Title: M43TU Swap to M42 HELP!
Post by: imprisario on December 01, 2009, 07:05:52 AM

Hey guys!
At me BMW E36 compact M43 1.9 TU 2000. I wish to change on M42 with completion and tuning.
All hope of you as, in Russia, class motors m52 m54 S50 S54 are in demand only, I wish to construct the car on the basis of motor M42 and only!!!
Help me to solve some questions please.
 I already have a donor, motor M42 lies in my garage. But 140 HP it is not enough, what it is possible to make and what to spend completion to raise capacity of the motor without reducing its resource? And without the turbine.!!
Thanks!

There's really not much you can do besides a turbo if you want to increase power by any significant amount. If I were you, I'd swap in an S/M52 instead.

It is clear, but I should do set of alterations in this variant, and body weight will be broken.
