Why? Aren't superchargers more efficient, and will last longer then a turbo?

The only supercharger kit for a e30 I know of costs $6,000. It makes about 240hp.

Waste of time AND money.

supereta

Basically the "I" head and the super eta head are the heads of choice for the m20.

Best bet would be to use an e36 m3 crank. or a 524td crank, lower the compression ratio with customJ & E or other pistons and turbo it.

Those guys in Sweden have crazy turbo m20s producing way over 400 HP.

Later,

Joe

Actually the only thing that would absolutely need to be replaced on the supereta is the cam and intake manifold.Its already at 8.5:1 compression,has 2.7 L, and I head.It is the perfect candidate for FI if the engine is still in solid shape.
