dme and harness question

[89325iturbo]

If i were to get an s50 with out the dme and harness. what dme and harness can i use? do i have to find another s50 one or can a 325i 413 dme and harness work?

ODB1 vanos, 93-95 325i/is, 93-95 m50 e34 or 95 M3, im not sure what dme i think its a 413 red label...maybe

All OBD-1 VANOS 325i harnesses are compatible. You'll want to a manual one as the automatic harness has a bunch of extra shit in it. (Although it will work too.)

If I recall correctly, the E34 harness ECU connector won't reach a properly bracketed ECU. It's much better to get an E36 harness than it is to add in that kind of iffy factor there...

So a 325i/is manual harness and 413 red label ecu is fine to use with an s50 engine. Would you need a chip for a s50 in the ecu though

So a 325i/is/m3 manual/auto harness from a s/m50tu/ ie: vanos (build between 9/92 to 7/95) and 413 red label ecu is fine to use with an s50 engine. Would you need a chip for a s50 in the ecu though

just fixed it for you not you dont need a chip to run it but you do need a chip for it to be tuned properly

Yes, a 325i manual harness will work. And yes, a 413 red label ECU is fine to use, but you WILL need a chip for an s50. Either from an M3 413 red label DME, or from a company like The Racer's Market or Turner or whoever. They will just need to know what motor/mods and what DME.

edit- Okay, like gregslow said, you dont neeeed a chip to run it, but I wouldn't run a 3.0 with a 2.5 chip. There's no reason not to get the proper chip...

On a similar note: whats the difference between a 403 brownish red and green label DME?

nothing just the chip (program/tune)
