I have a 88' super eta engine and I wan to know if I can upgrade my engine with a "I" head including all the necesary parts as afm,injectors,intake and ecu.But I can get the whole engine as well, what is better?. Also I want to know if the super eta with "I" head conversion will rev like a regular "i" or less rpm? Thanks in advance... I know that this quiestion has been asked before but I need more info, thanks again...

Yes, you can swap these parts onto a SETA block and have a '327i stroker' engine. You will need the ECU as well, which will then allow you to have the same rev limit as the 325i engines. You will get the torque of the SETA engine, and slightly more horsepower than you would have with a stock 325i motor (M20b25). You do not need to change injectors; the SETA engine has the same injectors as the 325i. You will need the head, intake boot, intake manifold, ECU, ICV, a few vaccuum lines, throttle body, and of course a gasket set. The throttle body gasket is NOT included in standard head gasket sets, so you will need to buy it seperately.
Too bad you're not in the continental US...I have ALL of the needed swap parts that I'm about to sell.

Ohh thanks very much, thats great news!! I know i sound dumb but what is the ICV???Comment

idle control valveComment

I neglected to mention that you also need the FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator) and the AFM (Air Fuel Meter?) for the conversion.

ohh ok i have wonder if that should be necessary but is ok, it sound great!...Another question if anybody knows the answer, I have a friend with a 86 eta, his car runs great but he want's to know what parts are interchangeable to gave more punch, for example what would happen if he put a "i" computer and more things like that....Comment

You should upgrade the injectors to at least 19#Originally posted by GrueliusComment

Another doubt is if the 327i upgrade will need the "I" ecu harness in order to work or I just plug and play the "I" ecu? thanks in advanceComment

No, you need the "i" harness also. Don't forget about the "i" plug wires too.Originally posted by GrueliusComment

So i have to bond my car cables to a "I" harnes?? is that it?, and what else?, my bad im just confused...Comment

you sure about that?Originally posted by KenC View Post
I'm fairly sure the super eta and the i stuff is the same here.......
about 99% sure.........Comment

Yeah, I'm with Rigmaster on this one. I'm pretty sure the SETA's had the same wiring harness as the I's, so it should be pretty much plug and play. Check http://www.strictlyeta.net/technical/328i_1.html, he has an extensive article covering these types of modifications, that should answer all your questions.Comment

Omg so much wrong info. What is needed is 885 head with double valve springs and I cam, late model ICV, I intake manifold, 173 DME, I Throttle Body and intake boot.Comment

^...and FPR, vaccuum hoses for the new boot, and the throttle body.‘Tis by the grace of God that my cars run!Originally posted by LJ851

Forgot FPR but don't need that vacuum hose depending on what boot you get. Also I already mention throttle body.Originally posted by kingston View PostComment
