Hello folks...
I hear that there is a lot of good info on this site regarding the little 4 bangers - so I decided to join.
Hope it dont turn you off too much that it is an M44...
Looking forward getting good ideas & problem solving tips from this site.

Anyway, here she is... 99 318ti M44
Marko

thanks man... its still a work in progress with a long way to go - but hey, thats what long cold winters are for.

Oh, yeah - its actually a Downing Atlanta system - which in reality is a Magnuson supercharger with Eaton internals & seals.

Total sleeper!

Have you had it on a dyno yet? How does it feel?

marko · « **Reply #5 on:** October 27, 2008, 06:22:38 AM »

no, no dyno yet... according to Downing Atlanta, the HP should be around 200 - depending on the condition of the motor, state of tune, etc... I have 165k, and so I do not think I'm nowhere near 200.

collecting Metric Mechanic parts as we speak (pistons/rods/head + remap with larger injectors & smaller SC pulley + lightweight flywheel), for a total rebuild - once the motor has been rebuilt, I'll dyno it.

after its all said & done - if I end up with 200 (on the wheels), I would be more than happy...

is it a PIA to change your oil filter being that based on the pic above, it seems the oil can is obstructed?

marko · « **Reply #7 on:** October 28, 2008, 06:26:12 AM »

no, not really

I just detach the fuel pressure regulator & zip-tie it up and away from the filter cap - and once I'm done, I just put it back.

total sleeper.............jealous of your DASC!!!!

thank you for the compliment - but, believe me when I tell you that I still get blown away by stock turbo 2.0 FSI GTIs.

I think my engine is just too old at this point... 165K.

No biggy though, once I finish my rebuild with Metric's internals + remap + smaller pulley + larger injectors - I should be good to go.
