Here is the deal. I was driving down the street and hit a pothole (regarding my interior lights problem and tach and everything else not working). Anyway, I...

I would like to convert my 84 318i to 1990cc similar to the E21 320i engine. Have a 2002 crank on hand and would like to use the 318i pistons to maintain...
NO! All M10 (and M30) rods are the same. You need 2002 pistons, or custom ones. The goal of using the same pistons for head/piston compatibility is ...
Yes you need crank and rods but consider checking the rise-pin height as it will affect the stroke. Consider getting the intake manifold as the engine needs to...
And yet another thing to consider is the M10 block used. The 84-85 M10 block was shaved of weight which made it less capable of boring out to 93mm. The older...
Might it be simpler and cheaper to drop a 2002 motor into the engine bay? Plenty of fuel injection conversions were done to 2002s - using the 318i fuel...
What are the horsepower and torque differences in these engines? Also can I turn my M42 into a 93mm M3 engine, by just boreing it out? Thanks, Blake Also, to...
Ok. The megasquirt is installed and the car has been running happily the last few weeks. Even with seat-of-my-pants tuning efforts the car is just about as...
Very cool Eric! I'll be ordering my MS system very soon... any hints/tricks I should look out for would be much appreciated (anything from placing the order to...

With a chip, is that what you mean(i.e. Jim Conforti chip)?!? I was thinking about getting one of those, how much better do they make the engine? Thanks...
I am a certifed Texas rep. for testing and, you can pass the test with a turbo if you run a lite air/fuel mixture, and get the car really warmed up first. That...
Thomas, any idea yet to what kind of power your car puts down, you should bring it down here for one of our dyno days to see how it actually runs. I still have...
Hi Blake, Eric is the one who has to pass the emissions test... I'm the guy with the turbo and already passed our local emissions test last month (with cat)....
Hi Mel, I'd only be guessing right now and I have yet to floor the gas pedal... at best I think I've gone just past 3/4 throttle. Once I have the MS installed...

If you really want to do this go to www.roadfly.org and enter the E30 forums. Look for a guy named "Blunt". He's done the swap your talking about and can...
I second that opinion, a 318i with S14 engine will never be as good as an M3, unless you spend a lot of money and by then it would have been much cheaper just...
