m10 Carb to efi megasquirt

[HOMEWORK]

I'm not going to be doing this conversion myself.

What do you think is a reasonable ballpark figure to have a reputable BMW tuner convert a carburetor car to Megasquirt EFI?

[themoose]

That's a broad question.....

what type of intake?

labor rate?

will you be sourcing the parts yourself or will they be doing it?

how fast do you want it done?

[HOMEWORK]

Labour rate at $120p/h.

Intake from older 3 series.

Tuner to source parts.

[themoose]

could be anywhere from 3-5k with tuning/dyno time. It's the labor that kills ya.

At $120/hr, it could be even more. It might take more than 40 hrs labor and you still need to pay for the parts.

I doubt that you will find many pro tuners that mess with megasquirt. You will have to go higher up the product chain and use what they sell. Most of their customers have enough $$ to go for more than a $300 box.

I want to build my 2002 in stages over quite a period of time. Lets say for now 6 years.

My estimation plan is:

Carb - EFI

suspension

Brakes

5-spd + lsd (all done in same installation)

internals for turbo + turbo + exhaust (all done in same installation)

Planning to have a car that will max around 270-300hp at the crank.

If megasquirt is not used, what is a good system to run EFI that will be helpful when I run go FI further down the road?

Thanks for your help

If you're gonna take six years just change the plan and you won't have to pay anyone to do the work.

Plan:

Brakes

Suspension

5spd/LSD

(at this point I put a fresh motor in)

EFI (MSII/EDIS etc.)

Turbo[/i]

Getting any EFI system Perfect will take a lot of tuning. Getting it to work better then a Carb will be considerably easier. Just because the Megasquirt ECU is inexpensive does NOT mean it isn't a capable system.

Im not sure if that's a joke.

Is it even possible?

Has anyone done it?

How much heavier is it than the m10?

I dont think going down that route is for me, but I'd be interested to see if anyone has done that type of conversion.

A conversion that I was thinking about was the new GM ECOTEC crate engines, an engine conversion is a very long way away for me, and efi then eventually turbo seems far more logical imo.
