Turbo E12
Hey everyone! Has any one ever done or heard of a turbo e12 and if so, would be able to point me towards that info? I would hope to keep the same engine so it still fits without much hassle. I want to be able to add more power without doing a complete engine swap. I appreciate any feedback you may h...

Air Flow Meter
Hello everyone, is there a way to get rid of the air flow meter and put something that will work better. I believe its the reason the car is having some idle issues and I cant seem to adjust it.
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Newer Fuel injectors
They are from a 1991 5 series. I just have them lying around and wanted to see if i can put them in. Definitely a cost saving approach lol. I also put in an adjustable fuel regulator cause my old one may not have been working properly

Removal of Reactors
Hello again, I have followed the "removal of EGR equipment" post to remove all the unnecessary stuff from the engine. My question is if everything else remains stock will the car run fine? I used exhaust manifolds that were from an e34 which bolted on with no issues, and will be connecting...

Newer Fuel injectors
Hello everyone, if I were to put injectors from a newer bmw on the E12, what would i have to do to adjust the fuel to air ratio? And would it actually work or not?
Thank you

Re: Cylinder head
I had a mechanic friend of mine take it out. It was so stuck in there that we had to drill it out. Took a long time but we managed to do so without ruining the threads which I am thankful for. The next issue i predict I may have is the injectors not sealing properly to the manifold. The seals betwee...

Re: Cylinder head
Thanks for the info. Yeah I will be replacing a lot of that stuff while everything is disassembled. Do you guys know in what order I need to remove the head bolts? I want to avoid warping the head. Thanks again.
