BTW,I'm also a fabricator by trade and my wife has a 525I(95) so I can build any hard parts for that motor.

Yank out whatever's in there and toss in a sr20det. There's a bolt in kit available and a harness kit so it uses you existing dash harness and everything else so your cluster works with the DET ecu and all the sensors. Little cheaper then BMW ----.

BMW ----?There is nothing shitty or expensive on a BMW.

I you do put something in a BMW that doesnt belong there you would put a GM v8 in it.Some of the BMWs actually have GM trannys so all you would need to do is change the bell housing.

wow.... that's like yanking the gsr motor out of your integra and putting a zc in... most e30 owners go with megasquirt, or buy a chip off ebay... I have 2 "aftermarket/dinan" chips/roms for e30 "i" and "e" models. Chips are 27c256 just like honda ecu's... and socket is already there. If he has a e36, obd1 i believe you can chip but obd2 i think you have to reprogram through the obd scanner port...

so if a person is lookin for a BMW specifically to turbo which ones would be the best platform to start from as far as easily tunable?

mycrx

ya my friends m3 is a 97 so its obd2. anyway to convert to obd1 and run the chip in the ecu? any programs for tuning? or since its bmw i assume you have to buy it. and besdie what shitty tune youd have by just a chip, all motors run different, and not the same tune will be the same.

e30 hands down

I'm in the process of figuring out the direct port programing on the MK4 VWs and if history repeats itself then the same procecure should work on the BMW stuff.Time will tell.

e30 M3's r the ----, also is there anyway to convert the obd2 to obd1? without much bs? i know its prob not like a honda but im sure they are similar and somehow could be done.
