I'm picking up another e30 later on this week and dropping it back on my old spax dampers and springs with e46 cab mounts so it'll handle properly again, just need to order some poly bushes.

I've got some e36 m3 injectors sat next to me and after some research I've found that they 24lbs/hr - 255cc/min, what kind of boost can I run off these? I plan on doing a turbo conversion later on through the year but I want all the parts first as I'm still using the car day to day. I'm also wondering is it best to get MS installed before adding a turbo so I can run a base map on the turbo just till I get it mapped properly so I can still drive the car or do I need to get the car mapped as soon as the turbo is installed.

Edit: I also hate any kind of wiring or electronics with a passion, is there a chance of getting it fitted somewhere else.... Ant?

if you can get it to me, or you're local enough that would be my pleasure dude.

FYI, the E36 inj are rated @ that flow but at much higher base pressure ( 4.5bar iirc) than the stock BMW pump can deliver, you'll need an evo or e34 V8 pump dude

MS is the 1st item on the list,. the rest is useless until you have managment to handle the next phase of tweaks.

Just completed Matt G's MS install, very nice too, N/A MSnS'd the induction noise and delivery is awesome, if it stops raining - ever (doubtful) I'll try and get a vid before she goes back to Matt.

Seeing as I have the injectors and got them cheap Ԛ£120 for 6, is it gonna be possible to run them from another fuel pump, I've seen a cheap Walbro 255lph one knocking around.

I need to find a job to get some money for MS, where abouts are you located Ant?

Are they the M3 Evo injectors?
IIRC the 3.0ltr M3 injectors run at 3bar, which is why I can use the E30 fuel pump in my conversion, but the M3 Evo injectors run higher as you say Ant.

I can't remember if they are evo one's or not, I'll have to check with my friend who I got them off. They have been ultrasonically cleaned though and not used since ;)
