| Message: | I live in Fredericksburg, VA and have several carbed 2002s. There was a chap in town with a nice 74 tii, but he simply could not find anyone to work on the mechanical injection on his car. The only BMW mechanic in town had to order a tii tool from Munich and learn "on the fly". I think the owner grew so disgusted, he sold the car after sinking a small fortune into the car - sad. Thus, you are not alone. I am putting a 2.0 litre 320i (77 model) engine into one of my 2002s and because it is injected, the cylinder head did not have the ports drilled for the mechanical pump. I am going to use the carb because I feel the way you do. I purchased a low pressure purolator electric fuel pump to replace the mechanical pumps traditionally used on 2002 carb models. Secret is to make sure you have fuel delivery to a carb, but with not too much fuel pressure. Injection systems generally require higher pressure. Your car may have a pump built into the gas tank - if so you may only need a "pressure regulator". This may be the only hurdle you will encounter. Of course you'll need the intake manifold and the carb - most likely a Weber. Just make sure you buy a new Weber. They have a life span and a used one may have worn guides for the throttle plates introducing air into mixture causing your tuning problems. Good luck, *make sure if you remove the mechanical fuel injection, to keep it just in case you ever decide to sell your tii. James 68 2002 69 2002 71 2002 75 2002 00 528i | ||||
