Added 3 more. You can now see the big difference S52/S50 cams make on a 2.8L, sans the variable of them being different cars, but you get the idea...
Also shown is a 2.8 with and without manifold. You guys doing M50 man on a 2.8L are picking up a little up top at a compromise of a little down low.... Not necessarily 100% worth it without cams....

Great to hear! ;)
Added a M50B25 vs M52 comparison to see what you M50 guys are missing out on! 2.8>* ;)
I have no idea if they were chipped or anything but we tuned the M52.

My beater has a custom mandrel bent vibrant res and muffler exhaust setup from the stock OBD2 headers, this car had factory E36 OBD2 midpipe with cats/res and aftermarket catback. That that what i believe killed the power climb up top. Graphs nearly match eachother till then....:
Beaters vanos changeover point is also shit. Keep trying to find time to take it back to dyno after updating its tune...

Thank you for this great dyno information, now we know all the myths.
The beater vs the 328 track car w/ M50/cams. Beater has 'intake/exhaust' vs stock e36 stuff on the other car. Note the significant low end differences but keep in mind these are two completely different cars...
(Eli) M52 with M50 manifold vs Stock M52 with tune

This proves what I have been saying for a while, stock E36 parts work better than some aftermarket intake / exhaust. Your E30 has slightly lighter rear rotating mass so it should of made more power but instead it made less. This says stock E36 intake cold air box is the best box you can use. And stock E36 exhaust is not that restrictive. BMW did a good job.
As far as the Exhaust goes, my last dyno shows the only difference between the two cars is the exhaust setup (sans the fact that theyre two different cars) and there is a noticeable power difference. Not to say the stock OBD2 midpipe is a major restriction but it is the main variable between the two cars. It is however leaps and bounds over the OBD1 one if nothing else.
Originally posted by DesertBMW View PostThat dyno proves unless you are adding S52 cams with that M50 manifold you won't make more power on average. This proves that stock M52 manifold with stock M52 cams is a pretty good match when both powerbands are averaged out. M52 intake manifold is not that inferior after all.
So Full comparison (To note: these are 3 completely different cars with minor differences, this is simply to illustrate the 'idea')
Stock M52
'Eli' has M52 with M50 manifold
Dale Burroughs has M52, M50 manifold and S52 cams
You can see that the M52 is the winner almost all the time from 2k to ~5300 (again extrapolating the fact that we started that run at 3500). Right at ~5400 the hp on the M52 tanks and the M50 manifold equipped car starts to 'win' until ~6500 where they meet again... At ~5k the S52 cammed car takes off and never looks back...
HP:
TQ:
now i need a customer to come by that wants cams on a M52 WITHOUT a M50 manifold.........
