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]

MS43 e obligatorio com M54.

[FredE30]

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

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

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.

LOL. Quit thrashing my post with something you know nothing about.

I have one of Ergen Motorsports MS43 ECUs running an M54B30 in a non E46 chassis - it has the EWS working, so please do not tell me I know nothing about it I have the engine to prove it works.

Its clear from reading many of your posts you know a lot, but by your own admission elsewhere you do not know how to work around the MS43 ECU - as you have stated your solution uses emulators and is a poor solution which will fail given time.

Ergen Motorsport in UK have worked out how to remove the CAN bus requirements, while leaving the EWS in place. I'm just trying to make sure others know there is finally a proper solution available - but of course they are a commercial company and will not give it away.
