BMW M10 engine and Getrag transmission. The engine ran well and the transmission shifted fine when...

Absolutely @mike472. I thought about this but am trying to make my initial investment work. I'm making some headway by searching old tuner forums circa 2005! If I have to swap ECUs at some point I'm definitely going for something fancy and new with lots of support like a Haltech 1500.

Yeah I have a Nissan TPS that accurately gives throttle position. I don’t know enough to argue about what control philosophy is best but I know from reading lots of EFI books that alpha N works just fine unless you’re boosted. ITB need alpha N cause you can’t get a representative manifold pressure reading. 

Thanks @Dudeland. I watched a bunch of the videos from Evans Performance Academy and he just uploads a base tune from file. I don't think he starts from scratch in his videos.

My setup is the following

'83 318i intake, fuel rail, injectors,

325i throttle body

36-1 trigger wheel from Ireland engineering

GM style coolant and air temp sensors

Jeep style IAC

Bosche 4.2 UEGO O2 sensor

MSD DIS style dual coil for wasted spark

AEM Series 1 ECU

Just looking for a base map to get the damn thing started.

Just looking for basic alpha-N, batch injection, and wasted spark. Should be simple. AEMpro may be the most unintuitive software imaginable. No wonder no one wants to work with it anymore.

Hi everyone. I was convinced by a local tuning shop to use an extra AEM ECU they had kicking around. Turns out its a series 1 and AEM no longer supports it! Of course I found this out after finishing my whole conversion. The software is beyond difficult to interpret and the manuals are terrible. If anyone knows a good tuner that could help me with a base map just to get the thing running I would be happy to pay for this service. Please help!

Thanks @jimk and @flagoworld! you guys rock!

Hi Gang. I may be missing something obvious but when I put the Nissan TPS on my 325i throttle body using the adapter from 02again, the voltage is around 5 and closed and 0.5V at WOT. My AEM series 1 doesn't seem to like that. Do you all have this same voltage sweep? 5V to 0V as you go from closed to WOT?

Bump. $100 shipping included!

@esty that could mean anything! Are you his attorney?

Is this  chassis all steel and primer? Any body filler remaining? How many body panels were repaired or replaced? Most of the panels seem wavy.

Brand New in box. Bought from ECS Tuning 3 months ago. The ECU I ended up getting has a wide band controller built in so don't need this kit anymore. Just want to recover some of the money I spent. ECS Tuning part number 4220363 Listed at $225

I saw these dimensions on another chat and was confused why my manual which I downloaded from this website lists the “B” as 959mm and not the 956mm shown above. Curious as to why the 3mm change. 

Thanks @tech71  I did see that diagram but my measurement is giving a slightly different number. But I believe variability can be accounted for by the movement of the diff and CSB. 

FYI - I would confidently alter the original prop shaft by measuring the difference in the transmissions. If the original shaft worked properly for 50 years, subtracting the difference between the transmissions at the installed guibos has to mathematically work. 

Thanks guys! It all makes sense since my car is a ‘73 that was born Oct 17, 1972. 

What is this switch what appears to make contact with the gear selector shaft? I know its not the reverse switch as this is on the transmission itself. No electrical diagrams show anything like this.

Thanks for the helpful replies. I wanted to understand I am on the right track. But had wondered if some how i was in a better position with the 240 box. Yeah I will be doing the work myself or at least that's the plan. I will get the box out on Sunday and then be able to do the same side by side comparisons. I guess I will offer the 240 box up for sizing. Then probably try to source e21 shifter mech.

Next to find a place to shorter the prop.

Is changing to the 3 bolt an absolute must do? My 4 bolt looks in perfect condition. Power wise i am just 100bhp, no rocket ship.

Thanks. I will post my updates.

The prop shaft you install needs to have the flange that matches the output of the G240 that you have regardless of what it is. Easiest thing to do is to take the prop shaft from the 2002 and get it cut to the shorter length and weld on the flange of the prop shaft that was originally mated to the G240.

That would be me however, my knowledge is based on a US spec 2002, not sure how it applies to a RHD Euro spec 1502😉

My car is a US spec 1976 2002, came stock with a Getrag 242.

I installed a Getrag 240 from a US spec 1985 E30 318i 

There are a few differences from the trans you have ( 2 aft mount points, no speedo drive) but I suspect the dimensions (specifically the length) will be the same .

In my case the 240( at the output flange) was a few cm longer that the original 4 speed so a slightly shorter prop shaft was required, this is normally accomplished by shortening the cars original prop shaft and modifying it by fitting the 3 bolt flange from an E21 prop shaft to it by welding. It must also be balanced after being modified, that parts important.

Hopefully there is a specialist shop(propellor shafts) over there that can do the work.

There is a hack that allows you to use a Prop from an E30 but the center bearing support mount has to be modified by fabricating an extension mount.

The E30 shaft has a sliding sleeve the can be adjusted to length.

Thats the route I took because I had a shaft from an  US spec 85 318i E30.

I did the entire swap in my garage, used an slightly shortened e21 shift platform, lengthened the shift rod.

I'm  fairly well equipped for a DIYer  with compressor, welder, air tools ect.

Are you hoping to do the swap yourself? 

Can you please let us know the difference in flange lengths? Specifically the distance between the bell housing side of the two aluminum bars. I am also doing a 240 swap into my '73 and from what I have measured the difference in the length from bell housing to far side of guibo is 48mm (1.88"). This means the original prop shaft has to be shortened by 48mm.

This post has conflicting information. The posts with pictures are saying the opposite of what Mike said in the issue of Roundel.

We can discuss prices. I'm not trying to make money I just needed a couple parts off the engine but the guy would only sell me the whole engine. Pictures available via text. Can clean any parts by sandblasting if wanted.

Hello All. I have come across these two little beauties in a yard of a European Car Mechanic. The sad thing is his significant collection is all going to be sold or crushed in the coming months as he's closing down the business. I had a good chat with him and committed to getting the word out to our community to try to same this stuff from the crusher. The paradox here is that he's not cheap. I know, it doesn't make sense to ask for market prices or send to the crusher but its not my yard. He has mostly E21 and E30 stuff but I saw a 2002 nose there. Good option for those of us upgrading our cars. He has a few Getrag 240s and possibly some diffs. He's not up to speed on all our 2002 lingo so he'll need easy way to identify what your looking for.

I just bought off of him an entire M10B18 for the EFI conversion stuff. If anyone wants parts off that engine let me know. 1.8 Cylinder head, Large two piece oil pan, Fan clutch, Engine internals...

Anyhow, I want to try to keep this stuff from the crusher so PM me your looking for something and I'll work with him to find it.

Thanks.

Noob here. Why do people want to install 1.8 heads on their 2002s? I have a line on an M10B18 engine but I think its too expensive for the few parts I need off of it. If I could offset my initial cost by selling the head or keeping it if someone explains why I might want to install it on my '73.

When thinking long-term, I'm hesitant to want to rely on parts from other irrelevant vehicles as they are likely to all be crushed unfortunately. It seems we use Jeep for IAC, Nissan for TPS, or Cavalier TB, and Ford for EDIS. I can get away from Ford by using smart LS coils but haven't figured out the throttle body stuff yet. 

Thanks so much @jimk and @Healey3000 for the prompt responses on this old thread. You guys rock. FYI I’m converting my ‘73 Verona to EFI and DIS. I was hoping that by 2023 you could buy and aftermarket throttle body with TPS, IAC, and IAT.

Hi,

 

With MS3 I plan on using wasted spark with four LS2 coils that sit on the valve cover (I've made a bracket for these).  No EDIS, but I am using the EDIS VR sensor because that's what the 02again wheel/bracket combo is designed for.  Agreed, setting the tooth offset is easy with MS3.

 

MS3 also has a tach output.  I am using a 56 mH inductor to create the flyback voltage spike that the 2002 tach requires.

 

For the fan, MS3 only needs to produce a 100 Hz PWM signal that my circuit then uses to drive the fan, so that's easy enough.

 

Idle control is by means of a stepper motor.  I'm using a Cavalier throttle body which is far more compact than the e30 units.  It has an integrated TPS as well as an idle motor (IAC).  Despite that, and having the same bore as the M20B25 throttle body, it is about half the height.  It also has a nice cable pull cam for actuation.

I'd love to know more about this throttle body. part number or model year and engine of cavalier it came off of. How did you figure out the pinout for using the sensor and motor?

Just thinking - The crankshaft seal can be set in the case bore at various depths to avoid wear rings on high mileage crank pulleys.  If the seal were to be set at the maximum depth, then the face of case forward of the seal might be machined off enough to gain space for a 1/8" thk toothed wheel fit and save the hub AC pulley sheeve.  A 1/8" thick wheel is enough for a Hall effect or a 1/2" VR sensor.

Refer to the attached. Disregard the sensor bracket.

Couldn’t you just get a competent machinist to cut a 36-1 pattern into the OD of the inner v-belt flange of the AC pulley? Then smooth out the edges and make sure you AC compressor alignment is correct to not eat the belt.
