Project Rehab 1974 2002

Hey Lane, yes that was me. I am still planning the turbo but since this project has taken so long, I need to stage my plans and balance with my driving enjoyment. Now that the car is back on the street I am planning to sort it for a few hundred miles. (I've found coolant leaks, minor wiring issues etc). Next step is to complete the FI portion of the update. Once FI is sorted the turbo mod should be straightforward. However I'm likely to swap the diff before the turbo so that increased HP can be put to the ground properly. There's been a ton of great ideas on this forum for turbo upgrades and my mechanic is drooling to do this.

How's your 02 these days? It really looked great when I saw it

After several years of enjoying the carb'd 02 with the electronic spark from mega squirt, I am moving forward with the final steps of the EFI conversion. I am working with Erik at Rathmann Autoworks in Poway Ca to finish up the tricky aspects of the Megasquirt FI install. 

 

Attached below are a few photos of the stock intake being replaced with the new manifold and the custom  throttle linkage install.

 

Not shown are the new fuel lines installed, the fuel rail install, new coolant hoses and neck etc. All done to spec for an 02 conversion as documented by the pioneers of this surgery.

A few pics of the finished install. It's been done for a while but haven't had the time to dial in the software to optimize the idle rpm

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
