Posts: 3,156 | It's nice to have the engine mileage properly recorded, and if the cluster matches the DME you won't get the TMU light either. Not a big deal at all, but using the cluster makes for what I call a 'cleaner' install. | | | 02-14-2011, 02:24 AM | #108 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Jax, FL Posts: 541 | I will go ahead and install the M3 cluster from the donor car. As was stated earlier, if I had kept the original 318ti cluster (which had aprox 150K miles) and added the S52 engine/ECU (which had aprox 77K miles), that would’ve activated the TMU light. What would the odometer reading be? 150K or 77K? Also, what happens when I sell the car? Will there be a discrepancy on the paperwork? Now I have a different question. How do I remove the hose/valve from the booster? This is from the donor car and I will need the hose and valve. Thanks again for all your help. | | | 02-14-2011, 02:44 PM | #109 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | You have to cut the clamp off the hose. Install the M3 chexck valve and hose. I could not get my check valve out (without destroying something) so I left the ti valve and used the M3 hose. Works fine. Just be sure the hose is not pinched (and clamps are tight- use regular hose clamps) what ever you end up doing. | | | 02-18-2011, 06:31 PM | #110 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Chicago Posts: 111 | Jim, the guys found the manual and after lining up the EWS, car came to life! Just some codes to work out. Right now, we have a connector pipe running from the stock M52 header to the stock Ti exhaust. What do you guys do with exhaust? Should I just have the shop fab some 2.5 piping and run a vibrant muffler? What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance. __________________ "Never trust a big butt and a smile" 97- 328Ti (daily) 01- S2K (auto-x, cruiser) 96- JDM Integra SiR-G turbo (1/4 mile, auto-x, road course, show) | | | 02-18-2011, 08:02 PM | #111 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | I figured it was EWS from what they were saying... For the head pipe, run the 2.5 exhaust. After the cats, make up your own. That seems to be the easiest way to go. Or, if you want a bit better flow, find a stock M3 exhaust (headers and cats) and fab up a dual set from the cats back. In the manual I detail what I did, and you could do the same. This keeps the lambda sensors happy too, so no annoying codes later... | | | 07-17-2011, 04:54 PM | #112 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 | What SSK will fit the ti with s52 and zf? I tried reusing the ti shifter but its to short. Do I need e36 m3 kits? __________________ | | | 07-17-2011, 04:58 PM | #113 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | Yea.

Posts: 5 | little help on my M50 Swap to 96 Ti Ok Here we go. I am swaping a 1994 325IS motor and bits into my 96 318Ti so, I have already swaped over the ECU and instrument cluster and engine harness plus a Turner Chip w/M3 cams. my quesion is do I need to do anything with the STUPID EWS? Will my car start if I am swapping eveything over and basically make it a 1994 Ti? a little help is appreciated! | | | 04-16-2012, 12:51 AM | #117 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Jax, FL Posts: 541 | The EWS part of the equation only applies to the host vehicle (1996 318ti), correct? I believe the donor parts will not be an issue since they didn't have EWS? Sorry I'm no help but there are a lot of knowledgeable folks on here who will chime in. Best of luck. | | | 04-17-2012, 03:08 AM | #118 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Austin, Tx. Posts: 5 | i appreciate your input.
