M54 (dual vanos engine) swap thread. MS42, MS43, MS45.1

[mike25]

Ergen Motorsport in UK are now supplying an MS43 re-programmed to allow the M54 to be swapped into a non E46 chassis.
Contrary to popular belief the EWS does not have to be removed, only the CAN bus feeds from such as the binnacle ABS etc is removed, allowing the security of the EWS to remain.
Contact Adem Ergen - he really knows his way around BMW ECUs.

Can you code out the necessary items from the m43 dme with an autologic? If not, who provides the custom tune?

I do all the coding for a swap, I have stand alone MS43, you just plug it in, no need for EWS stuff. PM me

O esquema elétrico é muito parecido.
eu Estou a pensar em aventurar-me,
Não consegui ver grande diferença na Fiação e Eletrónica

Bom dia
Eu estou montando um M52TU 286S2 528i de 1999, em E30
Vou manter junto do motor, o EWS, juntamente com cave,
e está a trabalhar certinho

Gostaria de saber se eu posso fazer o mesmo com M54 306S3,
ou é obrigatorio montar a fiação e electrónicos do MS43

obrigado por toda a ajuda no fórum

[DesertBMW]

I wonder if I can do the same with M54 306S3
or is compulsory and electronic wiring MS43

Escribeme la pregunta en el castellano porque no entiendo lo que estas preguntando.

[FredE30]

Sorry for the mistakes, I'm using a translator

good day
I'm riding a M52TU 286S2 528i 1999 in E30
I will keep close to the engine, the EWS along with basement,
and is working straight

I wonder if I can do the same with M54 306S3
or is compulsory and electronic wiring MS43

thanks for all the help this forum

You sure seem to do a lot of hating on the M54 for somebody that can't tell the damn difference :yawn:

I have one in my grocery machine; I can hate on the m54 all day long.

Do you drive one every day yourself?
