Guys,

I can`t find or there isn`t one on zone here? I`m willing to do the mod, but struggling to understand what injector plug & play options are available for M20B25? Americans use some 19 injectors from Ford I believe ?!

So far I`ve come to this: I need AFM +warm up and stretch rubber boot or get made one up +cone air filter +cold air box +ECU mapped for correct fuel flow +swap out M20 chip into M30 AFM +dyno before/after.

Just stuck with injectors :cry: :roll:

Hong Kong fuey on here has done this.

I've Been in his car, it pulls very well, much faster than standard

I've read that an adjustable fuel pressure regulator is useful for this also

Thanks Jim. But if I get a list what injector options are available, I could source them myself not from US, then send off for refurbishment to tried and tested zoner. USA is just too far - long delivery, import duties/tax, in case of problems - costly postage back to US.

UK eBay has zero injectors listed by "19 Fuel Injectors BMW E30"

dont waste your time with the M30 AFM unless you will get it custom tuned afterwards to run properly.
