Question for discussion

[Bavdrifter]

The question I have is, Can you convert a fuel injected M10 to a carb or dual carbs?
Just a question I am wondering.

yes, but the question is either why do you want to? If it's tuning, megasquirt would be a bit more effort, but well worth it. The 2002s used carbs.

answer your question with another question. Why not? it would be cool to have a 2002 style motor in an E30.

I take it you haven't owned any small carb'd motors? :P

they're not exactly 'fun' in my opinion. Having shitty cold starts, tuning is a bitch, bad gas mileage, less power, etc...

But if you're down for it, no doubt, have at it. It might be worth just going to a junkyard and pulling the intake manifold/carbs from a 2002. Or get some weber side drafts and go crazy. :)


I am all for doing things differently from the crowd. go for it. :up:

you would be right I have never actually owned a small carb'd motor, well with the exception of my dads 1960's simplicity tractor which is a bitch to start in the winter so I see what you mean there.
I do agree its not the most practical idea.
