Hi all
I've done a lot of reading here and elsewhere about the various 24v swaps but it seems that technology (wiring/flashing) as well as parts availability (ie - can now buy parts that used to be custom such as trans mounts, ever changing availability of header that fit) have come a long way. Many searches result in outdated info.
I would like to ask the community's input on the relative difficulty of the most popular swaps... OBDI/II
M/S50
M/S52
M52TU
M54
My personal interest, which I think others share, is an 'improved daily' swap that doesn't add weight but does add power, efficiency, torque spread. For this reason I lean to the later alum block motors but am finding it hard to ascertain the difference in effort, cost, parts sourcing, etc between M52 alum, M52TU and M54. Any knowledge shared here would be greatly appreciated. Much like some other threads it would be interesting to know how you handled
Donor Motor - year, model, cost
ECU / Harness - year, model or standalone
ECU Elements Deleted / Flashed
Harness Adapter - DIY, purchased, from who
CAN functionality?
Headers - and comment on fit
Brake Booster - year, model
