2011-2012 Project: Get an S54 running in an E30 using a stock MSS54 DME

[nando]

Whoa, thanks for reminding me. I need to get in the garage! And thanks for the info, Turk, about the reflashes. I got mine done by a guy in Germany, but it's good to know there's an alternative!

I used a Z3M expansion tank hose, which allows for easy connection to the E30 late model expansion tank.

that's what I was looking for, thanks.

BTW, how much did the E46 M3 FP cost you? used I assume? too bad you can't get just the pump, without the E46 carrier.

what did you use to connect the E30 expansion tank? I assume you used the late model version?

I use the original bottle off the car, It was a 325e, I dont know if the bottles are different, but I do know the old 735's, and 635's have the same bottles. I presume thats what you mean?

If you're asking about the pipe, I used the e46 original ends and had them joined to a pipe the correct size and jubilee clipped to over flow.

Hope this helps.

So you can nix EWS, DSC etc and have it running tip top in an E30 chassis.

As above, Yes! its not free, but yes!

Please see the youtube video as proof!

You mean crack it and get rid of the annoyances?

Yes, depends what you want to keep and what you dont. If u want it to go into an e30 then to get it running properly this is the most efficient way to do it.

I too can sort the ecu issues if anyone is interested.

Yes it was imported from Florida.

I have standard e30 clocks and gauges, As long as the car has 5 bar fuel, and power, you can be potentially good to go with existing ancillaries, lamdas etc. Aside from that, some wiring into the car loom is required.

Tread with caution with these engines, if they don't get the exact info they need they run rich, limp, and no where near their full potential.
