Not over polished left some roughage for some air turbulence, but upon learning some more post the build I may have over opened ?.

Do you think the problem I'm having will be the eccentric shaft sensor?

Also I forgot to mention, I haven't been I  to relearn vanos yet, still runs and drives though which I wouldn't have expected with that fault code

I have a bmw n46 rb20. Bought for a steal, I thought..

Anywho full rebuild later (minor port and polish) and a decat and I'm getting a code. P1048 valvetronic servo motor voltage.

I've replaced the stepper motor. I was going to replace the eccentric shaft sensor but wanted to check there's nothing easier that could cause the issue, I.e a ground or fuse.

Any information is appreciated thanks 

? 

Picture of my lady

Yeah I plan to take my time and do everything slowly. I've rebuilt the motor already so know the mechanical side very well but not the electrical side so well Haha

Is it a wagon or just the angle of the pic? Looks good to me.

Welcome to the forum, how deep are your pockets. If I may sit down and work out the cost of what you wish to do to the n46 engine and compare it to a 6cylinder transplant. Or simply sell the car and purchase one with a 6 i.e. 330. This may seem harsh but the history of these  engines is not good. As I have a e46 compact which had a n42 motor now has a m54b25 a far better combination.  Best of luck with what ever path you decide to take.

My pockets aren't deep Haha. Plan is to teach some fundamentals then transplant a m54 in either a b25 or b30 after I have had a successful (or unsuccessful) run with the motor I have ie if I can run boost on this and run the motor for a while I'll be happy. Then I'll probably take the parts off I need for the conversion off my 4cyl. Turbo etc then work a transplant. I would love to transplant but feel I need some more experience with the e90 particularly the electrical aspects before I go for it haha

From what I've read it's not a good idea. I thought I was getting the car cheap and I was ill informed when I purchased the car and thought I was getting a steal. Haha failed. So I'm working with what I've got until I can afford more.

Welcome. Everyone here knows that infamous engine im afraid, be sure keep some money aside just in case.

Honestly I've never turbod a car before so this is more aimed and training myself some dos and do nots. I've already stripped it and rebuilt it and had it running before it threw some codes for the valvetronic motor so decided I'd upgrade the head studs and make some other tweaks and try running some boost and see how I go. If it runs I'll be plenty happy enough tbh

First time posting. Looking to mod my car Haha BMW 320i n46b20nb Haha love my bmws but hard to find people who who anything about them
