  1. Actually been in an email conversation with someone who sells Link and has a dyno around here. He mentioned that in some 330 m54s that he'd come across where the OEM ECU controlled the e-throttle the OEM ECU had been doing strange stuff, cutting the throttle for an example. Anything you are aware of? Yeah I'm not gonna get in to the CAN bus stuff without the knowhow, which is also the reason why piggyback seems more achievable. I'll see what I end up doing and return here if I have any new questions, great feedback here btw!
  2. Well the throttle i suppose could be converted to a regular wire one, but how would the OEM ECU react to that? I'm guessing converting to wire would cause me to not have cruise control, which is ok, but how about tractioncontrol? Does it use the TB somehow? Or Does it lower the ignition when loosing traction? Ah, now I'm starting to understand, nicely explained thank you. The part of needing to figure out the rest, which I do not have the equipment nor experience to do myself is what makes me prefer letting the OEM ECU control IT if possible. Yes keeping the dash working is almost a must. Thing is I'm planning on trying to sneak through inspection here (Sweden) and to be able to do that the dash needs to be working, it has to turn on the warninglights before starting as it does originally and the rpm and speed need to work etc. I would however not be crying if i'd loose the cruisecontrol, the "average consumption" meter and such. It needs to mostly seem like stock, it also needs to pass the co2 and hc controls (not sure about the words in english). I want the climate to work (My car does not have the digital display which i think is the one called climate, it has what i guess is just ac. If that makes anything easier) Thanks alot for the help so far!
  3. If I was to use the kurofune then the stock ECU would still be controlling e-gas and vanos? (The m54 is as you probably know double vanos) Since I didnt see any support for those on the specs for the kurofune. When doing a piggyback you would wire the sensors to the Link and then from the outputs of the Link to the ECU? Does wiring The sensors to both ecu's work? For an exempel keeping the stock wiring and also running new wires from the sensors to the Link? My thought behind this being that i'd guess that there's more than 4 sensors needed in both the Link and stock ECU (camshaftsensors, crank trigger, TPS, IAT, engine temp and so on)? So I suppose if the Mini can is the same you could use that but the rest would have to be figured out somehow (not the easiest task I guess?) It's a manual.
  4. Hi, i'm currently in progress of turboconverting my 2000 e46 330i (m54b30) and thinking about how to solve the engine management part of my project. I first looked into tuning the stock ECU/DME but a standalone system seems like a so much more flexible and better choice in some ways. I want the stock instrument cluster and most of the other functions to work. From what i've learned reading my choices are either running the stock ECU/DME parallell to the standalone or making the standalone communicate with the cluster. So basically I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with this car and setup? How does one go about running the stock ECU parallell to the standalone? How about errorcodes, checklights and such? And what ECU would be the better choice?
