    Absolutely @mike472. I thought about this but am trying to make my initial investment work. I'm making some headway by searching old tuner forums circa 2005! If I have to swap ECUs at some point I'm definitely going for something fancy and new with lots of support like a Haltech 1500.

    Yeah I have a Nissan TPS that accurately gives throttle position. I don’t know enough to argue about what control philosophy is best but I know from reading lots of EFI books that alpha N works just fine unless you’re boosted. ITB need alpha N cause you can’t get a representative manifold pressure reading.

    Thanks @Dudeland. I watched a bunch of the videos from Evans Performance Academy and he just uploads a base tune from file. I don't think he starts from scratch in his videos. My setup is the following '83 318i intake, fuel rail, injectors, 325i throttle body 36-1 trigger wheel from Ireland engineering GM style coolant and air temp sensors Jeep style IAC Bosche 4.2 UEGO O2 sensor MSD DIS style dual coil for wasted spark AEM Series 1 ECU Just looking for a base map to get the damn thing started. Just looking for basic alpha-N, batch injection, and wasted spark. Should be simple. AEMpro may be the most unintuitive software imaginable. No wonder no one wants to work with it anymore.

    Hi everyone. I was convinced by a local tuning shop to use an extra AEM ECU they had kicking around. Turns out its a series 1 and AEM no longer supports it! Of course I found this out after finishing my whole conversion. The software is beyond difficult to interpret and the manuals are terrible. If anyone knows a good tuner that could help me with a base map just to get the thing running I would be happy to pay for this service. Please help!

    Thanks @jimk and @flagoworld! you guys rock!

    Hi Gang. I may be missing something obvious but when I put the Nissan TPS on my 325i throttle body using the adapter from 02again, the voltage is around 5 and closed and 0.5V at WOT. My AEM series 1 doesn't seem to like that. Do you all have this same voltage sweep? 5V to 0V as you go from closed to WOT?

    Bump. $100 shipping included!

    @esty that could mean anything! Are you his attorney?

    Is this chassis all steel and primer? Any body filler remaining? How many body panels were repaired or replaced? Most of the panels seem wavy.

    Brand New in box. Bought from ECS Tuning 3 months ago. The ECU I ended up getting has a wide band controller built in so don't need this kit anymore. Just want to recover some of the money I spent. ECS Tuning part number 4220363 Listed at $225 $180 shipping included

    I saw these dimensions on another chat and was confused why my manual which I downloaded from this website lists the “B” as 959mm and not the 956mm shown above. Curious as to why the 3mm change.

    Thanks @tech71 I did see that diagram but my measurement is giving a slightly different number. But I believe variability can be accounted for by the movement of the diff and CSB. FYI - I would confidently alter the original prop shaft by measuring the difference in the transmissions. If the original shaft worked properly for 50 years, subtracting the difference between the transmissions at the installed guibos has to mathematically work.
  14. ExpensiveHoby
    Thanks guys! It all makes sense since my car is a ‘73 that was born Oct 17, 1972.
  15. ExpensiveHoby
    What is this switch what appears to make contact with the gear selector shaft? I know its not the reverse switch as this is on the transmission itself. No electrical diagrams show anything like this.
  16. ExpensiveHoby
    The prop shaft you install needs to have the flange that matches the output of the G240 that you have regardless of what it is. Easiest thing to do is to take the prop shaft from the 2002 and get it cut to the shorter length and weld on the flange of the prop shaft that was originally mated to the G240.
  17. ExpensiveHoby
    Can you please let us know the difference in flange lengths? Specifically the distance between the bell housing side of the two aluminum bars. I am also doing a 240 swap into my '73 and from what I have measured the difference in the length from bell housing to far side of guibo is 48mm (1.88"). This means the original prop shaft has to be shortened by 48mm.

    This post has conflicting information. The posts with pictures are saying the opposite of what Mike said in the issue of Roundel.

    Hello All. I have come across these two little beauties in a yard of a European Car Mechanic. The sad thing is his significant collection is all going to be sold or crushed in the coming months as he's closing down the business. I had a good chat with him and committed to getting the word out to our community to try to same this stuff from the crusher. The paradox here is that he's not cheap. I know, it doesn't make sense to ask for market prices or send to the crusher but its not my yard. He has mostly E21 and E30 stuff but I saw a 2002 nose there. Good option for those of us upgrading our cars. He has a few Getrag 240s and possibly some diffs. He's not up to speed on all our 2002 lingo so he'll need easy way to identify what your looking for. I just bought off of him an entire M10B18 for the EFI conversion stuff. If anyone wants parts off that engine let me know. 1.8 Cylinder head, Large two piece oil pan, Fan clutch, Engine internals... Anyhow, I want to try to keep this stuff from the crusher so PM me your looking for something and I'll work with him to find it. Thanks.

    Noob here. Why do people want to install 1.8 heads on their 2002s? I have a line on an M10B18 engine but I think its too expensive for the few parts I need off of it. If I could offset my initial cost by selling the head or keeping it if someone explains why I might want to install it on my '73.
  22. ExpensiveHoby
    When thinking long-term, I'm hesitant to want to rely on parts from other irrelevant vehicles as they are likely to all be crushed unfortunately. It seems we use Jeep for IAC, Nissan for TPS, or Cavalier TB, and Ford for EDIS. I can get away from Ford by using smart LS coils but haven't figured out the throttle body stuff yet.
  23. ExpensiveHoby
    Thanks so much @jimk and @Healey3000 for the prompt responses on this old thread. You guys rock. FYI I’m converting my ‘73 Verona to EFI and DIS. I was hoping that by 2023 you could buy and aftermarket throttle body with TPS, IAC, and IAT.
  24. ExpensiveHoby
    I'd love to know more about this throttle body. part number or model year and engine of cavalier it came off of. How did you figure out the pinout for using the sensor and motor?
  25. ExpensiveHoby
    Couldn’t you just get a competent machinist to cut a 36-1 pattern into the OD of the inner v-belt flange of the AC pulley? Then smooth out the edges and make sure you AC compressor alignment is correct to not eat the belt.
