KME36 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hi Everybody, I've been lurking the forums for quite a while and found the information here very useful. That said, i have a little problem with my current BMW M54, swapped into an E36, and couldn't find any information on this. Engine is a M54B30, but vanos has been converted to single vanos to make it look like an M50. I have used a timing light to align the trigger offset angle to the mark on the block, and tried adding 360 degrees to it as well, but car still does not start. I have uploaded my base map for your kind perusal. If you guys have any idea why the car is not starting please give me some advice! Thank you.

Adamw Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Can you do a trigger scope and attach it here so we can confirm that both crank and cam signal look ok and match your settings. Does the m54 have non-amplified coils like the M50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 If you are using the The coils will be some off your problem, the M50 has non amplified coils so the ECU has ignitors built in. If you are using coils with ignitors built in you will be firing off the wrong edge. This is covered in the manual, I will attach a copy below. Also, as I asked earlier, can you do a triggerscope.
