    intake manifold m52 ?

    What options are there for the m52b28 besides the m50 with CAi ... is there anything else that makes power ... i wanna keep the engine NA and get the most out of it... i have seen something from Dbilas ... is there anybody using the intake setup ? some hp gains ? anything ... input is appreciated ...thanks

        active once told me that with an S50 crank and S52 or s50 cams and cam trays 24# injectors good exhaust and tune they got 300+ out of an M52 then with ITBs and meth its rumored to be close to 400+ IIRC

          here is the idea ... i wanna do m3 cams , headers , full exhaust , CAi , this would bring me to 210-220 whp...this is with m50 intake manifold ... what else can be done for lets say 240 250 whp whitout going high compression pistons... can it be done ... at what cost ? is it worth the money ... or better save and swao the 3,2 engine 321 hp..?

                              its easy to say that... i mean the engine is somewhere arround 4000 euros.. plus all the work and swap parts... i can get hole car (328 ) from germany for 1000 euros and make some money by parting it out and keeping the engine... then you have cams , headers , exhaust , CAi ... thats what :2000 tops ... i think the m52 is good enough... i think 300hp ( engine hp) can be achieved with less money then the 3.2 swap... thats my dream swap donn't get me wrong but for now the 2.8 is thebest option..!
