The 2.5tds wiring in the e36 compact

[BMW_Fan2020]

Greetings everyone, I am now contemplating the installation of a 2.5tds engine into my small vehicle. I would really appreciate if I could pose a few inquiries for clarification. I get the concept of using fifty percent of the propshaft and fifty percent of the tds. I would want to inquire about the electrical wiring. According to my research, it has been said that the diesel conversion process is rather straightforward and does not need extensive modifications, in contrast to the petrol conversions. Can you confirm the accuracy of this statement? I possess comprehension about the components of the immobilizer system, among other related aspects.

Thank you for any feedback.

The employment of fly-by-wire technology in the Tds necessitates the replacement of the whole wiring harness.I have just installed one in my Coupe, and I am now planning to install a Tds Compact next.
I recommend continuing with the endeavor, since the torque shown by a modified M51 engine is substantial.Furthermore, the inclusion of a Compact model is expected to enhance the driving experience, so contributing to a pleasurable journey.

To ensure proper functionality, it is necessary to use the tds wiring loom, since it employs a fly-by-wire system.Today, I will be observing a Compact, specifically with the intention of including the M51 inside it.
I just installed an M51 engine into my Coupe, which proved to be really advantageous.I strongly encourage you to go with the given action, since it is quite unlikely that you would have any negative consequences.

Thank you for your response. Do you mean the whole engine wiring harness (as I anticipated when transitioning from a 4-cylinder to a 6-cylinder engine), or do you also refer to the entire wiring harness of the vehicle?

The concept of a car loom refers to the intricate system of wiring and cables found inside an automobile.

I successfully implemented a modification by installing a 3.0-liter M3 engine into my previous 325tds vehicle, managing to navigate the associated wiring challenges with proficiency.

The diesel engines are equipped with two large, round plugs located in the engine compartment. The second option pertains to the use of fly-by-wire technology.

The project seems to be quite promising.

The possibility of doing the switch using just three fuses from the tds loom, while still maintaining proper engine functionality, is contingent upon the extent of research and disentangling of wiring that one is willing to undertake. The fusebox receives many power sources, but the engine can function with just two of these sources. The other sources are responsible for supplying power to the car's electrical system, and theoretically, they can remain connected. How can I be certain of this information? I systematically isolated and eliminated all superfluous circuits, including relays, from the electrical system originating from the fusebox. This was done in preparation for transferring the engine wiring harness, together with the immobilizer system, into a Jaguar vehicle. The original Jaguar wiring harness was retained for all other functions. Although the process was time-consuming, it was successfully completed.

I believe that my 318tds small vehicle is equipped with a fly-by-wire system.Do the engines possess the two plugs as previously indicated?

Furthermore, it is worth noting that my perspective has been reevaluated and reconfigured. The vehicle exhibits an exceptional level of torque starting from 2,000 revolutions per minute and continues to provide power consistently throughout the whole range of revolutions. Notably, despite having accumulated a mileage of 210,000 miles, the vehicle shows no signs of oil consumption. The vehicle exhibited a significant lack of power below 2,000 revolutions per minute (revs), however it maintained a fuel efficiency of 47 miles per gallon on a recent journey from Aberystwyth in West Wales to Canvey Island in the Thames. The vehicle has remarkable acceleration even at high velocities.

I am really anticipating the opportunity to see this event. I now own a modified M51 engine inside a sedan vehicle, which exhibits exceptional performance characteristics. I am intrigued by the prospect of seeing the engine's behavior within a tiny car.

Hello, could you maybe provide more context or clarify your statement? I kindly request assistance from someone. I currently own a 3 Series E36 Compact 1.7TDS and have just acquired a 3 Series E36 2.5TDS. I am interested in determining if the engine can be directly installed and whether the wiring is compatible.
