The comprehensive DOHC engine swap thread.

You spent about $400 on wiring adapter. Have you tried contacting the vendor?

Good advice to Jon at Treehouse, I have called a few times now and he has been very helpful. Would like to know what you find out, b/c I have the treehouse adpt as well and Your ahead of me on the swap.

The fuel pump on my m50tu swap isn't turning on??!! The blue relay is getting power, I'm using a treehouse racing adaptor. The engine is getting spark. I don't get it.

I checked and there is no power going to the fuel pump, and no power going through the fuel pump fuse in the fuse box. Anybody got any ideas??

Also, I did s50 cams and a turner chip, but i don't think the chip would effect anything...

pull the fuel relay and jumper it. See if power is coming to the relay. When you look at the socket, the jumper pins are at 6 and 9 o'clock if the slot for the odd ball pin is considered 12 o'clock.

silver or red label ECU? its possible you may have EWS...i had the same issue with mine, getting spark but no fuel :)

I can start my car with a silver label and a red label. Is the 95 m3 silver label an exception to the EWS rule?

i had a silver label ecu and the build date on the car was 10/94, there's a chance you may have EWS...

My point was that it doesn't matter weather I use a silver label or a red label. My car starts and runs and drives.

I didn't do any wiring for the EWS, so that is why it puzzles me about the silver labels and EWS.

Speed Sensor Delete; Why?

Why would the chip for the DME need to have the speed sensor function deleted?

Yeah It can run and drive until you chip it with a chip not designed for a silver label with EWS , in his case he has a turner chip. if its a silver label and hes running a red label turner chip it obviously will not work because the chips must be aligned to the ECU for units with EWS if i remember correctly...

I hav a 1/94 build date e34 and it has a silver label.

I got an S50 from an Automatic 95 M3...will the harness work with a manual trans or will I have to source a manual one

[White325is]

You can use the S50 harness. You can either leave the automatic harness or remove it.
I followed the link in the DOHC wiki site...
