Difference between M52TU & M54 engine

[initialM]

Dear Sifu, Beside than the drive by wire throttle, anymore diff between these 2 engines?Is it possible to convert the drive by wire tech to M52TU?Is it possible to upgrade from M52TUB28 to M54B30 without engine change? Thanks

look for this forum name call "Loafer" he will let you know how ...

M54 has electronic throttle, reverse coolant flow in the head, it comes with largest displacement of 3.0 liters compared to M52TU's largest 2.8 displacement, what else ah?

From my understanding, convert to drive-by-wire would be involved, here's a reply from another forum

Don't know about the rest of the swap but you have a partial drive by wire system in your M52TU, the M54 is full drive by wire. Your throttle body, cable to throttle body and lack of a pedal sensor is a different setup than the M54 cars.

At the least I'd think you'd need the above parts, the engine wiring harness, the ECU/DME and then you'd have to check all the pin-outs on the Siemens MS42.0 DME System you have versus the Siemens MS 43.0 DME system the M54 engine has.

I am assuming if you swap DME/ECU you'll also need things like the general control module and/or others at at the least need to recode them.

You might find more info on autoenginuity or INPA/Ediabas forums w/r/t re-coding, coding, setting adaption values, etc...

Check out the differences in the Bentley manual or stop by some time on a weekend and I'll show you.

* if it were mine, I'd throw another M52TU 2.8L motor in there for less "hassle" factor.

prez of hamsap bmw club, y la u suddenly gatal? u want to change engine? not worth the $$$ for that little extra, which is negligible. if you want the m54 exp, then u need to buy a car that comes from factory with m54. if u want to get more power from m52tu, then there's many ways to undress the pussy. u can ask pussy, he's been undressed many times when he was drunk, sometimes by females but mostly by males.

most impt, what u looking first?

Stroke la.....I got M54B30 stroker kit if you want :65:

Would be a waste of money if you buy the whole M54B30 engine, not cheap.

lol...it all goes back to what u expecting. if u expecting miracles after stroking to 3.0/3.2, then i can tell u now, u better off go zon regency for one year and spend the money there.

unless ur current engine is totally worn down and in need of overhaul, then stroker might be an option as you're already opening up. if u want power, only way is to push air inside, supercharger or turbo. supercharger is easiest, plug n play. good power output, but autobox might end up premature ejaculation if u always keep stroking it unless u're a dark sith master stroker like feizald'zul, then u have to learn the dark stroking techniques from him on how to keep the gbox intact.

but if u want 500whp daily driver, then this discussion will be taken offline, preferably somewhere with nice hot water pools and they're always glad u cum!!
