nzhaystack 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 With the tax refund on its way i want to look at giving the 320i some more power. Just to ensure i get the right engine that will work on my current loom etc i need to know a few things 1. Do i get an engine from a pfl or fl e30? 2. should i buy and engine with a loom package included 3. Do i need to upgrade anything on the car like fuel pump etc? 4. Will my Getrag 240 thats currently running on my m20b20 bolt straight onto the m20b25? Cheers Mitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the seal need replacing and thought the m20b25 would be the better option to go for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Mitch You are better off getting a facelift 325 motor, but only if you can get it complete including loom and ecu. There is a bit of wiring to do, but easy enough. (There have been several previous posts with step by step). Fuel pump and your existing Getrag 240 will be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either convert the car to the FL setup or the new engine to the PFL setup. Why is he better of going with the FL engine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) PFL m20b25's have the hi compression motor, aim on finding on of those, less hassle with cooling system and wiring. Edited May 4, 2011 by Brams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubman 39 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 Wat about a m40 to m20b25 conversion, would the pfl engine suit better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
