The loom could soon be swapped for a standard one

Standard ECU can be live mapped in the same way as the Motec, just not as easily
. How do you thing all these companies flash the ECUs for various tunes to suit flowed heads, hiked compressions, exhausts and cam upgrades  ?

Mike hi.
It's a brilliant engine with a lot of torque (more than a CSL) and 420 true PS. I could be wrong but I think the P54s run with BMW MS ECUs and not Motec. Why is he offering a Motec ECU ? Surely the BMW MS map for the special vanos unit must be better than a custom made ? The engine life is very limited and the parts are extremely expensive (I find the prices quoted in the invoice low). The special vanos unit is ~ 10k euros. I would have gone for a P54 but I cannot afford a 15-20k bill every 4k km or so. That's too expensive for my car budget. Assuming it's an original P54B32, I think you should not purchase this engine unless you will run a race car and have a lot of money to throw on maintaining it. |
