BimmerWorld M50 Manifold Swap [E36 Project Ep 9]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2019
- One of my favorite mods this far. A little Frankensteining with OEM parts. The M50 Manifold conversion on the M52 added noticeable gains on the top end (5000rpm and up) and I did not notice any lose down low.

Thanks for the vid, gonna be fitting mine soon. What have you done about the traction control warning light with removing the traction stuff? Thanks
I don't use traction control so mine is permanently off. But you shouldn't have any traction control issues from doing the m50 manifold.... have you disconnected your traction control throttle body??
You done a good job......It looks like a very awkward job.I just bought a 1998 e36 328i and i would like to convert it back to m50 intake manifold.do you think those kits from china on e-bay would be easier to fit than OEM.I think they are welded aluminium alloy??
Hey very helpful video man! What did you need to modify to get the fuel rail back on?
Viper2345 L I believe part of the mount off the rail hits the m50 manifold. The new plates in the kit work to move the mounting points.
@@swtmnk3 ahh ok, what did you end up cutting off the rail?
@@Drrrifft www.rmeuropean.com/bmw-m50-manifold.aspx this should help
@@swtmnk3 ok thanks!
I have your same kit , very straight forward I like your video. My question is how to route the vacuum hoses , which one goes into the blue one hose ? Which goes to the small one to the edge of the manifold ? Is the T that bimmer world provides to attach all?
Lol I came here to find this answer. UGH
What have you guys done with the vacuum line from where the idle control valve connects...
Did you get a check engine light at all? I did the same conversion kit and got a check engine light..I heard sometimes the ECU has to adjust to the new manifold and it will eventually turn off?? My car runs and sounds great by the way just wondering if you got a light at all
I did not have any lights
@@swtmnk3 yep working while drunk is never smart that was my bad..I plugged vacuum check valve into wrong fuel rail plug and looked over it after a couple days and solved it then the light went off we good now thanks for the reply though bud
Not enough comments about the full send at the end.
Sick!!! Sound's loads better than mine lol
Did the ecu just adapt to the new manifold or did it require tuning?
Bowman_46 I opted no tune and it did just fine. There is a ecu restart procedure that probably speeds up the process of relearn and zeros all the means. I may do a tune at this point now that Iv done exhausted. Also be nice to delete some codes and up the rev limit. But wouldn’t say it’s a necessity for the swap.
Anyway to delete the ccv and route a catch can with the m50 conversion?
Hey Tim, short answer is yes. I recommend doing a form search on the topic
Did you end up having to" grind down the shank "? If so how much did you take off?
yes 11:39 is the shank after the modification.
How did you get fuel back to your fuel rail ? Cuz you have to bleed the fuel rail to do a manifold swap
Izzy Sosa turn the key half way and let the pump run
Did you feel the increase in the low end power?
It's all subjective really. Your best bet on answering your question is to search the forums for someone that has done a before and after dyno. I recall finding this at one point. Might be hard to find the dyno pictures though since photo bucket killed all forums lol
You were able to just swap the manifolds and run it like that? You didn’t have to convert anything to obd1 or use a tune?
yes sir, other than the kit I used. The ECU can adapt. a tune wouldn't hurt though
/BCENZtube looks like my 97 328i is getting an m50 manifold haha thank you for taking the time to reply
Francisco Ozuna also the m50 manifolds look better 💪
😂 why do people always show more HP with burnouts? I'm sure with no mods it will do a fine burnout too
YES its a stock car... with welded so yes it did burnouts before the manifold..I put that in the end for fun, probably wasn't even the same week. but the little gain that the m50 gives is up top which is good for burnouts :) more skids
@12:14 what was going on w/the Dremel tool?
I believe there is a tab on the rail that hits the m50 manifold
Where you bought that kit gasket?
bimmer world
After i installed the m50 manifold on my m52b28 it felt like its louder than before ? Am i the only one who felt like that? I talk about the sound from the exhaust
that’s because you intake more air causing for a difference in noise, less restriction more noise
Does anything plug into the sensor or is it wireless
Air temperature sensor
You need to put a thread on the stock m52 sensor, screw it into the m50 manifold and plug it in as you normal would... hope that helps.
This manifold m50b25 or B20?
m50b25. In the US I don't believe they sold many cars with m50b20 motors. Either way mine came of the 2.5L e36
@@swtmnk3 So would it be useful to use m50b20 manifold?
@@cihangirasi I can't recall the difference but I remember reading some threads about it. I believe the b25 is the one you want.
Would this work on a bmw z4 e85 2.2
Its the m54 engine
@@benjaminmcneill8724 I believe you can but I would research the topic
@@swtmnk3 okay, thanks for getting back to me
