Following an uneventful first heat which saw me placed 5th, I was intent on a better performance for Race 2. My pace had been improving since qualifying despite the rising track temperatures, but I knew that I was still some way off the quicker Class D contenders. Starting from 2nd on the Class D grid I was able to out-drag Bernard de Gouveia, and put him between me and Manny Ribeiro, who I kne...

What about the n52 throttle bodies that just bolt on and are electronic. Same plug even
Is that a secondary air injector upgrade? -connected to the line running over your valve cover
I drive 2000 328i for my daily driver. Can’t say much about race applications, but I’m lucky to get 2 years out of a set of lower control arms. Maybe I’ll try a set of the Meyle and see if I have any better luck. Thanks for the video.
Curious: Based on your explanation of “why”, it sounds like this really isn’t worth doing on my 2003 325ci daily driver. Thoughts? TIA
Anyone knows the part number for the inlet rubber boot ?
Really well thought out.. well done
Where do I go in ista to run this test?
Minus work on a m54b30
M50 swap on m54b30 is minus work.. no gains. Even on high rpm.
One thing that isn't clear in any swap M50 intake on M54 videos is that isn't explained where the vacuum hose exactly need to be attched. M50 has FRP pipe directly in the intake. M54 have the FRP pipe that comes from fuel filter into an "F" plastic between throttle and MAF. So totally different vacuum behaivour. So where is the correct location of FRP pipe on this intake swap?
Thanks! Good explanation with tools around the garage already.
(short queston; are you running a PCV on the crank case vent hose to the catch can?) I'm having issues with my catch can set up, slightly different from yours, I blew out 2 rear main seals before i figured it was the catch can. (oil cap test done to see if it was building crank case pressure, it was not) (also ran a compression test within factory tolerances) I am dumping to atmosphere now and seems to be doing much better but I still have to replace rear main from the last blow out so leaks only slowed down. Ive seen some videos running pcv's some without, was getting your opinion. cheers!
Hey brother, If I'm understanding the video correctly, you shouldn't need to remove the timing chain either to do this? Thanks in advance
I made the m50 intake mani swap in my e46 eith m52tu and it runs and idles great, i got a stage 4 revmatch tune but im having a low rpm hesitation, any ideas? Ive heard could need a different spray pattern injector?
Yes, standard M54 injectors have an angled spray pattern to suit the angle of the injector ports in the manifold. At high air velocities the spray angle is probably less relevant, but I could imagine some sub-optimal air-fuel mixing at low air velocities (low rpm) which could cause a hesitation.
Great fabrication, do you have any sort of measurements? I'd like to try and make a baffle myself. Cheers
Didn’t take measurements, because it’s a bit of a busy shape. It’s very easy though to make up with the sump off - start with a cardboard template, then cut, bend and trim as required. The oil pickup hole position is a bit of a guess, but not too tricky.
How deep did you drill the holes in the original mounting points? I don’t want to drill too deep it looks like they go to the outside of the pan
Well done Nick. Awesome pressure. Congrats on a P1 and P2 finish for the weekend. AMAZING
does this setup work? if so, i copy it to my m52b28 with m50 intake.
Its amazing to think of how recently these manifolds were affordable.
Since you are very much informed about BMW's, I want to ask a question not related to this video. What is the best torque converter automatic gearbox to install on a tight budget with an M50 supercharged engine and which parts are needed? It must have at least 5 forward gears with lock-up in the higher gears and fit without an adaptor plate. I can only find videos of people converting to manual boxes, but I need to go from my 5 speed to auto due to health issues. If possible do you know of a reputable supplier? The 6HP and 8HP boxes are too expensive and I am not able to find secondhand control units and/or shifters. Your advice will be highly appreciated.
Since manuals have a significant premium, the smart play is rather than spend $6-8k converting a car to auto with a rebuilt box amd tc, driveshaft, diff, wiring harness, trans computer, etc… sell what you have and buy an auto. You can buy auto e90s e91s, e46, amd e36 amd e34 for 5-8k all day long.
@@Onizukachan915swap would be worth with 8hp or dct
What size are the tap screws to plug the holes?
Doing this today wish me luck! Cars already up in the air and exhaust is off as I’m in the process of changing the clutch just waiting for parts had a diff laying around for ages so nows the time to do it!
It feels slow
I just got done installing the M50 manifold on my M54B30. everything is hooked up correctly, and now it seems to have a misfire at lower RPM. when revving up, it seems to smooth out in the upper RPM range. I used your suggested Bosch injectors from the video. Any idea what could be wrong? Maybe just have to drive it so the DME can "learn" the new manifold? I kept the CCV system, deleted DISA valve, did not port match the intake ports on the head.
Its most likely due to injectors spraying at the wrong angle, if you stick with m54b30 injectors. Ive been there with m52tub28 engine. It was more like hickups than missfire, sorted out with m52b28 injectors and a tune. Both m54b30 and m52tub28 injectors spray at different angle than previous m50 models. M50 intake manifold did nothing in terms of power for m52tub28 engine even tho i spent hours and hours tuning it, revved it 7200to7300rpm most of the time, worked fine but the best part of it was the sound and simplicity when you had to take it off again. Im eager to see what does it do for you with m54b30 engine, as I too moved to it. Please make a log of say 3rd gear WOT 2000-max rpm with engine revs, throttle position and maf reading so we can compare some numbers! I can guide you how to if needed.
@@TomoReso actually the problem was, one of the new injectors was bad. I put the oem m54 injectors in and it runs great
@@cooperc240 glad you sorted it out, did you make any logs, tests?
@@TomoReso no, I am still waiting on a tune to come through
@@cooperc240 hopefully its some trusted tuner.
Where can I buy n54 harness? I found only connector without wires...
Do you feel the difference ?
Yes
For your oil hole, did you just cap it with a bolt?
Nigga just stood in front of the car and talked
Awesome vid bro ! Love how you actually take us through it step by step not leaving anything out.
Thank you very much, this helped alot!
So does the m50 cylinder head have bigger ports, If so wouldn't grinding the m54 head too match be an idea?, Is m50 duel vanos? what's stopping us putting m50 head on with the ports to match
Craig, how about pointers for a build of an M50 motor using an Eaton M65 from a kompressor Mercedes. I love what you did with the idle control valve.
😆. You seriously over-estimate my capabilities 🤣. I had to Google what an Eaton M65 is! Be aware that all my RUclips genius is nothing more than some unashamed copy-catting embellished with a TEENY bit of my own learning and ideas… 😉
please can you explain the setup of your catch can?
Hello, you have to tune the computer after installing that manifold.
how is that oil catch can holding up ?
Amazing video, i will be replicating this on my back tomorrow afternoon. Cheers
Get it done?
but the idle valve electronically is there any cable to which it should be connected or should only the pipes be placed without any electrical connection?
What adapter did you use for the throttle body?
I had the adapter machined from aluminium at a machine shop. Pretty basic to mock up.
@@buildabeemer ok thanks I’ve looked on ecs and the only one had they had was $140 but I’ll look around locally for shop
Hi. You can get the compression values/ranges from within ISTA under troubleshooting/repair.
Where did you get the aftermarket CCV system from?
Hi Craig/Nicholas and/or Rory, so I am a new owner of an E46 with the M54 motor. I have watched almost all of your videos regarding your E46 build. They are great and really insightful. I am hoping to do something similar regarding my cooling system. Please can you elaborate or perhaps make a video on replacing the standard expansion tank with the round golf water bottle one as I am really wanting to do this but cannot find any info on this. Hope to see you at the track (I am in Cape Town). Thanks
I have 2 m50 motor cars one has an m50 manifold with an RK tune flash one is stock. The swapped one makes over 20hp more. Its extremely worth it.
Excellent video.....answered all my questions when researching for this mod. Only thing you missed was details about tuning, especially with the different injectors. Does it need to be tuned or not? Also you mentioned the catch can for the oil at the beginning but didn't go into details.
With the bosch injectors you need to run spacers or is not neccesary?
if coolant goes too long without being changed it can become very corrosive and can lead to shit like this happening
Well done on P3
YES! MORE RACING! woohooo!
I got this on my s52
Very nice
If you take your ignition coils out there's no need to pull a fuel pump fuse or relay the engine is not going to start while doing a compression test.
Тяжело мотору 😂
