WTB Early 320i intake manifold

Recommended Posts

I asked a local e21 hoarder guy if he had any early manifolds available. He said no. Because the sixer guys use the larger runners of the m10 manifold for a performance upgrade. I don't now the math on that, but he said they are a bolt-on..

For a megasquirt project. I like the look better than the later manifold.

Thanks!

For a megasquirst, you need a Motronic intake from an early E30 M10, not the K-jet from the E21.

Anything can be adapted, but the Motronic intake is FAR easier to megasquirst.

^^This. I used a 318i intake manifold for my fuel injection conversion. It was a simple bolt on affair. It was too easy and 02 Again makes all the adapters you would ever need. But honestly, I hate the look of the manifold. And I'm actually on the hunt for a early 320i intake manifold as well!

I do agree about the look. The 4 runners have a much "nicer" look than that funky contraption of the later cars. But how do you attach the injectors? How do you set up the fuel rail? The E21 injectors are mechanical and the fuel lines are like the tii coming from a fuel distributor. Then you have the throttle body. How do you adapt a throttle position sensor for the megasquist?

That's a lot of effort to make something work, just for the "look."

To that I say: Keep the hood shut.
