    It has Begun!

    I picked up my non-vanos M50B25 this past Monday and last night my buddy Adam and I got it tore down to the block after about 3 hours and 12 beers later.





    Let the stroking BEGIN!

    Is this engine going in your E36 or your E30?

      In my E30. Going to be a slow build up throughout this fall, winter, and spring. Hopefully I will have it in by summer of next year.

      Going to build it up to a 2.9 or 3.1 stroker, port & polish the head, schrick cams, custom chip, balance & blue print, etc. Basically everything possible thing I can do to get the most NA power from it.

          Funny how fast a M50 can be torn apart.

              congrats. i love how the m50nv revs compared to the m50tu's. i too have been contemplating this for my winter beater (currently has the m50nv.)

              what are your plans for the mass air flow meter (maf)? i have not found a solution for increasing the maf diameter from 3.0 to 3.5. its not as easy as the s50/2 engines and the 540/euro maf.

              cheers, jason

                  Looks just like mine as of 1 year ago...and still the same.
                  Just keep working on it.

                    Korman BMW can order NV Schrick 252 and 256 cams for $595 + shipping. I'm still shopping around. Of course that price is for new not regrinds.

                        Tearing it down is the easy part.. convincing your better half to let you keep spending money on it is another story.

                          Schedule 40 is a rating for PVC pipe, and often is used as a generic term to describe the white PVC pipe you see at home improvement centers.

                            OIC.. not sure about using PVC but I might use some sort of ABS plastic.
