Huge thanks to Strawman, your pinout of the x20 made it possible. Which reminds me, I owe you a few more bucks for thst cluster, which, as it turns out, I won't be needing. But the Engine, DME, EWS and chip are all synced up and running beautifully. I'll admit, I had my doubts and when my power wire to the EWS popped off, causing it not to start, I almost panicked but it was a easy fix. The tach, and coolant temp even work.
I know this is an old thread, and my apologies for reviving a 4 yr old thread but since I'm new here, I can't PM you. I'm actually looking at doing the same thing. I have a 96 318ti with a Downing atlanta supercharger, and I'm wanting to put it in my 91 e30 318is. I want to keep the OBD2. Any tips/suggestions?
