    new e30 and $1000

    600 is reserved for bilstein sport/h&r sport/mounts for suspension.

    i have bought:
    remanufactured 19lb injectors- $60
    m30 AFM- $40

    i won't install anything until i have enough to make my engine run well. i'm not sure how adaptive the stock ecu is. will it adjust to the m30 afm? i was told it was basically plug and go. also, will it run too rich with the 19lb injectors?

    i would really love to do a MAF, like this one:

    but i know very little about "piggy back" and i dont know if it's in my budget.

    right now, i want to know if i can use the m30 afm and 19lb injectors with the stock ecu. if not, it's a great excuse to get a markd chip.

    for future reference though, if i found an MAF from an e36, combined with my 19lb injectors, would i need a piggyback/standalone, or would the markd chip work, or both?

    thanks.

      need about $900 to get suspension done right. cheapest bil/h&r setup is on ebay for $700 shipped. bout another $400 for CA's, CAB's, tie rods and all the bushings (via ebay). unless you have a cheaper source already.
