I have a beemer 325is 1990 model with a 2.7L engine. Mods include a racing chip, alpina cams, oversized valves, gas flowed head, 535AFM.
She has recently developed a bearing knock and i am considering some power mods whilst the engine is opened. I am looking at either the possibility of a turbo, or a stroker conversion.
I already have 320i crank( and rods) which can drop the compression if I do the turbo route..
Alternatively I can get a 328i crank reasonably from a friend, which i can also use with the 320 rods for the stroker conversion. I also have 728i pistons (86mm) that i am not if they can be used to increase the bore without too much modification. (is this possible?)
I am looking for a fast street car that can be for everyday use and not an outright racer (reliability issues).
I would also like to do this conversion without breaking the bank. Please may I have some sound advice/ informed opinions on which would be the best way to go.
