Stock 525e short motor,with E30 sump,320 head with 325 cam,325 inlet with injectors,fuel pressure regulator,throttle body and AFM.hazd31 wrote:

Use the 320 ECU with a suitable 2.7 chip,320 engine loom to keep things simple.
This will give about 175bhp(stock 320i is about 130bhp)and torque similar to a diesel...

May be easier for your mate to adapt the manifold,the port shapes are a little different,let him see both bits and take his advice.hazd31 wrote:
