need opinion before i purchase this

[windsor318is]

just wondering if anyone knows why this WOULDNT be a direct bolt on to the m42 engine?? i know the only difference between m44 and m42 would be that the m44 has just 1 belt running everything as apose to 3 seperate ones the m42 has

The m42 and m44 are VERY different. and no, I dont think that is going to be a direct bolt on.

for that price I bet you could make your own kit

how is it any different jordan, that would make this a pain in the ass??

piecing this together wopuld be more cash, id have to get a custom manifold made up and those silicon conectors are not cheap

[Rob]

I dont know if the fitment or anything would be different, it'd probably be close. the tuning would be wacky since later cars have a knock sensor, so you'd probably need to go standalone to do it right


turbo manifolds can be made for less than a grand, the rest you find used.

the kit doesnt require a chip of any kind so i doubt i would need a stand alone. i doubt i could find anywhere around here to do anything custom of that sort

doesnt require a chip? how the hell does the motor adjust for boost then?
