22# injectors, See here.
960 cooling fan.
Ditch the PS pump. Drain the rack and block it off.
Get some spark plug wires off an 850. The 4 longest ones will fit the M42 perfectly. Way cheaper than M42 wires. I bet urs are toast.
Search fleabay for the proformance chip. It works. use 91.
Fix the intake
Ditch as much weight as you can.
good luck

What kind of difference does this really make?Originally posted by e30guydownunder View PostRE: adjustable cams. The slots in the cam gears give you +/- 6 degrees on the standard settings. By moving them you can change the lobe seperation basically, all your doing is moving the power and torque curves around, you can get a few hp out of it but apparently absolutely kills your bottom end.

Also, I've got a 318i. No LSD for me. Blew the stock open diff in the snow last year at 175k. I replaced it with a 2.93LSD. It's effectively turned my 5 speed into a 3 speed. It's a hoot around town. 43mph in 1st gear, 82 in second, 120 in 3rd, but not in 4th or 5th. No power to pull it. It's taken quite a few cars by surprise from a dig, not because it's got tons of power, or it's really quick, or anything like that, but because I don't have to spend the time on the 1-2 upshift. Had a few kills, surprisingly. Only problem is that stoplight-to-stoplight repeats are horrible, as the clutch is on its way out. Repeated launches end with slippage.

I swapped in a 3.64 which made the car livable but I always wondered what would happen with an ETA diff. Maybe i'll try it just for shits and giggles.

If I'm doing 65mph in 5th I can downshift into second and have 1600rpm left to wind out. If I do 65 in 5th on flat ground the car gets like 38mpg.
