bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) For sale a race engine project, that is now collecting dust. I have moved out of the country and left my car bits in my parents shed. A M20B27 engine from a 86 325i. Engine has done about 190,000kms before the rebuild started. This engine was a 2.5L. I have completed a 'e' block on the 'i' head conversion to make it a 2.7L. The cam has been changed to a 282' degree race cam. The engine did not like to idle very well. The block is the one with the steam holes in between cyl 3 and 4. The rockers are Korman Engineering alloy rockers. These alone cost $800 for 12. The deck has been dropped 100thou to increase compression to about 11:1. The big end, cam front bearing have all been replaced. Intake manifold and loom included. Needs: cam belt, water pump, and a car to go in. The gearbox is a G260 and comes with Motronic 1.1 sensors, flywheel, pressure plate and clutch. I am wanting $1200 for the lot. I dont want to split it up. Other items for sale: E30 sump guard $100 Mtec 2 spoiler and boot lid (Diamond Black) $120 Edit: more pics All parts are in Tauranga. I live in Canberra now, hence the reason to sell. PM me or call +61 451 830 979 for more details Edited September 16, 2011 by bumpstop325 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace Of Spades 51 Report post Posted September 25, 2011 Hey man does is this still bolt in to an e30 320i? or do you have to do some work to it? also has it got a super rough idle? not suitable for street use? Cheers sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2011 The idle is out because, because the cam's large blowby, closes the afm flap at low rpm. I only ever had the stock airflow meter on, which is not suitable. A more advanced setup would help solve this problem. Yes, this will fit. Forgot to list items, Oil cooler (lines and radiator) Fogger oil has been sprayed in the cylinder heads to keep it lubed and corrosion at bay. I will list more photos soon.

bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2011 I would go with a MAP sensor setup. eg LINK computer or an APEXI SAFM controller that would allow you swap the stock airflow meter for a hotwire AFM. I would guess an increase of 20 to 30% in HP over a stock 325i. Maybe a little bit more in torque as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
