318i turbo
« on: June 30, 2009, 10:59:09 AM »
i have a 95 318i and i have been doing some research and i was on bimmer forums and i got a couple helpful answers but only a couple. i still have a buch of questions. i also got some good suggestions from a kid in california. this is basically what i have come up with t25 or gt28 turbo, 24# injectors, 7-8psi of boost, tune with safc and/or rrfpr. im having trouble finding injectors for this thing. i believe they have air lines. anyone know what they do?   other than that how does that system sound? any input would be greatly appreciated.

The air shrouds are removable.  Check out the injector thread:

They use a standard Bosch injector internally.  As for the rest I have no idea, but it sounds good!

thanks dude that helps a lot. i found some injectors. the one guy said plug off the air line, but another guy said its for the idle air control. should i go ahead and plug it or will that mess something up?  thanks

I know the feeling. I had 2 on my shelf. There is a reason they are not being used.
