MSV80 to MSV70 engine management swap - what is needed?

[DesertBMW]

The way I see it here MSV70 has separate relay for the injectors and one more extra wire when compared to MSV80. This means that one really needs the MSV70 engine harness. Doesn't say anything about EKP...

I bought my swap project donor car 2007 328i for very cheap and it has the dreaded MSV80 with water damage but I want to go MSV70 route anyway. There are people swapping MSV70 to MSV80 and it just needs...

I always wondered on M20 e30s if the oil cooler is something that the engine really need or it is just a sale gimmick. Then on E28/E34 5 series there is no oil cooler on M20 engine and the chassis is...

hoveringuy, keep up the good work

you found abandoned 325e that needs full restauration of everything and first thing you are thinking about is JZ swap like JZ has magical powers it will instantly restore that rusted rotten fuel tank...

It probably just had torn intake boot and ran very lean with misfire, now you did all that with ignition wires and got the firing order all wrong

Reason why you think stock E32 feels a lot better than your E30 is because your swap was never done right. As soon as I saw you had solid motor mounts and half of suspension was all aftermarket poly urethane...

another proof these engines are "one time use"...

[DesertBMW]

Can't be. The propeller is metal and it can't fail, the plastic one is the one that falls off. And you said that you transferred used water pump from the engine that was all good. why not just admit you...

[DesertBMW]

yeah but for S52 you want the MS41 system, it is better, why put OBD1 on S52? You are doing it the outdated way....

[DesertBMW]

you really can't catch a brake with this swap, it was a lemon from the start

[DesertBMW]

I am sure you figured it out by now

[DesertBMW]

no you didn't run it hot enough, if there is air in the system it will never open. It was that, that is why you are too ashamed to post what it was...

[DesertBMW]

that is because the thermostat did not open, there can't be any flow into the top radiator hose if the thermostat is still closed. LOL

authority chip is the stock chip with maps tweaked, then why did you tell BAR referee that you got a chip in the ECU that was manipulated? There is no other way that they can tell it is not stock unless...

I did N55 swap into E36 so the whole procedure will be very similar, you can watch my whole instructional video on youtube. Then what is the point of having N52 in E46? It will not feel any better than...
