Currently in my area there is a good deal on a m52 OBD II swap that I want however my Ti is obd I how hard is the conversion and if there is another thread on this topic wanna... direct me thanks guys | | | 04-07-2011, 08:34 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | The common deal would be to do a OBD1 conversion on the OBD2 motor. But I keep seeing that as long as you have the full engine harness, ecu and cluster your fine.... Watching this with interest.

Some sensors will be different without the OBD swap too Maybe someone with more knowledge can help you. | | | 04-08-2011, 03:12 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | I remember someone on this site saying that they did the swap without even converting it, they just kept the engine OBDII without having the OBD plug under the dash, sounds like the simplest solution, you can still get the codes through the round diagnostic port under the hood | | | 04-08-2011, 01:51 PM | #5 | Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: branford, CT Posts: 89 | swap I have done this swap PM me and i can help you out. | | | 04-08-2011, 05:14 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | Quote: Originally Posted by lionell247 I have done this swap PM me and i can help you out. | Don't PM do it in the forum so we all learn !!!

Truth?

Truth? Dave | False no programing needed you will get more power from the OBD1 mani ur going to need a bracket if ur keeping the OBD2 fuel rail.

Either one easier? Harder? not worth messing with? I would not think it would be that hard to install teh OBD2 connector unless its tied to teh cluster. I think I saw in a wiring diagram that its tied right off the BMW plug. Just uses the CAN bus or whatever and does not access SRS as well?

I like OBD1 set up chip swapping is must easier, no dme info swapping with a code reader I.e shark injector etc. Also as your car is OBD1 that's the easiest way for you to go. | | | 04-09-2011, 02:34 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | Its not a difficult job to convert the OBDII engine to OBDI properly, hell, there are kits for it and it makes power from the tune, not just standalone manifold swap. The ports for the OBDII manifold are smaller and shaped differently for torque whereas the OBDI is straight and helps with top end breathing, which is where you get your numbers, not a significant increase until in upper rpm4500+ range, where most dont spend their time. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 04-12-2011, 03:47 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Wichita, KS Posts: 111 | Thanks, Blue, I've got a 95 M3 engine in my car, and your note explains why it really comes to life going thru 4500. :-) | | | 05-17-2012, 03:57 AM | #14 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Atlanta Ga Posts: 26 | Quote: Originally Posted by Bluebimma Its not a difficult job to convert the OBDII engine to OBDI properly, hell, there are kits for it and it makes power from the tune, not just standalone manifold swap.

I don't know if it is OBD 1 or OBD 2 but since its a '96 (318ti m3) I willl have to assume its obd 2...i took it to the mechanic and he said it was the DME that was bad....I REALLY do not want to cough up 1300$ for that New DME..i was thinking of putting one of those 413 Red Label DMEs In and bypassing the EWS but i hear its not that easy for 96 and after.....is there any way you can explain to me how to convert it to OBD1 ? | | | 05-17-2012, 04:26 AM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Ottawa Posts: 579 | Quote: Originally Posted by thefredster93 Sorry but i'm a newbie, and i know this thread is about a year old....but i am having problems with my car not starting.
