Nice video! Im gonna turbo my e46 aswell. Next year or so :)

[@Nathanmakovec]

You won’t regret it!

[@dailydrivenclassics46]

@@Nathanmakovec I bet! m50b30 on ethanol gonna be crazy :)

[@FaworDrifts]

having the head off you could have one more gain giving it to machine shop - additional washers/shimms under retainers to make valve springs bit stiffer. Going over 1 bar of boost above 5500 you get very noticable valve float and engine will not push more then around 200hp (crank). Info in case you would struggle to make 250 :) What ECU do you plan to run, cause I couldn't understand?

[@Nathanmakovec]

This is something I may do in the future but I’m interested to see what the motor as a complete stock package can do. This allegedly made 280hp as is with a different turbo. It’s a “racing electronics” standalone ecu

[@maxlagewaard8959]

A nice new flat clean sharpening stone (10 to 15 dollars at hardware shop) with some crc is good for getting the head and block surface clean and flat.

[@Nathanmakovec]

I think I’ll definitely do this! Cheap as chips! Thanks

[@maxlagewaard8959]

@@Nathanmakovec You're welcome

[@jonathancostantini7189]

you know if it's possible to replace camshaft without touching the timing belt?

[@Nathanmakovec]

I would strongly suggest just doing the timing belt while you’re in there. While it may seem scary it’s probably very straight forward and they are known for having the belts fail so not worth it when you’ve already got it apart.

[@bengerdes4679]

What is the exact code of the engine and how much hp did it have to begin with?

[@Nathanmakovec]

M43B18 and they make 114hp at the flywheel from factory.
