Alpina E36 manual conversion question

[nath 134]

Hi guys

i have purchased a full 420g m3 evo conversion for my E36 Alpina B3 3.2 switchtronic.

Provided I follow through with it some time- will there be issues with programming the ECU, considering it isn't a bog standard ECU or a common one?

I will have a professional undertake the work.

 

cheers

Wouldn't think so as they would surely use the same MS41 DME as BMW (with custom mapping obviously)

The standard e36 have a rev hang issue which bothers some people mote than others. Would imagine something similar possibly?

Thanks- this is the kind of thing I won't put up with, it has to be 100% or nothing.

Mine had that after converting it, even with a light flywheel. Was a real PITA.

That comes down to the experience\skill of the person doing that side of the conversion. From my understanding rev hang can be eliminated by changing deceleration ignition timing values. I don't why MS41 seems to have an issue over the later MS43, they seem to operate the same auto\manual switch over when coding, clearing adaptions and aligning EWS, maybe some conversions arent doing this?
