holly 180hp. i am doing this thanks fellas. btw what chip is used for the 2.7i??

[kenika65]

just run the stock 173ecu untill you are ready to buy a custom chip or tunable ecu.

What i did is parked my 86es next to an 89i and just swapped everything over and it fired right up

yah thats what i am doing. ok here is the list correct me if i was wrong.

i TB, I CV, i cams, i springs, eta head, i manifold...??? lol is that correct. but i have a 325i head it would be easy for me to just slap the head , harnees and drive it.

take everything off and out of your engine bay that is eta except for the long block. it should look like this.


Then take all of this from an 88-92 i car and bolt it on and she will fire right up:

complete 1.3 motronic harness, ecu #173, stock i chip, oxygen sensor, oil sensor's, temperature sensor's, crankshaft position sensor and bracket, relay's, AFM (air fuel module), fuel rail, dont forget the i spark plug wire with the sensor.

i intake, air intake hose, injectors, throttle body, (hoses that are connected)

i thermostat housing(for having only 2 electrical connections)
i harmonic balancer(for crankshaft position sensor)

And optional but prefered:

i timing chain covers(to work with crankshaft position sensor wire)
i valve cover (hose connected)
i duel exhaust, i single fuel pump fuel tank, fuel pump, i metal fuel lines(for different in length)
i 7000 tach
i 90amp alternator

it is really not that much.
