Your cost is only the parts to complete the project, estimated $2,000 or less complete 100%. I'm looking for a canidate car/owner now so if your thinking about a DASC and have the cash and a clean solid motor E36 M44 or M42 ti, let me know. What I mean by clean is you take care of your car, good compression, pass my leak-down teat less then 3-4%. I live in 33711, Gulfport, Florida and car would need to be here for one week tops with you here too so you can work on it. You can sleep on the couch if you want or accross the street in a vacant house I own that isn't rented currently, food and such supplied when wife cooks, no charges for anything at my place, all work will happen here. I want to get pictures of every part of this install and notes and create a good thread for the ti owners to install a turbo without cutting frame or any hassles. It will be a alternative to the expensive DASC Supercharger kit with a complete turbo parts list and step by step for the BMW tiT (love tit tag these cars would have). I'm confident the car can boost 12psi safely and setup good 15psi no problem on the M42's with a shot of meth. I would shot for the November month so I could take a week off work to ensure all went well. All parts would need to be ordered in October and I prefer the DME to be OBDII for programming purposes. I do have many parts to throw in like lucas 42.8# injectors and other items I have laying around Any takers let me know? If someone wants to do a professional install book that's fine with me but I want no part of it except my name in it Something I could give back to the board and one deserving member | | | 07-27-2009, 05:24 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Central Florida Posts: 678 | If I'm back by October from Training and don't have to leave soon after to continue my Training, I would LOVE to be that candidate... By the time I get back from my Training I will have the money for the parts, and the drive as well... since I'll be driving from coast to coast.

I just can't walk away for a week. Sorry, John S | I'm in the same boat. Got the money, got the car, just can't walk away from the family for a week. If you wanted to take more time to do it, and do it on weekends, or split across a couple of weeks, i could easily make the drive over there multiple times, and leave the car. DASC hasn't been an option for me as I would want/need the extra cooling that an intercooler gets you. How difficult is it to do an OBDI to OBDII ECU swap? Did metric have to change any housings for things like the crank or cam sensor? That is really all that's different right? I would love to have an OBDII ECU in my car so that I could actually tune it for the way the car is set up. I'm sure I could get more power up top now that it has no catalytic converter.. I've not done cams or anything like that because there is nobody to properly tune the ECU that I have. | | | 07-27-2009, 09:54 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | Quote: Originally Posted by mohaughn I'm in the same boat.

I was under the impression that you were using an M42 with the M44 ECU, or did I have that wrong? Did MM switch your cam sensor to the m44 style? | | | | | 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 | | | |
