Pulling a campsite out of my car is one of those things that sounds super awesome, but then you think about it for a bit and realize you should just buy a vanagon or something and eat your food in there.

I have to be honest that a MoTec setup seems excessive for a NA bmw without ITBs or something that would require that type of control.

That makes my point more accurate. So you don't need a $5000 base M800 if your stock ECU is capable of handling the ITBs

I would suggest you look in to the complexity and guarded secrecy around tuning (and disabling integration with stock electronic modules) stock BMW DMEs.

I am not suggesting you use the stock computer. I am suggesting that if your mods are tame enough that a stock ECU could handle the biggest parts you could easily be happy with a Infinity or another setup for a 1/3 of the cost. You could still do all the canbus magic with the infinity or perhaps a older unit. There is not enough input and output need to make a M800 and its drivers worthwhile..

edit:
And I have to agree with the youtube comments. 50k, an engine, and a car. I know what it cost to do these swaps and I know when they are solving problems in ways that allow them to pad fabrication profit with parts profit. I have to wonder if it has a PDM30, ignition expander, and of course it has to have the expensive 1400 dollar DBW4 to power the plate motors.

Also one of my mates built an S65 46M and spent more than £50k doing it only to decide it was rubbish. They sound cool though.

Must've had doctors doing the labor at those rates. A quick look at swap threads and his thread on the car makes it clear that this is about as easy of a swap as you can ask for. Gotta love how anything can priced to the roof when you add the phrase "but BMW...".

In Engine Masters' defense, different audience, different application, different point

Freiburger just wanted people to stop ragging on him for beating the poo poo out of his custom exhausts, on his street-built garbage.

Looks like a awesome angry octopus but I gotta I wonder how much performance that adds outside of the dyno. I get the low end torque bit, but on a Cobra R based mod motor I wonder how effective it would be on a track.
