Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted July 23, 2012 Nah Luke, the m50 and m52 have the trigger points in different places. Oh sweet as thanks David, I so hope thats the issue be nice to start her up tonight! are you refering to m52tu (twin vanos) engines which are different to m52 single vanos my mate fitted a m52b28 engine from a 96 328i into his e34 525ix touring , everthing was swapped across from the old m50b25 engine onto the m52b28 engine all works pefectly fine. just used all the m50 electrics etc Nah its just the single vanos motor Brent I think from a similar donor that your speaking of, might have been a 98 328i though. Yea we have all the m50 electronics minus the coils and injectors which are still m52. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could've sworn the ones i've got are the same Good to hear it is working and they were simple problems Yea man from my understanding there is a difference between m50 & m50tu trigger wheels then the M52 ones are different again which is for sure because I had the M50tu and m52 trigger wheels side by side yesterday, however we mixed them up somehow and do not know which one is on the motor now lol. But its running which is the main thing, I will determine on the weekend which one we are actually using and let you know. Yea such a good feeling!
