Selle mootori m\u00e4rks\u00f5nad oleksid minu arvates \u2013 Kaal ja Valvetronic. Kuigi seda viimast paljud pelgavad siis usun, et see on v\u00e4ga hea alternatiiv ITBdele. Eriti kui mootor on kergete nukkadega ja N54 sisselaskega siis gaasipedaali reaktsioon on v\u00e4ga terav. Enamikel v\u00f5idus\u00f5iduks ehitatud N52 mootoritel eemaldatakse valvetronic, et paigaldada aftermarket juhtaju. T\u00e4naseks olen ise aga originaal aju arendusega j\u00f5udnud nii kaugele, et ei ole vaja \u00fchtegi lisamoodulit originaal autost ning samuti saan eemaldada t\u00fc\u00fctu softlimiteri. Softlimiter piirab valvetronicu t\u00f6\u00f6d alates 6850 p\u00f6\u00f6rdest. Seega mina enda puhul ei n\u00e4e vajadust aftermarket aju jaoks ning saan kasutada \u00e4ra valvetronicu s\u00fcsteemi.

Since then, I&#8217;ve gained some experience and knowledge about this engine, so I&#8217;ll share this process with you, and hopefully, someone will benefit from it in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Engine <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N52B30 &#8211; BMW&#8217;s last naturally aspirated engine. In my opinion, the keywords for this engine are Weight and Valvetronic. Although many are wary of the latter, I believe it&#8217;s a very good alternative to ITBs. Especially if the engine has lightweight cams and N54 intake, the throttle response is very sharp. Many N52 engines built for racing remove the Valvetronic to install an aftermarket ECU. By now, with the original ECU development, I&#8217;ve reached a point where I don&#8217;t need any additional modules from the original car, and I can also remove the original soft limiter. The soft limiter limits the Valvetronic&#8217;s work starting at 6850 rpm. So in my case, I don&#8217;t see the need for an aftermarket ECU and can use the Valvetronic system. More on the ECU topic later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lightweight Cams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the rebuild of my second engine, I discovered that the intake and exhaust cams on this engine were significantly lighter. There isn&#8217;t much information about this online, but from what I&#8217;ve been able to find out, starting from 2007-08, the cams for this engine were produced using a different method, resulting in both cams being about 600-700g lighter. Lightweight cams can also be found on the N51 engine, which are a 1:1 fit.<\/p>\n<p>The codes for the lightweight cams are:<\/p>\n<p>Intake &#8211;<strong> 7560932<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Exhaust &#8211;<strong> 7560934<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full pt-2 md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:w-[calc(100%-.5rem)]\">\n<form class=\"stretch mx-2 flex flex-row gap-3 last:mb-2 md:mx-4 md:last:mb-6 lg:mx-auto lg:max-w-2xl xl:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 flex-col\">\n<div class=\"absolute bottom-full left-0 right-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; content_et=&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mootori Keti hammasratas <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=%22font-weight: 400;%22>Tegemist on antud mootori puhul k\u00f5ige n\u00f5rgema l\u00fcliga kui hakata v\u00f5imsust juurde keerama.

Fortunately, there are some solutions for this.<\/p>\n<p>One option is to buy a ready-made piece where this sprocket is rigid.
