My e30 318is s52 swap thread

[OoPEZoO]

It's most likely his experimentation with the following cutting edge technology:

LOL......Fred, you're brilliant. Do you have a patent on that?

[BigD]

FWIW I have Zionsville's OBDI S52 software, I called Dwight to confirm and it's tuned for the OBDI FPR (although I didn't bother discussing actual pressure differences with him if any, I just wanted to hear which one I should use). Talk to matt about what his chip is tested for.

EDIT: ALSO, Matt just emailed me saying that the OBDI FPR is also 3.5BAR... hope he chimes in here as well.

[matt]

Anyone with an e30 should be using the OBDI fuel rail with integrated FPR.

All e36s (that I know of) use 3.5 bar base fuel pressure. (That's 51 psi if you're not into the whole SI thing)

[BigD]

Thanks dude.

I think that pic came from a GM Performance forum somewhere. ;)

so then the Bentley is wrong? did you personally measure the pressure in obd1 rail?

EDIT: and realoem says they are both 3.5bar, one of them is lying

[matt]

Yes, the bentley is wrong. I didn't measure, I went and looked and it's clearly stamped 3.5 bar.

:giggle:

well, well see soon what the issue is, im not buying a manifold till its cracked for sure, i really hope its cracked though, thats an easy enough fix!!

[e30s52]

why not put the obd2 manifold on?

[BigD]

why not put the obd2 manifold on?

Because it's not a direct swap.

[e30s52]

i know. but you can swap the throttle bodies or is thier more to it then that?

[windsor318is]

waaaaaaaay more, and minus the power

Back to the tack comment you made before. I have been doing some research and apparently you need to hook pin 20 on the e36 side to pin 9 on the e30 side. This is only on the 91 318is cars. I will be trying this out when I get back to my car this weekend. I hope you find out what the problem is with the intake.

santa came again, the fucken asshole didnt get the car started though he he..ya so i dunno what the stock exhaust end conectors look like, but this fucken thing is not a direct fit to the cat back end.one end has a flange....but not the other one, its just straight.i looked back on there site and it is designed like that, i dont get it, but no big deal, its anoying to me right now that i cant provide a sound clip to this thread!!back to work...
P.S. worst paint job ive ever seen in my life, since when can WOPS not paint?? i no its under the car but seriously...i didnt get this from the speed corner store shop!!
