bit of progress,  got the m44 loom all fitted up very straight forward just need to change one of the temp sensors for the m44 item.  best way to get rid of the air flow in my opinion.  now running a bigger m50 2.5 maf and volvo t5 injectors.  runs nice just needs to have a run on the rolling road to set fuel up

well, we're not to sure, all ran sweet in the old shell but seems that the ecu is looking for something the new shell hasn't got. it was one of the fist IS coupes and pre ews.  tested everything, checked everything its either a faulty ecu which is unlikely as was fine before and this seems the best was forward and  agood excuse to out the airflow. Got a m44 loom and ecu on it way for £30 bargain i thought, then Ive just got to send off the ecu to sort the ews and make the loom fit.  anyone know if its been done before ??

thanks guys, yeah they are m5 rims, originally turbines but without the covers   waiting for a m44 loom and ecu to turn up as the m42 set-up is just not playing ball being in a newer car.

hi all

typing from the UK 

I have a m42 that's super charged currently swapping it from my e36 coupe into a newer cleaner e36 compact.  currently running just over 200bhp at the crank with shell 'v' power fuel and water injection (no meth yet)

Ill try and get some pics up asap

looking for new ideas all the time, looking into cams at the moment if anyone has added cams to a supercharged m42 id like your input

Jon
