m52b28 end of life

[moots]

Moots,
I was wondering whether the M52TU (double vanos) can fit in. Is it possible to go along this line or are there other limitations preventing the fitment of an M52TU engine ?
Cheers

you mean to replace an m52 with an m52tu?
No it won't work....not without replacing the ECU and a host of other parts.if you still want an m52tu or an m54 than a half cut is the way to go...transfer everything!

Hi Moots,
After the transplant, how is the engine performing ? Is there any more lube oil consumption ?
Regards

A change from single vanos (M52) to double vanos (M52TU) will require a halfcut because almost everything is different, even the wiring system.

Why not direct to M54 if take half cut ?
