I was wondering how to convert my m42 to euro spec? All the parts, electronics, etc. I assume it would be chip, intake, manifold, injectors?? I know eruo specs puts probably over 15 hp stock over US spec which is 138hp.
Thanks for the help/// |  |  | | 02-10-2005, 03:59 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |

Thanks for the help/// | Sounds like a lot to replace for only 15 crank HP. -Chad | | | | | 02-10-2005, 06:34 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: oc-california Posts: 239 |
i was told that euro m42 is around 160 hp but not sure?
the best mods I found to do to these engines w/out s/c is
-reground cams to euro spec.
-dme (chip?)
-bigger throttle body
-stronger vibration dampner for the front or crank
-snorkel intake
-e30 m3 intake manifold(seems to much )
My cars getting back today after inspection so I will see how it turns out. If good, mods on the way.
any other suggestions? | | | | | 02-10-2005, 08:48 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Bremerhaven, Germany Posts: 977 |
The stock U.S. and European M42s and M44s have the same peak power rating of 103 kW at 6000 rpm. That works out to 138 SAE hp or 140 DIN hp. | | | | | 02-10-2005, 11:52 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: MD/VA/DC Posts: 834 |

What are you guys calling "euro spec"? A standard E36 318ti/318is you might buy from a European dealer? | | | | | 02-11-2005, 05:02 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: oc-california Posts: 239 |

thats would be sweet | the chevy pickup? I think you meant S14, or S42. and as far as I know, no one has tried that. do a search on bimmerforums, there's a huge discussion of S42s | | | | | 02-13-2005, 08:25 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: oc-california Posts: 239 |
