getting parts in auckland

Recommended Posts

Hello.

Looks like i'll have to rebuild my cylinder head out of my ticking e30 325i.

I have an early motronic engine, with compression ratio 9.7, and i'd like to replace it with a later type head, which will give me 8.5:1, as i'm planning a FI project in the near future, so low compression is essential :)

Are there any BMW dismantlers/wreckers, that stock those kind of parts ? buying it form dealer wold cost more than the car's value :)

as well i'd be interested in individual valvetrain components - rocker, valves, etc...

Is there anybody who would locally stock performance parts, such as long duration cam shafts, or do i need to import one from US ?

Cheers.

You sure brent? I thought only the 2.5 head would work with the 2.5 block and pistons?

Also, I wouldn't bother with a longer duration cam if your going FI.

2L heads sh*t. ports too small for 2.5

as for cam, the best seems to be the stock one for FI, judging by the turbo guys on
