I see you.

And I really oughta be sleeping, not HERE, but eh well...

*waves*

motronic, or something custom?

if you're willing to say "fuck smog", you could go with a megasquirt or efi332 system - hundred and fifty bucks for your own programmable efi board, built by hobbyists, with source and everything.

then you could go E30 M3 style - single MAP (ick!) meter feeding into a large-volume airbox that an individual throttle body setup pulls from. slight throttle lag, but massive top-end power because your intake runners are motorcycle-short.

ever thought of the 325is head/pistons/transmission, 325e bottom end, 2002 chassis? the e30 motor into 2002 is about as much work as an e30 motor into an e30, plus the 2002 means no smog, and in that case, i'd ditch that evil intake manifold, run the ignition w/ an MSD, and put on a stack of weber DCOE's

e30 325is m20 SOHC - lighter than the M10 series four cylinders. it's not a fire-breathing 280hp E30 M3 S14B25 like my old car, but nothing will ever take her place in my heart. le sigh.

The secret to engineering. Beer, usually warm. This is because you think you have a quick problem, you grab a beer, set it down and start working. Soon your beer as warm and you are frustrated. You drink the beer, and thing start to become clear, so you think you've got it, and get another beer and set it down. Then you hit another road block, and your beer is warm. You drink it and things become clearer again, and grab another beer. You repeat this until your project meets G.E.F.G.W. (Good Enough For Government Work) standards. Really, it works. This proccess got me through many a mechanical engineering and programming class. What I later learned is this is the same meathod the original engineers used to develop the technology you are currently using, and by drinking the beer, you are able to "achieve" the same mental capacity they were at when devising the equiptment you are using now.
