MR300: motor talk.
Posted: 25 May 2015 08:10 pm
Right guys. My 360s motor. I have a early 230 bottom, I know it's not the best, but I have to make the best out of what I have. So:
Block
A. Is there any way on a mid thrust block to get rid of the minimal play these apparently have??
B. What BMW oil squirters do I use to retro fit?
Head
A. What steps should I take to maintain the working nature of the twin cam? Eliminate risk of bending valves? How deep can I cut the reliefs before the Pistons are too thin?
B. Is there a mechanical tensioner for the twin cam cars or just hydraulic? If there is both, what's more reliable?
C. There was a silver contraption on the side of the 16v block, with pulley, what is it and do I need it?
Induction
A. Flow and performance wise, I'm leaning toward twin CT12s off my mates mark 3 supra, would a 15G be better?
Finally, twin cam twin turbo 2.3 redblock. What kind of power could I expect?would like more than the 850R with 16T.
