But all in all im really just looking to make myself an impressive 4 banger. If i can get close the s14 specs (not in torque) ill be extatic! And to Mallard, yes 134hp is right im pretty sure. The 138hp that come from the m44, isn't at the rear wheels, its at the flywheel. My friend has a lightweight flywheel so i thing the loss would be around the 25% mark so hes runny around 180+hp at the flywheel. Im going to be doing similair work to him and quite a bit more, so im expecting around the 220hp mark at the fly, hopefully around 160hp at the wheels | | | 01-27-2009, 08:55 PM | #17 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 | how comes superchips dont work? is it the fuel octane rating is different? there isnt that much difference in the Euro and US spec m42 / 44 is there ? but true , if there isnt anyone willing to buy such a setup, then itīll be an effort to find someone who can source one for you, and is willing to fit it.. __________________ Vin Number decode and Retrofit Pdfs Available Free !

SuperchipsUK is not a common tuner seen very much in the US, which is what I thought the OP was talking about. There are a few different superchips companies throughout the world, atleast two. Any anything can be done custom, although very few people on here pay for custom tuning, and that is usually what stops this kind of project. | | | 01-30-2009, 01:28 PM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 | mallard - that is a beautiful thing! how much did it put down before the owner swaped it for something else?

But the previous post of the 318i.s with 134 hp... are you sure you wrote the correct numer in? from standard , its born with 136 hp? Anyway, i heard someone designed , and managed to make work their own ITB setup with motorbike tbs, and some kind of MS chip to run it. i dont know if it lived though.. | __________________ SOLD!SOLD!SOLD!SOLD!SOLD!SOLD!SOLD!SOLD!

My DME is tuned by Kellener's and I have Apexi AFC piggyback so I can play around with fuel mixtures a little. will see how it goes, do you know if I need to buy anything or everything is in the kit as complete bolt one? do I need the synchronizter tool? thanks, __________________ taishi | | | 06-20-2016, 07:02 AM | #22 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2010 Location: S.

(it does have the Kellener's tuned DME, its just basically remapping and change in timing? but suppose to give out 10 to 15hp) anyways, after installations and some driving around few days to re-learn the new air/fuel mixture, it runs very strong after 4K rpm, from 5K to redline its a different engine for sure __________________ taishi | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
