If you're referring to the automatic trans wiring, no it doesn't. It is separate and you need to do that part of it yourself. It will work, but you will be in limp mode all the time. The best scenario is find someone parting an early car and grab the non-EH trans out of it.

Sorry didnt see the reply, buzzbomb got it right, the correct answer.

BuzzBomb can correct me as I believe he knows how to do this conversion, but the 1.3 conversion with an EH Auto is possible, and this kit gets you part way there. The transmission control unit (TCU) needs input from an automatic TPS, engine speed output, and fuel rate output to work properly (the TCU also sends a shift signal to Motronic to retard timing on shifts). The primary modifications required involve tying the TPS signal from the new harness into the C238 plug alongside the glovebox. Studying the e28 ETM (page 2460-3) and an '88 635CSI ETM (page 2460-2) will give you a good idea of what you need to do.

You are not wrong, as long as you’re using an automatic harness. All the signals you mentioned are included in the harness so you don’t need to add them. You just need to make a few connections between the e28 trans ecu and the 179. I told people back in the faq that I would offer the pin outs to whoever asked for them.

I'd be interested in a 1.3 kit if you have one for my '83 533i. PM'd you but haven't heard back yet. Touch base when you get a chance?

Hi bimmerguy. I guess I haven’t posted enough to send a pm yet.. I have a 85 535 and I’d like to 1.3 swap. If you have a kit I’ll buy it or any partial kit will help thanks!

sent you back a reply

Hello, very interested in a 1.3 kit for my 1986 535i that I just manual swapped. Not sure how to private message on here, thanks.

You can click the name but i think you have to have a certain amount of posts (dont remember the rules regarding new members/members with low post count).
email is Jspec20===@===hotmail===dot===com without the equal marks if regular email is faster. I build them to order and usually takes a week due to work.
