Each 2.7i build i read is different....

[hurttech]

What do you guys think about the tune? Will a stock chip suffice? I never ran the stock chip, went directly to WAR chip on my 327i.

you want the i electronics. you don't want anything electronic from an eta. if you're just getting ETA parts from the guy, the only thing you need is the short block.

this... ideally get an 88 eta short block (super-eta), otherwise... you just want to start with an e shortblock in an otherwise stock i.

then add MAF.

[acolella76]

for a second i thought you were buying parts off the eta...

you could go with a MAF instead of AFM. That's always an option (a little more pricey though).

Fuel pressure module?

yeah, i thought about that too, the AFM, so that leave the wiring harness?

I called dude, he said he'd only toss in the TB and manifold with the head for $100

so $200 and i walk off with all of this worst case

wait, the TPS for the throttle body too?

You will need the FPR from an M20B25, the engine harness, and the AFM in addition to the parts listed.

Or they lack pictures. I've got a whole 325i thats an 89 thats for my using, i bouth an 86es from the guy and he's letting parts go cheap.

I think im walking away with a complete head and electronics for $100

SO! what i have been scouring the forums, stricltyeta, here and e30tech. But every time im reading, its something different

SO FIRST
what i'm TRYING to do is do a 2.7i build, then turbo after i work out kinks.

So i'm not new to car builds, but i know a little, about a little. I've played with different cars (miata, nissan 240 with SR20, civics blah blah blah) but nothing extensive.

The parts i've listed so far that i know im getting with the $100
1. Intake Manifold
2. Throttle body
3. Injectors and fuel rail
4. Complete head
5. The ECU


What i've found as optional are
6. Fuel pressure module
7. Thermostat housing
8. Spark plugs


Plus, the 2.7i builds have pics that have expired, and imma just say, i'm PRETTY confident i can do this on my own, but i'd like to avoid getting stuck and having my car down

Other than that, i know it drops the comp. ratio and what not, but i'd be probably getting some 600 buck ebay kit.


Am i missing anything? I'm going to pull the parts tomorrow
