Finally someone who has the same thoughts as me about hotter cams on those old 12Vs. Power and torque will be raised but not really shifted to higher rpm and power will fall off in a similar way as with an OE camshaft. And low end torque might as well get even worse than stock... Not completely sure yet but I think I will go with a stock cam and even small 2.0L cylinder head on my 2.8L turbo M20. Wonder if that will net me 500+ hp via kind of like a "progressive" boost curve tho 😅 Cool content, keep going! Looking forward to your 3.1L
I finally got all the parts (I think) for my E28 M20 turbo build. Can I get away without the stock MAF (I have a MAP sensor) for microsquirt? Please provide more tours of your wiring and engine bay, this is the only quality content on this subject on youtube. Also, you made a mold of the carbon fiber engine bay bumper trim cover, would you consider selling some? Appreciate all the content!
Thanks for watching! Yes you can use almost any map sensor with the microsquirt and no need to use the stock MAF at all. I have considered making more carbon fiber parts but probably won’t be until next year if I do due to time constraints.
Good stuff. Are you running b35 double valve springs? Instead of doing the combustion chamber modifications, why not to use b35 head instead? Less work and b35 head has other improvements over b34 head. Keep the M30 content coming. It's almost extinct.
Singe valve springs ( it doesn’t make power past 6k so I don’t rev it hard and haven’t had any issues with valve control ) I’m just using what I have and taking the opportunity to learn along the way.
I have a B35, would you say that headwork is not necessary for a long term/reliable 400whp e28 application? I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start for my build, aside from having the head inspected and cleaned.
Great work. Please don’t stop the E28 stuff.
sweeeet. favorite bimmer channel. I second wanting to see wiring tips and tricks, and I’m very excited for your twin cam builds!

@@TurbineResearch could you make any more videos on the build discussing literally anything 😀

Mine was making ~400hp for 6 years on a completely stock engine. I wouldn’t do anything to the head for that power level
