[@adli66]

Amazing work Pazi! You should have made it to a 1hr 30mins video. We wouldn't mind😆🤙🏼

[@sdagoespro]

Self holding phase in MS42/43/45s is meant to give the ECU enough time to store adaptation values to the EEPROM when the engine is turned off. Note: Increasing the timer also means you have to wait longer when flashing the ECU since it will stay awake longer. Edit: BMW puts the transmission in between the shifter (which is terminated) and the rest of the PT CAN. Therefor the BMW original looms have two pairs of CAN high/low going to the transmission per CAN.

[@pazi88]

Thanks for the insights once again! Oh I didn't know that about the original wiring. I did it little bit differently so that the shifter has two pairs of the CAN wires and one of those goes to the trans and it's terminated there (now 😅),

Thanks! I was bit surprised too, how well this turned out 😃 I don't have any good results of the fuel consumption. It seems to consume roughly 12.5 liters of E85 per 100km. But that includes lot of tuning and pulls, so it's not very comparable result.

[@ВладимирКапуста-ф9ш]

Great job!!!! Give your opinion (pros and cons) Turbolamik and CANTCU. Can't make up my mind, with the TCU control unit

[@pazi88]

Well, cantcu is the perfect choise for street car because of the use of original tcu in the transmission. It gives oem driveability which is must for nice to drive street car. But it also work for track, drag racing etc. very well. Especially with the better OEM+ flash and proper manual mode. It's also very easy to install. But once you start to need trans-brake for spooling big turbo in drag racing or virtual clutch for drifting (though why run auto for that, when manual is better), then turbolamik becomes the better choice. It's of course a lot more difficult to install and requires tuning to get working nicely. So not really worth the hassle if you don't need the extra features it offers.

[@br3xk0ff]

Love your projects,Pazi ! Can you give more insight why did you chose ZF8 instead of DCT ?

[@pazi88]

Main thing is the cost. At least currently, you can get like 4 to 6 of these N55 8HP transmissions for the price of one N54 DCT transmission 😅 The DCT is also heavier, so because the power handling of the 8hp45 isn't problem in this project, it's better to use that weight wise too.

[@br3xk0ff]

@@pazi88 Price-wise I understand. But I didn't know it had weight advantage too.Suddenly DCT doesn't seem that much cooler to me,especially when the performance of the auto with good settings looks close enough. Thanks for the info.

not my personal choice 😁going auto in the e36 but really well done! When can we hear more about how the engine is doing? Are you going to a dyno when the real exhaust is done? I am guessing theres a bunch of power to be had on your setup going from the b20/b25 exhaust to a b28 or m3 size...

[@pazi88]

Well yeah, I wanted to do something different and I'm not regretting it. Quite opposite. This is now so much nicer to drive than my e30 😅 The 1st revision of the exhaust is now done, and it's just straight 3" cat-less exhaust with tiny resonator modified rear muffler. It's twice the the size as the old, but I don't really see the effect on the logs, so it's not much that it actually affects. Mostly it's the sound and I'm loving it now. You can actually hear that in the highway pulls, but it doesn't sound much on the video. In reality it's like really like S54 screaming.

Great swap. Can't wait to do the same as well. I gave a question: 8hp45 from diesel will suit M50 as well? ( I understand that may be the "shorter" rear diff will be needed for example 3.46 instead of 3.15.)
