obd1 conversion - United Bimmer Community

does anybody know what all is involved in an obd1 conversion? i am thinking about turboing my 328 and can only get tuning for an obd1 ecu unless i go stand alone.

does anybody have the zionsville obd1 conversion cd?

if you want a FULL OBDI conversion it's gonna set you back a lot. I am really suprised you can't get a turbo for OBDII. have you checked AA?

You CAN turbo a OBDII, but he wants to probably custom turbo his 328. Good choice and doesnt want to dump a boat load of money on a stand alone system.

If you do end up getting a stand alone, who are you goign to get tunign from? It seems every tuner has a different preference. You could get haltech probably about $700 cheaper than a tec3

obd2 can only be tuned in house so i would have to drive down to florida and get aa or nick g to do it. nobody has obd2 328turbo software. however, aa has 328 turbo software for obd1. thats why i want details on the obd1 conversion. i already have the manifold which is a big part. i know i would need the obd1 wiring harness, dme, and a few sensors. anybody on here do the conversion or know what else is needed?

thats the problem.so far i have not found local tuners that can tune a tec 3 or haltech e6x or e11. i have been on a local forum and nobody can reccomend one. and it will still prob be cheaper to do an obd1 conversion than going standalone.

Are u sure they have to be tuned in house? Cause i belive Rooz is just mailing his ECU down to AA, and they can do it that way.

they have rooz's software on file. if i wanted obd2 software they would have to put my car on the dyno and make the software. this would be custom software. not just burning the file onto the ecu like they will for rooz.

if i do this i will have some conforti obd2 cam software available for sale.
