m52 question

Post Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:13 pm

right thinking about a m52 conversion have managed to source a non ews m52 loom ready modified for an e30 would it be possible to use this on an engine that is equiped with ews to get rid of the ews ?

cheers

which joker made the loom!

whole cars being broken advertised on ebay as a non ews m52 unless the ews has been removed in the conversion ? :S

want to put an m52 to in my IS but the main thing putting me off is the wireing

If it doesnt have EWS its not M52 management, ive heard of the EWS being removed from the ECU via programming but the cost far outweighs the benefits IMO.

I cater for all 24v wiring solutions BTW

I can vouch for Dan's wiring as I've had 2 looms off him for 24v lumps now and each one has had the car running first turn of the key. I don't do wiring, so a plug & play solution was a must.

This one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E30-325i-spor ... 1641wt_941

From the pictures I can tell you it has an E34 engine loom and a M50 2.0 or 2.5 cam cover fitted so could be anything.
What it isnt is M52

Wiring is easy!

I think Rich was just interested in buying the loom, the ad says the engine is 'blown' low on compression

yeh thats the one was just going to buy the loom,ecu, manifold, ect so all i would have to was get an engine and away i go but if its a mis match of parts it may not be the best way to go

looks like the search will have to contine for a good m52 with all the ews bits and peices which i belive i need the chiped key and barrel aswell as all the normal bits?

Post Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:58 am

right may have got a whole car to get bits from now just need to know where the EWS control unit, transmitter receiver module and antenna is located

no i stayed well away from the cab after all the mismatching got a e36 to rape for parts so just wanna make sure i get every thing i need before it goes to the crusher

Or purple
