What I didn't say in the question or should have said was ---- Which models of the 5 or 7 series has the better auto transmission? What is the name of this transmission? Rosario ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 17:22:58 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [uuc] Re: [95 M3] Conforti Software William, I'm no expert, but I think the limiting factor is the injectors. Opening up the intake and exhaust will, in theory, allow more air to flow through the engine. The MAS will measure the amount of air and send the appropriate signal to the ECU. The ECU will then set injection paramaters (how long the injectors are open) to match. As long as the injectors are capable of supplying the right amount of fuel for the amount of air entering the engine, I'm pretty sure the Conforti chip will adapt and properly match it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here. OTOH, if you're actually able to to get so much more air into the cylinders that the stock injectors can't match up, then you'd need either larger injectors and/or a higher rated fuel pressure regulator, and probably a custom chip to match. So the answer to your question is, probably, it depends on the mods that you haven't yet made. I recommend buying the chip now for your current configuration and getting some enjoyment out of it while you're waiting for the other mods to happen. I'd be interested to see if those with E36 M3 experience share my opinions on this. Scott Miller GGC BMW CCA >Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 21:16:28 -0500 >From: "William T.

Out with it... Specs and prices Please! Why sell? using Euro 3.2L? Can't use in WC? Trying to turn a buck? just curious. James- Kim Henshaw says: We have one of these fitted to our E30 race car! Its got Autronic engine management, 292 cams and a big exhaust. Good for about 330HP........ Any comments on this? How much power is realistic from these that will be reliable and affordable (loaded question right?) Do you know the cam specs for Euro Motors? Sorry for all the questions.. I'm in shopping mode as I just wrote my name on the wall at RA a few weeks back. Car is totalled, so I'm either buying or building something new. (probably building) for BMW CCA CR and then SCCA. Gotta be careful though as I could end up in SPO... which is pointless on a humans budget.
