MotoIQ - TESTED: S52 v M50 Manifold (& TMS Stg 2&3) on E36 M3.

Hey guys,

Check out my article on MotoIQ where we back-to-back dyno tested:

- Baseline (Stock 1999 E36 M3 with 190K+ on the clock) vs.
- M50 Manifold vs.
- TMS Stage 2 with M50 Manifold vs.
- TMS Stage 3

Enjoy.

Good article.

I did the M50 swap after I had headers and pullies, even on the street I liked the increase in top end pull, more what you associate with an M-car.

On MaxPsi's load bearing dyno I did 220whp with s52 Mani, headers, cat back, pullies and intake. My friend did a before and after on the same dyno day and showed 13whp with the M50.

My swap was right before the FI, didn't get a dyno of the M50.
