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. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 12-19-2006, 12:20 AM | #5 | doesn't care about you.

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. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 12-19-2006, 03:45 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 | Quote: Originally Posted by aceyx The new PCIIIs are USB.

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. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 12-19-2006, 01:13 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 | 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 __________________ BMW...MY NEW TOY Mods: Some plastic parts, ///M Wheels and me | | | 12-19-2006, 01:16 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 | __________________ BMW...MY NEW TOY Mods: Some plastic parts, ///M Wheels and me | | | 12-19-2006, 05:56 PM | #10 | Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 91 | i would be interested. i'm still not sure how i'm going to tune mine after the turbo goes in... i haven't read up on it all the way but this seemes pretty cool so far. what do you think dusten? will it work well for me? __________________ 92 4-door LTW Iron-oxide/air muffler | | | 12-19-2006, 06:07 PM | #11 | doesn't care about you.

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. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 12-27-2006, 01:13 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 | any news or new info dustent?? __________________ BMW...MY NEW TOY Mods: Some plastic parts, ///M Wheels and me | | | 12-27-2006, 05:08 AM | #13 | doesn't care about you.

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. | | | 05-27-2007, 10:24 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Europe Posts: 136 | Hi guys, now I have my power commander 3 usb! 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... | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
