now then, ive been posting stuff in this forum far a little while tryin to figure out how to get my 318i m10 engine conv finnished. you see i cant source an engine wiring harness/ecu anywhere.

however i have found a 316 carb +loom for 60 quid. is it possible to change the fuel pressure for a carb (leccy pump) and run it on the injection head. and will i need to "stage 2" the carb to do so?

Tickle where abouts are you?

I only ask because surely you can get the parts you need from a breakers yard?

There are 3 different 318i(M10) in my local breakers,so cant see them being that hard to find!
