95 M-44 intake, upper and lower

[blackm3kompressor]

I am a dumbass.....I bought a car w the engine "blowed " up and pitched the intake. It was nasty, was in the hatch, got pissed.........now I am going to put an M-44 back in, but it is a 97. Anybody out there have one laying around to sell?

If that one isn't avail. pm me I have one leftover with the fuel rail and injectors still intact.

Along with some other parts also

if your car is a 95 like you say in the thread title, you'd have an M42, not an M44, I'm not sure if the intakes are interchangeable or not but I just want to let you know so you don't buy a part you can't use

Thanks guys..........I am checking the VIN to be sure which engine is in the car. My source says possibly both in that year. If it is an M-42, I probably should take the complete M-44 w harness and computer and put it in the car and be done with it............comments?

all pre-95 318s have an M42, all 318s from 96-00 have M44s

Thanks! So how big of a mind f%$*@ is putting an M-44 in this 95 car.....

[tiFreak]

seeing as your converting an OBDI car into OBDII, I'd say pretty big

Change the timing case cover and run the m44 like an m42.

[blackm3kompressor]

You have to use the intake and throttle body from the 42 also though right? They are different.......what is different about the timing cover?

Thanks for the help...........

[Bluebimma]

Cam position sensors are different tolerances. If im not mistaken, the m44 will work for a while but will either become damaged or not function properly due to tolerances, cant remember for sure.
