. Will it be cheap enough to enter in the GRM $2006 challenge?

Probably not. I figure the swap will plus turbo and Megasquirt will put me near $5,000. But for a car that will be the sh_t out of a new M3.....its worth it.
