M50tu to M50 no vanos swap

[Mr. Brokenamp]

Hi , first post here.

I have a '95 325i with a toasted engine.

I found a great vanos-less M50 from an early 90's 525i. Besides the wiring harness and the matching ECU what other things differ that I would need for the swap? I imagine some sensors etc...

Thanks in advance.

What failed on the engine? Cause usually its the head that fails, warps a bit and can get some cracks. Usually a rebuilt or used head will do the trick. How many miles on the old engine?

No vanos will take away some power
