So I bought my most recent e30 ('86 325es) a few months ago and dropped in a completely rebuilt 2.7i engine I built a few weeks later. The previous owner took total shit care of it so the electronics, fuel pumps, engine were all crap - I replaced all of it.
Now I'm having what appears to be a fuel starvation issue and I have no idea how this is possible since literally everything is brand new. The "starvation" happens primarily at half a tank & below but it also happens with a full tank on extended drives of 20+ miles. The car idles fine and runs a little rich because I have the 02 sensor disconnected (haven't put on the i exhaust yet).
I'm considering swapping the entire fuel system from an eta to an i setup. The car will get a brand new stroker/turbo motor next fall including an upgraded fuel pump so I might as well start now (also why I'm skipping over the accumulator option).
My questions are:
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Will there be an electrical issue with the i fuel pump? (aka not enough voltage/wattage")
Would an i gas tank be required?
