This is the better option, you can then use your existing gearbox, and you can get performance chips for the later motronics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 you will also need to decide what you will do with the oxy sen. run it in closed loop or open loop. with or without, in other words. if your racing it, you should not need it. so you can dump as much fuel in as poss.

pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 so the bottom line is can this conversion be done? is there anything else that may cause an issue? a straight anser is realy needed here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 yes of course it can be done 320 l jet to 325i motronic 1.1? one of few probs i see (OLLIE this applies to you too) is that the flywheel wont have sensors on it for the motronic loom.. i THINK you can retro fit them though. all the wiring though is just a matter of getting the right wire on the car to the right wire on the engine loom..can be done by an auto sparky, or yourself if your keen. andrews race car is a similiar setup..but with the LINk use the cooling system/rad etc that comes with the 325 or your 320 stuff should be sweet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 so if i make the pfl 325i fl by getting a facelift loom and ecu and new crank pully and using my old dissy on the side of the block that should be all sweet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 no..not worth it. how can you use the dizzy in side of block? 325i dont have one keep it the early pre FL motronic, fit or do whatever to use the right flywheel or get the sensors on yours. then just wire it up to the right car loom parts any other way is rangi/nasty and probably more difficult Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) my 325i engine has a blanking plate for the dissy on the side and all the gearing inside for it. so i need new gbox and flywheel? or you reckon i could just drill the holes in the box for the sensors?

bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Use the Front dizzy cap. get a from timing wheel thing and crank angle sensor. Get yourself a 1.3 motronic loom. If you can one without the oxy sensor loom then that would be ideal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
