Default 5.0 mpi to 5.7 mpi

Hello from Austria,
I would like to convert my 5.0 MPI to 5.7 MPI.
Can someone edit the engine control unit for me?
I also have the Axius joystick system.
Boat was built in 2009.

Thank you in advance.

You cannot convert a 5.0 to a 5.7 but you can replace the 5.0 with a 5.7 or even 6.2

Reprogramming the PCM is not that easy and may not be able to be accomplished, but replacing with a factory one program for a 5.7/6.2 is

What is your motor serial number?

hello, yes of course I mean swapping to a 5.7.

Serial number: 0w962289

The control unit is available new from Mercruiser for 5.7 with closed cooling and Axius.
However, it costs around 3000 euros per engine...

The SN is coming up a Bravo drive
Yes it will be pricey, new ECM comes in at $2700 USD here

Not even able to buy a "new" 5.7, it's either the 4.5 or 6.2
If you get a new long block and ECM you should be able to use everything else off your motor

I would look at part numbers to see if there are any real differences. The tune for a 5.0 and 5.7 can't be that much different.

Do you have the engine serial number from the 5.0 MPI?

You can not use a 5.0 ecu on a 5.7 without reprogramming.
