different tact, anyone want to sell their used booklet?

J!m 07-26-2013 09:54 PM

I replied to your PM Erik.

The manual is still available if anyone needs one.

Thank you!

I do not know if you have answered this question in this thread yet... if so I apologize.. But since my OBD-2 car will be needed to go to the dealer... What is it that they need to do at dealer exactly?

J!m 09-19-2013 12:37 PM

The dealer needs to do the EWS/DME alignment to allow the engine to start.

There are also two other ways to make this work, discussed in the swap manual.

Thanks for the interest!

Jim,

About to embark on a swap, and it looks like the donor is going to be a 1996 328i in my 95 318ti. While I understand it would be easier to go OBDI to OBDI, I've gotten a good deal on a full wrecked car.

Does the manual cover any of the details on putting an OBDII engine into an OBDI car?

Thanks!

Glenn

Jim,

I purchased one of your manuals back in the day (the old one maybe 50 pages). Do I need to pay the full fee to get an updated version?

I would "dumb down" the motor to OBD-I spec. I have some detail on this process in the manual, as well as pictures and sources of needed parts to do it.

Thanks!

Erik, please check your email.

I have been asking for your vehicle information for the correct ETM downloads and your manual is shipping today, tracking 9405903699300219416453.

I assume your 'club sport' is a 1995 model year and not a later sport model, but this must be confirmed. Also, the "S52" donor is not nearly enough information. If you don't know, check the VIN number printed on the back of the head with your local dealer to get year and model of the donor. If you don't have the donor yet, let me know when you do and I'll send the appropriate ETM at that time, as I have done for others.

Correct model and year is very important for the sucess of the project. Eeach job is unique and it is critical to have the exact ETMs to avoid problems and mstakes due to year-to-year wiring changes.

Thank you.

This may have been answered and I just missed it but what swaps are covered in this manual? Is it for a specific engine into a 318ti or is it more general?

J!m 09-18-2014 02:44 PM

It covers any E36 you may want to use for a swap becaue I supply the correct ETMs for both the ti and the donor car.
