Hey everybody,
Well dredder sent me a link to this thread so i became a member and though I would introduce myself and give a bit more info on the kit, as dredder and I haven't really gotten into the specifics very much yet. Due to the size of the turbo used (t3/t4) and the way the m42/44 motors sit in the E36 chassis you are going to loose your A/C. the main reason for that it because of where the turbo has to sit eliminates the factory pass side motor mount, this is why a new one is being finished right now that bolts up to the spot on the block normally taken up by the A/C. As for this kit working on a m44 engine that I can not guarantee as the only motor this has yet to be installed on is a m42 e36 sedan. One main thing to keep in mind is that this kit has yet to be fully tested the exhaust and charge pipes are planned to be finished by mid next week and then I have a little work left to do on the Acc. and then it hits the dyno. I can replicate anything you see on my motor for anyone that wants it. The main reason why I stated that i cant guarantee it to work m44 is because of three main things. valve train on m42 and m44 motors is very different (m44 utilizing rocker arms and m42 not) and the OBDI and OBDII differences between the two as well as the m42 has forged internals stock and the m44 has cast internals stock. The tuning is via a piggyback system called a SMT6 made by perfect power out of South africa. this unit has full datalogging capability and the ability to hook up to a laptop. you do not have to run a wideband o2 but i would highly recomend it. I am going to be talking to my tuner tommorow and see if I can get chips burned instead of making everyone get the piggyback unit as it is a littly tricky to install. I'm not sure if it was understood but this kit is not finished by any means, I still have the exhaust and charge pipes to sort out as well as any kinks that come up along the way once the car is started for the first time. dont get me wrong though, this kit will have far more potential than the DASC, for about the same price and spool faster (slightly smaller turbo than mine which is the stg3 turbo, stg1-2 should be full boost about 2500 or so but I will double check) not only that but this kit will have alot more room to grow (my motor is spec'd to do 450bhp with stock cams on pump gas, (turbo cams available))
