I did my swap, before the turn of the century, with essentially ZERO support at the time (I wrote my first version of my swap manual while doing my swap) because there was nothing out there at all on OBD-II swaps.
And I did it in a long weekend.
Started Friday night and had it ready to fire on Monday, when it went to the dealer to check everything over BEFORE I applied power. Which, was smart, because I did not have the BMW ETMs (which I now have) and I would have fried a few things, adding cost and further delay.
The dealer had it running in three days. That was a fun ride home...
Now, that aside (we ARE talking about supercharging here) I suggest a 2.8 from a Z3 (hard to find; not impossible) as the weight is about the same as the four, but obviously has a displacement advantage, and massive aftermarket support. With my manual you could have the 2.8 running in a weekend, and then later add the blower. Food for thought.
