Engine management / m42 tuning

« on: February 07, 2012, 08:07:15 PM »

I currently have a few saab mechanics that I know keep an eye out for a te05-12b turbo. Worst case ill grab a t3 or something comparable. You have been a great help, I appreciate it!

I should be able to run a t3 turbo with no issues also as long as I use the Injectors from the 900. If I'm thinking correctly

I have a full engine/tranny with all the wiring. So should go smoothly with a few mods

I was thinking this was a drop in, but now thinking it may require some modding of the wire harness and or driveshaft, anyone have any info?

How much would you say this build cost you roughly

I know the maf will correct some. But according to him no tune is needed for low boost. Remember I'm shooting for around 5/6psi

So your car runs fine with that setup? No tune needed?

I am just looking for a slightly higher powered car than stock. Not looking for anything crazy just a fun Sunday car.  I'll look into this setup.

I currently have a 325i e30.  I have the chance to recieve a m42 for my car which in my understanding swaps directly in with little to no modifications.  With that said, I figured I would throw a quick turbo set up on it since since I have the resources. Only problem im running into is tuning.  I dont want to spend an arm and a leg on this project since its literally just something quick and for fun.  What do you guys use for tuning thats cost effective and reliable.  I know there are some stand alone tuners for around 1-2k but i was hoping to stay below that cost.
