After using piggyback ECU's such as Morristech TSI and AEM Fic 6/8 and not satisfied, I decided to go standalone ECU.
Editor's note: page content moved, this dates back 2012-06, one of the early BMW S50B32 VEMS installs with VANOS (VEMS ECU with econoseal connector, NOT mot88 frontplate).
Engine code: S50B32
Specs:
6 cylinder in line
Infinite variable camshaft angle on both intake and exhaust(VANOS)
displacement (cm3): 3201
JE pistons 8.5:1 compression ratio
Forged ARROW connecting Rods
Coil on plugs and full sequential
Stock cams
GT37/40 hybrid turbo
3 vr sensors
Crank 60-2
Exhaust 6+1
Intake 6
Engine management:
VEMS V3.6 Firmware 1.1.96
Dual Vanos Enabled
VEMSTUNE 1.2.4
I kept the OEM harness and sensors to have the installation clean and OEM like.
Is this a VEMS ECU with motronic88 or standard VEMS ECU with EC36/EC18 install (perhaps with some adapter/wiring ) ?
- originally 2012-06 (unknown ECU srl), later with v3/8273 (oid8276) also EC36, confirmed (NOT mot88 frontplate)
Ignition coils wiring: done
Important note: traversed according the arrows (that point up) in VemsTune
