    Default Turbo'd E34's........successful people ??

    Hey gents.........after researching the past threads and seeing quite abit of interest in turbo charged E34's, I was wanting to see how many are ACTUALLY in the process or done and running their set-ups whether "a kit" or "a full custom" like I'm sorting out ??
    I was also curious to see if anyone has considered using a chipped factory ECU for upgrade maps.........then running a Mega Squirt computer to control 2 additional injectors by the signal of a boost sensor ? My thought was the factory ECU doesent recognise boost,only vacuum and would run as normal with the Mega Squirt dealing with the need for added fuel upon boost.With the MS systems being SO affordable .it seemed a good idea to persue.
    Any thoughts and I'm anxious for your projects to be talked about further.Thanks.

    Talk to Jon about why he went with a supercharger versus a turbo.

    Also, I don't think there's a need for any electrical fuel control, just get a rrfpr. $150 on ebay saves you the $300+ for a built MS setup and the hassle of installing and tuning it.

    best, whit

    um this board is really quiet re the turbo sitution

    since u dont have an M30 i've really nothing to say
    but u can check out the FI section on bimmerforums.com
    which has a number of blown 2.5 liter motors (a lot from
    the 3 series)

    extra injectors is not a good way to tune if u ask me...
    just up the size of teh stockers, get a chip, and use a
    rrfpr - this combo is good up to about 12psi (depending
    on your compression)

    after that u're going really really fast and need to spend
    lots of money

    So those that have Turbo'd their cars are having reliable tuning with simply larger Injectors,Rising rate FPR and IC ?.......and who's tuned chip ?? E.A.T. or others ?
    Thanks for the heads up on the BimmerForum F1 threads....I'll look into them.
    I have no plans for this black 5 series to be fast or record breaking,just faster with more torque when I hit it. I seriously doubt I'll go above 5-7lbs boost with everything stock except ARP head studs and some porting and chipping.This should prove a decent upgrade over the invested time of searching a engine swap etc.( realizing simply buying a different car would be the best way to start)But this car hasn't got a ding or scratch and the interior is as if unused at all.
    If I want to go fast as hell ....I'll drive my Turbo AWD Syclone truck or one of my turbo Datsun 240-Z's. This Bimmer is just for trips and cruizing the roads on nice weekends.
    Input appreciated guys,,,thanks !
