I want know if it is possible or not? If yes, what i need to replace?
Cause my 318ti has less then 50 000 miles and i dont want replace the car, but improve the engine torke in low rpm like the m44.

Just buy a chip for the DME, youll save A LOT of money.

In my opinion, the only thing better about the M44 is that it uses a MAF on the intake. The M42 uses a AFM which is more restrictive as the air on the intake stream needs to open a door in the AFM.
In all other respects the M42 is a better engine.
Do a search for AFM to MAF conversion here and on bimmerforums. I have looked into this and have not been satisfied with the results.
If you just want more power, go the chip route as Bluebimma suggested. The stock M42chip is not very well tuned so you can get 20hp from a good chip.

I read somewhere about a 70% reduction in friction over the M42....

They can be swapped, though the M44 has a few plastic cooling system parts that like to fail, ruining the head.

Isn't Johnboy running an m42 head on a M44 block?

Ok.
Than, what chip do you suggest?
Cause i purchased a ebuy chip and the engine doesnt start anyway.

99% of percentages are exaggerated.

20 hp from a chip is a little exaggerated:icon_poke :tongue:

Ebay is a bad place to buy "chips" or any performance part.

No I run a M42 block, M47 crank and M44 head...Danny "Blowing 4" is running my old M44 block with his M42 head.

What's the best place for purcahse chips in USA and London? Do you know? And what company i can trust?

Did he had to do any mods to run that set up?
