E36General discussion and technical help for (E36) 1992-1999 3 series cars. 318, 323, 325, 328.
There's a very noticable difference in performance up high, but I did lose a good amount of low end torque... however by me doing pulleys and fan delete at the same time, it reversed that loss into a bit of gain on torque too. I'm planning on dyno'ing sometime soon.
Any questions?
That would probably be a reason for me not to do it since I am trying to get has much low end torque as possible....
Umnitza now provides a mechanic to install all parts ordered right in the box! It's their new "Total customer service program" that will eliminate all the haters and keep incompetents from breaking **** and blaming the vendor! When you are all set simply call INS and they will pick him up free of charge.
you do not have to remove the manifold to get clean your icv, just remove your air intake box and just squeeze your hand in there, trust me removing the manifold is easy, but putting it on will probably be a pain

Getting the m52 off was easy (15 minutes)... putting the m50 on wasn't TOO hard... the time consuming and annoying part was modifying EVERY SINGLE HOSE AND CONNECTOR from the m52 manifold to the m50 manifold. This means a few trips to lowes, home depot, plumbing stores, and a bunch of other places trying to find elbows, pipes, t-pipes, and everything else with the matching diameter and such. There was a lot of custom work that went into this.

that why i purchased the conversion kit. my mechanic said that buying the kit made it cheaper because it did not require any custom fabrications.
I did some fun drags tonight on curvy roads with my car and DAMN, that manifold makes a huge difference. It showed itself a lot more prominently tonight than right after I got it.

Love it.
Yea.. The ECU needed time to adapt to it.. The car probably runs a little smoother as well...

I thought lower idling was actually better? My bro cleaned his manifold and did some other stuff, and his car idled at about 150 rpm's lower. He doesn't have a BMW tho.
It does, but I've noticed my idle has dropped a bit. I idle now around 400, is that anything to worry about?
I would be more worried about a high idle with this setup. The biggest problem is that the ICV and the PCV share the same hose. Which means you are not getting the same airflow as you once did.. BUT, the ECU should try and keep the idle as close to stock as possible. Unless you are getting some stalling issues when stopping I would not worry about it.
