Free Turbo Install offered by xxxJohnBoyxxx

[xxxJohnBoyxxx]

I want to do another turbo install but on a ti and will do it for free but the owner needs to help and bust his hands and head as much as me. Your cost is only the parts to complete the project, estimated $2,000 or less complete 100%.

I'm looking for a canidate car/owner now so if your thinking about a DASC and have the cash and a clean solid motor E36 M44 or M42 ti, let me know. What I mean by clean is you take care of your car, good compression, pass my leak-down teat less then 3-4%. I live in 33711, Gulfport, Florida and car would need to be here for one week tops with you here too so you can work on it. You can sleep on the couch if you want or accross the street in a vacant house I own that isn't rented currently, food and such supplied when wife cooks, no charges for anything at my place, all work will happen here. I want to get pictures of every part of this install and notes and create a good thread for the ti owners to install a turbo without cutting frame or any hassles. It will be a alternative to the expensive DASC Supercharger kit with a complete turbo parts list and step by step for the BMW tiT (love tit tag these cars would have). I'm confident the car can boost 12psi safely and setup good 15psi no problem on the M42's with a shot of meth.

I would shot for the November month so I could take a week off work to ensure all went well. All parts would need to be ordered in October and I prefer the DME to be OBDII for programming purposes. I do have many parts to throw in like lucas 42.8# injectors and other items I have laying around


Any takers let me know? If someone wants to do a professional install book that's fine with me but I want no part of it except my name in it

Something I could give back to the board and one deserving member

If I'm back by October from Training and don't have to leave soon after to continue my Training, I would LOVE to be that candidate...
By the time I get back from my Training I will have the money for the parts, and the drive as well... since I'll be driving from coast to coast.
Just throwing myself in the running
This has got to be the COOLEST OFFER I have ever encountered anywhere...
John you're a class act!... and a BADASS MOFO for completing this project many have set out and never been able to complete!

Hey John

It's me Eric. I've got a lot of tools, a compressor, professional jack & stands. Could you do the job up here in NY?

Make a trip of it and go to NYC.

Sorry got to come to my house. There are special tools needed that I made. Need a TIG argon reverse for Stainless and Aluminm welds, need a cheap Mig100 flux-core. I have wife and two sons that I spend 3-4 hours with them each day explaining how these motors work and playing games getting them involved with the projects even it is just getting sprayed down with a hose when I clean the driveway. I just can't walk away for a week. Sorry, John S

I'm in the same boat. Got the money, got the car, just can't walk away from the family for a week. If you wanted to take more time to do it, and do it on weekends, or split across a couple of weeks, i could easily make the drive over there multiple times, and leave the car. DASC hasn't been an option for me as I would want/need the extra cooling that an intercooler gets you.


How difficult is it to do an OBDI to OBDII ECU swap? Did metric have to change any housings for things like the crank or cam sensor? That is really all that's different right? I would love to have an OBDII ECU in my car so that I could actually tune it for the way the car is set up. I'm sure I could get more power up top now that it has no catalytic converter.. I've not done cams or anything like that because there is nobody to properly tune the ECU that I have.

What year motor? what year car? The OBDII swap I've never done. I have a OBDII ECU, EWS & Key sitting here minus wiring and sensors

[minicoop900]

Trying to be sworn in by mid August for the National Guard. Going to Basic, come back, then go to OCS when I get a spot...

why u have to live in FL, is so f ing far from WA that the shiping of the car prolly would cost more than the parts and everything else, if i were in FL i would be at ur house right now lol

[HuGo]

Stop being cheap ppl. Go to his house. Don't try to make him come to yours. Wonderful offer johnny. How much rwhp do you estimate? Or know for sure? What kind of turbo are you using?

[eshtebah]

What a tremendous offer JohnBoy. Ever thought of coming to New Zealand for a holiday?
I have a 1998 M44 that is dying to go faster!!

Car and motor are both from 95. I was under the impression that you were using an M42 with the M44 ECU, or did I have that wrong?

Did MM switch your cam sensor to the m44 style?
