Re:

i found wds yesterday so figured out what was what. Ill look for a 36 loom then, unless i can find a nice place to mount the ecu, its going in to a e28 so it may possible be able to fit behind the bulkhead.

cheers

injector wire - LPG install

Sticking LPG on my e28 m10 injection engine, looks to me like it has 4 seperate wires for the injectors that run all way back to the ecu? is this correct?

was much easier on the old e30 with just one wire to cut.

Re:

the second one they say not to touch is just a fine tune idle adjuster which isnt needed to be used at all, theres no other things to set up on it, altho ill give it a try tomorrow to see what happens. measurements of the V would be sweet, i will also measure mine tomorrow.

Re:

nothing wrong with tourings, they are estates so are supposed to have 5 doors, end of the day why would you chose a 4 door when a 2 door model is available, an e30's are not rare and solid examples are relatively easy to find, especially tourings.
