    single O2, all sensors wiring comes from OBDI

    You will need the OBD1 m50 manifold/TB, engine harness, crank/cam sensors, ecu, knock sensors, e34 pan, pickup, and dipstick, etc.

    You will not need the ecu, key/ring chip from the OBD2 car.

    But, you could just get everything (complete engine + DME) then get a ews delete chip. It could save some fundage.

    Manifold, TB, Harness, pan, pickup, dipstick would probably be fine used. Good idea in my mind to get all the various sensors new I would think.


    02 Sensor I use an O2 setup from an OBD1 vehicle correct? For the life of me I cannot remember if it is a single O2 right where the pipes merger before cat or if it has 1 in each manifold...

    Good. That makes the motor that much cheaper :)


    I did search and have most of the information but I wanted to make sure I get everything that I need from this seller since the car is so 'complete' :)

  • 2.8L M52 Swap - Complete engine and then what else?

    So I think I have found my motor. 130K M52 which is currently installed in a 318Ti which was obviously a swap.

    The motor is 100% complete with all accessories and the engine harness. Flywheel attached

    My plan is to OBD1 swap before it goes into the E30. So do I need the OBDII ECU? Key? EWS/Chip from the key or anything else I should try to get since the motor/car is actually complete right now?

    Then I need an OBDI Harness and some sensors and the correct ECU and a chip from what I understand. Is that correct? What is the part number for the correct ECU?
Working...
