Illegal mod

[Racebred]

hello.... if want to spend all the money to drop in engine, only drop in 2L??? using kiasu mentality, must at least drop in the 2.8 right.

 

[piggyboyz]

Bro, it's a 4 cyclinder engine la...

Put 2.8L, even the road sweeper can see the difference wor.....

 

[sash5]

i dont really suggest a swopping of engine, think abt the yearly inspection and all the hassle of getting inspect.. 4 cyc and 6 cyc engine is totally different therefore it will be easy for even untrained eyes to see.. the fine is very hefty. imagine, original engine capacity minus mod. engine capacity.. the difference will be multiply by number of years the car has registered = backside tear

why not go for Force Induction? Its cheaper even if get fine.. $500 onli.

 

[piggyboyz]

It's possible for a M42 engnie to go up to 2.1L but that has to be a stroker kit...

For a 2.1L, a standard stroker should yield about 170hp and should cost around 8-9k for the whole work to be carried out...

If u interested, i know there is a 2.1L lying around in one of the workshop, fully rebuilt...

 

[sash5]

stroker kit is another ball game.. undetectable, nice clean work.. those uncle at viacom will not be able to tell the difference if the same engine block is use..

Hahahaha dats right E36 316 confirm HABIS!!!

Anyway I spoke to my fren about it. He has a budget of around 2-3k tops and he justs wanna get more power. Not power as in to drag and stuff like that but power so that you feel good driving the car. So is there anyway to FI a car with that price?

By the way, are there any 4cyc 2 litres?

 

[sash5]

3k can custom made a FI kit together with all the neccessary piping and a stock intercooler, but i dont think the stock ECU can handle positive pressure reading.. and i am not sure how much its a aftermarket piggy back ECU for Bimmer..

Aiya, Loot 1 RB25 inside

 

[Mockngbrd]

RB26

 

[sash5]

RB26DETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MRacer77]

Err... I think the RB26DETT is abit outside the budget??? Besides, even the 2litre for the bimmer is a 6 cylinder is it not??? Think the only way to do it is to get the 1.8litre 4 banger and then stroke the M*****F*****G thing!

 

[rex7_vtec]

How much is the stroker kit? Will it come with the ECU as well?

 

[MRacer77]

No, the stroker kit does not come with the ECU. Depending on the brand, the kit can cost anywhere from $3k - $7k.

 

[rex7_vtec]

Holy ECUs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think my friend is gonna skip the idea now....
