shocker, how have you installed a knock sensor, what does it actually do and how are you using it to help control your engine???

sorry for all the questions, im just really intrigued!!

do you not think that 60-70F is high?

I emailed them and got a reply. The M42 SC is in the final stages of developement and not yet completely ready for the market place. I was surprised based on the ad in Roundel. The price is not yet determined.

There's a diy method: http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/article.html?&A=0353

Or you can get an LED based unit like J&S knock sensor unit.

So am I. I figured since it was advertised in there they had it... Especially in a magazine like roundel.

It's an m62 Eaton supercharger. And the only kit that Chris at Understeer.com sells is the Downing Atlanta Kit.

There are/were a couple hack companies that tried really hard to make a kit, but they are all garbage. The DASC kit is by far the best kit on the market for m42/m44.

The knock sensor is from a friend of mines Nissan 240 project� no idea what it came off of but works it�s a stand alone unit that tells me when I need to back off the timing. and no 60-70F isn�t that much more a turbo with intercooler will probably add the same amount if not more but depends on the PSI.

Like shocker says, 60-70F is not that much compared to the heat a turbo sistem creates.

shocker, what kind of boost are you running? and what compression ratio? also, have you stroked your engine or is it still a 1.8?

12 PSI on a bone stock 1.8 with no problems.

FYI GRM did the conversion for about $3500 iirc. I'd expect the end kit to cost around $4k, which is a good deal as far as quality forced induction goes.

Does the A/C compressor need to be replaced to convert to serpentine belt, or is the pulley removable?

1991 E30 M42 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 23, 2007, 06:16:47 AM »

Anything can be removable with a big enough hammer.

gundy318 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 05, 2007, 09:02:03 AM »

anyone interested in trying to get a group buy going once the kit comes out for the e30?

FL318is · « **Reply #28 on:** April 06, 2007, 07:46:40 AM »

I am interested.

EducatedFool · « **Reply #29 on:** April 06, 2007, 09:37:39 PM »

+1 to that.

I'm trying to buy another M42 just for the purpose....
