Okay, so I was just looking on ebay today and I came across an M10 fuel injection intake manifold from an e30. CIS suxs, how feasible would it be to replace the CIS manifold with the EFI? I know that the e30's DME would be needed, but doesn't the CIS's "computer" control the ignition as well?
Jake

you will need the manifold and injectors+their harness, and the MAF meter. With the E30s computer you just need a few wires, not the whole harness as in the E30....
I have the conversion article from the Roundel if you want to read it.

It's easy bolt on stuff. Manifold/injectors/fuel rail/fuel regulator all just bolt straight on. The CIS computer in your '83 does not control ignition.

if your going EFI, i would get some basic management, around 1000-1500AUD gets a very cometent system here.
this way you will get a good tune, and be able to get the most out of your mods, and any future mods - even forced induction if you feel the need.

i know, then you pay for the tuning, but then you know your not going to be loosing power or hurting the motor.

As with any mod, improvement value vs cost has to be considered. Yonkers, would you mind fwding a copy of the article to me (jimborev@yahoo.com). Does the article mention the complete set of items needed?

I would also be interested in getting a copy of the article forwarded to me (hickeywt@bright.net) or (whickey2347@scpwildblue.com)

Thanks!

On a stock or near stock engine Motronic from the e30 is a very smart way to go. Have fun with it and when you want to go progamable give me a shout.

Thanx!

Ken, is this a "step in the right direction" when looking to go turbo within the next year or so? I know I'll need some sort of standalone when the time comes...I recall a few folks using 318i intake manifold/runners, etc., when running MegaSquirt and the other systems for boost applications.

www.2002faq.com has an article on the conversion also. Not from CIS, but putting EFI on any M10.

zac78,
Yes, the e30 318i intake/fuelrail is a good starting point for an EFI conversion-boosted or not.

Have you seen my webpage on EFI conversion? It may give you some direction on setting it up.

Thanx Ken, your write-up was a big help.

What about the std 320i fuel pump, accumulator and fuel lines???

Are they up to the task of handling EFI (aftermarket or custom) ????

Cheers
Windy

Some say they are ok, I used a modern high pressure in-tank pump from an Acura RSX. A popular external in line pump is on the Ford trucks mounted to the frame near the fuel tank.
