s50 vanos cams in a NV motor?

do tell...

at any rate.... subscribed

[lolcantturn]

Why wouldn't I be able to put S50cams in an M50NV? What problem would I face? I thought people do that all the time hah.

[FunfGan]

Do wërk.

[White325is]

from what I hear its better to swap the exhaust NV cam to the intake side and run a s50 exhaust cam in its place. But Im going off something I read a long time ago.

[lolcantturn]

Will it need to be milled or anything?

[White325is]

shouldnt..

What I want to know is who the hell pays any amount of money for an E36 pan? I've scrapped so many!

I want to say TIG welding gets it done? But I know it's possible... how else would people weld in oil feeds, you know?

Not very easy but very doable and expensive. Need a special spool gun.

You can put them in, you need to swap in the cam trays along with the cams.

[lolcantturn]

Nope did a few more searching and the Mfree cams won't work.

I need to get more power out of this non-vanos...naturally aspirated for now...ugh.

[lolcantturn]

[freeride53]
