318TI BMW Engine
I have got my hands on a 318ti BMW engine & gbox. There isnt any injectors with it, so I want to use bike carbs. Can anyone tell me if there are any isssues with this set up?

you will also have to get a megajolt ignition system as the BMW ECU won't run the engine without the injectors.
I imagine that replaement injectors would be slightly cheaper than bike carbs as well.

Thanks for that, the electronics are not my strong point. I will get the injectors and ecu from the berakers. Is the wiring pretty straight forward?

Depending on what year car the ecu comes from you may have immobiliser problems unless you use the ignition barrel and keys and sometimes clocks from the car you take them from Megajolt and bike carbs is a reasonably simple installation but you will need a custom inlet manifold, not seen it done on a bmw engine yet though so unsure what problems you could encounter As with anything though the ££££ soon add up as you would also need it setting up on a rolling road with bike carbs BoggBothers make some superb custom manifolds if you cant make your own but they cost a bit too |

It's more difficult if you are trying to put bits from different cars together. have a look at www.realoem.com for BMW parts catalogues, very helpful.

bmw is a 60-2 crank pickup so its megasquirt or fit a trigger wheel btw
megajolt must use a edis unit(36-1) als mega squirt will run spark on its own and could be used if you go to inj at any point |
