I have a spare M30b20 engine and trans laying around..
Do i have to use a 2.5 flywheel and clutch? Anything i can pick from this engine?

Did some maintainance on the engine today.. Got a new chain tensioner, so less sound.. New bosch sparkplugs, the best oil Mobil1 have, new oil filter and a open air filter just for sounds(and no shop had my original filter in stock) . Lots of intake nois now, and it pulls alot better. NOT because of the air filter, the plugs and oil made the difference! They where in a bad shape.

How is the response and power delivery in the engine when it gets a lighter flywheel? Is it worth to find the lightest option available, or will it be a hassle to keep it from stalling?

I will order a chip as soon as possible.

I would like to get some LSD diff in the car, but the ratio is perfect for the types of autox tracks we have here.. So i will either weld it, or leave it open.
Have no real problems with loosing the traction on new tyres (on my old tyres it was alot more tail happy)
I have small wheels aswell, so its abit geared down there.  195/45 16"

Hi!

I'm considering to modify my engine slightly in my 318is '93.
Is there any cheap tricks that will raise the power some?

-Cams would be lovely, but i cant afford new ones.. would need to be used..
-Injectors, i've heard about Injectors from Vauxhall Omega 2.5V6 that is supposed to give alittle more fuel, but alot better spray.
-Chip, There is a chip on ebay claiming a 8-12hp gain for 40£, i want to try..
-Exhaust, Is it worth to build a 2.5" system or is the original okay?
-Throttle body, anything bigger thats bolt on?
-Lighten up stuff like flywheel and pulleys, anything cheap for sale?

Budget would be around 400£ or 620$
