Here are some new pics. Exhaust is all fabbed and off of the car for final welding.

I have a e36 94 318is aswell and i pulled my injectors and found that my injectors are the same ones as the m44 there the ones with the vacume T to them. now my question is what are my options for bigger injectors?

I got the injector adapters from technique tuning in florida so then u can run standard injectors again. I got a set of Accell 44lbers

hey what are you planning on using for a/f control? some sort of piggy back module or a stand alone?

The car is booked in for a dyno tune at Azevedo Motorsports in NJ on Feb 20th, they are going to burn the factory ecu

Holy shit thats a lot of pipework. At that point I would just mount the turbo under the car where the muffler sits or in the back. But its not my project. Nice work. Can't wait to see the dyno.

cool...i didn't realize that there's support for burning dme chip for e36 m42 engines. i'm currently debating on if i should buy a smt7 or the map-ecu2 to get rid of my afm & get larger injectors to run my dasc correctly. i'm tired of my fmu wasting gas by running rich most of the time.

UPDATE

We got the 44lb injectors installed tonight and the car fired right up with no tune. It smoked alot and the car did idle by itself but was alittle off. We took the car for a quick test drive came back and the computer seemed to compinsate for the bigger injectors and the car actually idled fairly normal with minimal smoke. So with this done the car is now ready for the dyno day on Feb 20th. I will let everyone know how that goes and will try to get some dyno videos too.

Where are you buying your turbo set up for only $1500 i haven't been able to find anything that cheap. i get quotes for $5000 engine rebuild and $3000 turbo. I'm not made of money, so if you can tell me where to find a kit that cheap ill be turboing my E36 318iS as well.

Also, is there a need to rebuild the engine? will the gaskets and seals be able to handle the pressure of boost? I don't want to blow up a perfectly good engine with stupidity. your input is greatly appreciated. thank you.

UPDATE

The car is done and loaded on the trailer. We are heading out Friday at 3am for Philly, PA to drop it off at Vac Motorsports for a Dyno Tune.

Did you do something with DISA?? Will it work OK when boost comes?

Cant believe that exhaust. Thats the funniest shit ever!
That is actually the standard headers, which being 4-2-1 extractors are quite long for a factory car, then the connecting pipe does a 180 turn and up into the engine bay about eleventybillion miles away!
I thought my comments months ago may have set you on the right path to correct research. Wrong.
Thanks though, i laughed hard

Newbies, dont do anything like this, read about successful conversions on m42's and rwd turbos in general.
