  1. Thanks
    Northern reacted to Vaughan in DBW settings for VDO Throttle   
    These are the values the help manual recommends for an M52 VDO Throttle, note these are G4+ Values but I imagine they will work reasonably well in a G4X too.

    Thanks, I woke to several similar reports this morning, it seems to be all related to the same user so they have been flagged as a spammer and all posts/messages should now have been removed.

    Northern got a reaction from dx4picco in PNP g4 pinout for OBII s52 (US)?   
    You can find BMW Electrical Troubleshooting manuals for both an M50tu car and a 96-98 MS41 car, which will have detailed pinouts for the DME connector (X6000)

    The M52/S52 connector is slightly different than the M50. The "Hook" on the connector housing (opposite the latch) needs to be modified to clip together. 
    I only know this because I used an M50 connector on a bench flasher for the MS41 ECU. It seems like the large and small hooks are flipped top & bottom to intentionally prevent insertion of the wrong ECU. 
    This connector is now somewhat loose, but you may be able to clearance the hook less aggressively and have it work?

    For repinning, you can undo the small screw on the back of the connector, and separate the off-white translucent inside from the black housing.
    The off-white part is a few pieces clipped together.
    Looking from the front of the connector, you can see two vertical seams, one near each end.
    Push the raised middle lip down and it should click down 1~2mm and now the pins should be depinnable with a flat depin tool.

    Cool, just making sure (a little helping of paranoia has never hurt when it comes to wiring plans). With that being the case, I assume that I can completely remove the constant 12V wire from position 26 (the spec sheet lists it as "nc (Constant 12V)"?
    I've started roughing-in some of the new wire runs and reorganizing / untangling the remaining original wiring. I have to say that I am now a big fan of Tefzel insulated wire...expensive, but the smaller OD is super helpful, and the smooth surface finish combined with its surprising rigidity makes it a heck of a lot easier to feed through PVC sheath tubes (not pictured). The original wire that BMW used is perfectly good considering it has not cracked or deteriorated in 30 years, but the PVC insulation leaves a bit to be desired (or at least I think it is PVC).

     
    Anyway, happy new year. I am pretty excited to get the car going on the E36X in 2021! It's probably about time that I made a build thread in the proper section...
