Engine + Driveline / Re: 7300rpm in stock M42 E36?

« on: October 02, 2020, 03:10:12 PM »

I have a Turner/Conforti chip in my Ti that goes to 7200 that has been in the car for 15 years. It is currently a rallycross car and spends 80% of it's life on the limiter.

General Topics / E36 M3 calipers to fit on E36 318iS discs?

« on: June 19, 2009, 06:11:32 PM »

Not that simple, the caliper typically won't bolt up to the knuckle. As for the disc, if you were to use an M3 caliper with a 318 disc only half of the pad would actually touch the disc, the rest would be too far out.

Won't work

M42 Reference / m42?

The intake manifolds look quite different.  Like 3seriesnut said, you should have the M42 in the '94.  The M44 appeared about 6 months into 1995.  

The intake manifold of the M44:


The intake manifold of the M42:

The E36 M42 and the M44 use essentially the same manifold. That is the E30 M42 manifold.

Engine management / e36 m42 ews chip

I have the same problem. you have an E36 318ti ECU like me
it's a problem i know. and my solution atm is to find a n E36 318iS ECU and do a direct swap.

you should do that same...

There shouldn't be anything about the Ti ECU that makes it unable to chip. I know for a fact that Tuner sells a chip, they don't specifically say Ti but it's the same thing. I have one in my car.
