I took my car to the track for the first time last month (all I've done power-wise is the basic shark injector) and I really noticed the lack of top end power. I was wondering if the manifold swap can be feasibly done by itself, with nothing but the basic software and adapter kit. Will the A/F ratios be able to be maintained without bigger injectors or other upgrades? I know you obviously recommend such upgrades, but I don't have the money for them right now (maybe later on down the road). I DO have an M50 manifold right now though and can afford the conversion kit. I know I'll lose low-end torque, but is it worth it for the added top end power? How much can I expect to gain in power and lose in torque?
Thanks for any advice.
Trading the New for the Old: M50 Manifold Conversion
It's no secret that the M50 manifold used on the 92-95 E36 cars flows considerably more air than the manifolds on the S52 or M52 engines but what is a secret is installing it correctly to make gains in both horsepower and torque. There are many kits out there and not all of them do a seamless jo...
