They tell to me that the insta;;ation is very fast and easy and is very easy to set up, on of the guys runs 18psi of boost!!!(prelude) the other psi and beleive the cars runs FAST!!!. So i looking for info to help you and me and the others that like this mod.

The new PCIIIs are USB. Best place to get them is from ebay off a trashed bike.

If that doesn't work out for you, a buddy of mine owns a motorcycle shop. I can see what I can hook up for you.

Great! The nice thing about the PCIII is that you can easily share your "tune" with others, and try different settings for different size injectors. I'm still debating between the PCIII and NickG's tune.

I could be convinced to do a group buy. Would anyone else be interested?

I believe this is the one we need: http://www.powercommander.com/308-211.aspx

Model number: 308-411 (PC III USB) Retails for $339.95.

Where can we find 36 lb/hr injectors? It would be nice to find some BMW injectors that would fit, or the spacers/adapters needed to fit without the air shroud.

FATHER 12-19-2006 01:13 PM

Dustent the some ford injectors are fit on BMW i have 4 19# from mustang install on my car, i buy it on Ebay for 40.00, but i think you have the oem injectors with the hoses so you need an adapters i think

This should work well as long as you don't exceed ~10psi of boost. After 10psi I think the factory MAF is going to start clipping really bad and (as far as I know) there isn't a fix for that yet.

This is meant to be a DIY tuning solution for fuel ONLY (no ignition control) which will allow you to run larger injectors (thus more fuel) without confusing the computer too much. A wideband oxygen sensor is a MUST if you plan on tuning it yourself.

any news or new info dustent??

Santa didn't bring me a PCIII. :( I did get a lightweight aluminum low-profile jack and cordless impact driver though. :biggrin:

I'm going to do a bit more research and see what else there is out there. I'll update the thread with any new info I find.

Hi, can the PCIII retard timing in M44s other than fueling? I don't remember it.
There is a method for know how much ignition timing should be retarded, with eaton supercharger as DASC?

30lbs inj should be ok for 10-12psi of boost with a PCIII, right?

Who have a picture of NickG injector's adapters? Can you post it here?
thanks.

nuvolarossa 05-27-2007 10:24 PM

Hi guys, now I have my power commander 3 usb!:biggrin: I have too some maps, but the car isn't ready. The crankshaft position manager is gone, so I need to find a new one, then I need to search some big injectors and I'll wire it to the car...:cool:
