bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 is the only advantage being able to advance the timing? i considered doing it myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmccormack 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 What are you trying to do Gus, fit an L-jet engine to a motronic car or just make a motronic engine run on L-jet management? The former is easy the latter is crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 haha Looking back a year or 2 ago I l can't believe we made my mates M20B25 ran off a 320i L jet ECU and loom. ran real well, (too well in fact ) It just shouldn't have worked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 lookin at making a dual purpose car..320 engine for racing, 325 for fun....thinking about it...probably wont but am curious. why crazy? brings in a whole new world of timing advance? could always make the 320 run motronic...but wheres the fun in that?

gmccormack 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 why crazy? brings in a whole new world of timing advance? Crazy, because the L-jet ECU only has a fuel map for a 2 or 2.3 litre engine. Being able to adjust the timing is pointless if you can't get enough gas into it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being able to adjust the timing is pointless if you can't get enough gas into it. thats why I can't believe my mates worked so well. Would it be possible to get a custom chip for a 2.5 L-Jet? Easy enough to come by for motronic. Still sounds like more trouble than its worth. Chris- They are talking about the different engine management systems. Pre FL cars run a fuel managment system call L-Jetronic while facelift and all 325i use an engine managment system called Motronic. L-jet is an older system, advantages are you can advance timing and is easier to convert to aftermarket ECU. Stick with what you have. Motronic 320 makes more power than Pre FL 320 anyway Edited January 17, 2006 by petone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
