Andrew's S54 Swap

[brokerado]

True you don't have to, but people who make track cars usually want that. So I mentioned I can do it, as I spent a lot of time with IDA Pro to figure out how to do it. I custom make each file so you can have whatever you like. And I know people are also wondering about price - I charge around $2100 for a file with all mods including EWS removal, and a bit less if you don't get the "full package". Then it can go as low as $1800

I believe these prices are very competitive.

To see the s54 swap into e36 that I worked on in 2005, have a look here:

I've dealt with MarkD for my dme tune on my euro s50 and couldn't be happier, service was good and turn around time was great. Mark is a great guy to talk to about what exactly you want done and gives great advice. If anything else gets swapped in my car I'll be sure to return my business recommend anyone to do so. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Mark

parts list for dropping the engine for future swappers?

If I gave you a complete parts list then you wouldn't have any fun. :D

How do they fit? I have a set, the flange alignment is awful...

Yeah one of the flanges was way off. The Chinese need a better template! I had the exhaust shop put them on. They had to use a crow bar or something. Then after I took them off to put longer studs in the engine I didn't have a problem putting them back on. I guess they conformed due to the heat.

Nice work. Congrats on getting it done!
Any pics of the brake bomb mounted?

I'll take some pix later. I mounted it just below the booster above the steering linkage.

I believe if you also do a hard reset of the vehicle, it will reset the limit values of the gas pedal. I've only done it at the dealer so I've used the ISID, but I had to do it to an E60 M5 the other day on the road and a hard reset did it.

Also, the pin #’s for the gas pedal on the wiring instructions and also on the ETM (or WDS) do not match the pin #’s on the actual gas pedal connector. Obviously someone who reuses an old connecter can go by the wire colors, but I encountered this problem because I used a new connector with new pins.

Yes, the ETM lists it as an 8-pin connector, but it's a 6-pin.

I've attached the pinout below for future reference.
