BMW M50 Trigger question

Recommended Posts

 

Hi

I have my G4 Xtreme up and running on a M50 turbo. Engine sounds and seems healthy, and I`m pretty sure I`ve got the trigger settings/offset right.

But my TDC-marks on the crank is not visible when looking from above the engine. I had to use a mirror from underneath. So I`m only 99% sure that I`ve got the offset right. I checked out a E36 Base map I found in a Vipec folder, and I found a different offset.

So I`m wondering what trigger offset really means? Is this a constant number for a certain engine or can this number vary from one ECU to another??

Regards

Anders

Hi Anders 

I have found that atleast on the m54 the trigger wheel from a different size bore does not have thesame tdc markings

i had to make my own markings on the pulley and check that the engine was in tdc(there are serveral easy ways to check, a ruler through the spark plug,pressure gauge to the sparkplug, flywheel tdc pin,camshaft tdc etc..)
