    Thanks, if you don't mind, can you give me a rough estimate of pricing for the tune and the MAP-ECU2 equipment etc?

    Cheers.

    Mine is a development mule for Map-Ecu2 on the M30.

    You probably don't need to fit a Map-Ecu 2,(maybe Map1, no timing adj) you could get the ECU reprogrammed while on dyno (re-flash existing chip)The cost is the hours upon hours of tuning a V8 on the dyno unless someone has already done one so they have good new mapping to start with.

    I'm not sure there are huge gains to be made in your 4ltr V8, it already is very powerful & uses a hotwire airflow meter. There would be some HP gain but who knows how much, you would have to ask around who has done one and what gains did they get.

    Thats impressive, good job. How exactly do you do this map-ecu etc. I remember you bringing it up once before, but i'm still a little puzzled. Does it reprogram existing ecu or what?

    Regards,

    Ian.

    Thanks Ian, you piggyback 7 wires (give or take)on to the existing ECU (remove my old flap air flow meter), you plug in a laptop into Map-Ecu port, you then alter fueling/timing to your engine, basically you are intercepting values to your stock ecu.You have real time engine tuning available to you, should only be done by qualified engine tuner.The one comment the tuner made was the BMW M30 seemed resistant to any knocking whatsoever, excellent combustion chamber design combined with low 9.0:1 compression + 98 fuel.

    You can add more fuel, take out fuel, advance or retard the ignition timing.Does this help?

    Hi Guys, Map-Ecu did further development tuning on my M30 engine.

    Made impressive gains in power thru more precise tuning.

    RESULTS ARE FROM DYNO DYNAMICS ROLLER DYNO.

    STOCK ENGINE: 123.5kw BP ULTIMATE 98 FUEL

    MAP-ECU 2 (no AFM) 137.0kw BP ULTIMATE 98 FUEL ( existing map tune yielded 128.5kw)

    PEAK POWER GAIN: 13.5kw

    137kw IS A FANTASTIC POWER OUTPUT ON A ROLLER DYNO FOR A STOCK M30 ENGINE. :D :D :D

    THE ENGINE/EXHAUST IS COMPLETELY STOCK DOWN TO THE PAPER FILTER

    Nice retro styling, i'm pretty sure Alpina pulled out the M5/5ltr V8 & dropped in their 4.8ltr M62 engine.

    Very strange thing to do, less pwr, bit more torque. Maybe they couldn't afford to do anything to the M engine, still seems a bit pointless???? :unsure:

    I posted this E21 article a while ago, have a read if you missed it.

    The problem with your wish list is power, 250-300 hp is a lot from N/A. Costs $$$, + the rest of drive train has to support this power.

    post-1048-1211322787_thumb.jpg M3 2.5 ltr BMW Motorsport Race Engine, NICE! pure racing history,

    NOTE the SLIDER throttle plate for min obstruction @ full throttle.

    hey guys just after some info on what you think the best thing to transplant into a e21 is.

    looking at buying a e21 soon and would love 250-300hp out of it. dont want anything turbo and want to stay BMW powered..

    wont want to spend over 10k but are interested in all the options....

    cheers guys!

    liam

    NO TURBO/STAY BMW POWER/250-300HP??????MMMmmm

    STOCK MODERN 6 cyl, NOT ENOUGH POWER

    STOCK M 6 cyl, POWER BUT COST.

    ANSWER: ONLY STOCK BMW V8, ALL THE ENGINE DEVELOPMENT DONE FOR YOU COURTESY OF BMW DESIGN.

    Alpina put one in the E36.

    Make sure you find one that isn't wearing that set of clothes, honestly, look at the front.

    Eyebrow indicators, exaggerated lower headlight curves, front 'bib' air dam corners fall away, the list goes on.

    Amateur design trying to prove something.

    My distaste for Bangle is well documented with BMW now.

    I like the way he said it was the fastest saloon in the world… He obviously hasn’t heard of the Lotus Carlton.

    Nice looking car though, leather could use some shoe nugget and those wheels would be going in the shed if it was mine.

    Lotus Carlton, now you are talking Graham. I still have the Mag article where they compared a trio from memory, Lotus Carlton, E34 Alpina BiTurbo, E500? There are some in depth articles on the net for Carlton engine work etc.

    I wouldn’t say that, it has a nice kit and is already lowered, first port of call for me wouyld be Trade-Me to hunt out some M3 wheels!

    Or some 318i Sport wheels.

    Im not sure if anyone remembers but BMW-NZ has a 318i near the end of the E36’s production run, it features a M3 kit and some nice multi spoked wheels. I remember driving one new and it was a nice little car. Was dark peppermint greenish colour.

    That what our 318is was Graham, end of the run M3 kitted, 17" multispoke alloys, twin cam M44 engine.

    Na, didn't mean it's a girls car at all, she has sorta taken it as hers.The 4 door M kitted version looks good especially with the M black leather interior incl stitched leather door cards.
