Nice! What benefits does this design have over the more typical setup. Operating range? OA power?

Better throttle response

Better idle

Smoother running over all

Needed more fuel across the board

Big gain in mid range/top-end

Intake temps dropped 20 Deg

Awesome work.

How does it sound?

You dont hear much the turbo makes for a good muffler

all done and tuned ......well worth the effort workmanship is pretty average but does the job

Did you come up with a specific length for the intake runners?

Based it off the old manifold that seemed to work ok

Where did the injectors end up on that one?

under it

Its in and runs need to give it tune to suit

Heya mate,

The key word is 'potentially'.

Like I said, this is a personal endeavor first.

Who knows what opportunities come up once you have a skill set,

and the willingness to work.

I commend you for wanting to further your life skills however you have picked a complex one to further your in-devours,

Ive been at this over 30 yrs and still learn daily if i was to look at someone like your self i would like to see at least 5 plus years in the industry, bare in mind things are changing daily so you have a hard task ahead.

Sounds like he really grinds your gears.

He gets his know how from others and profits accordingly including from me, just trying to direct in better ways

It takes many years to understand a few lessons wont get you far

HP are what they are based on others knowledge not his own, even i get mentioned in his retirement speech at the end hes done well using others experience, tuning is a black art regardless what you read if it wasnt then everything would tune up the same and thats not the case.

Im so lucky to be mentioned......not

Try these guys there not about smoke and mirrors, when i first started tuning no one helped it was about hard work and as stated a understanding today its about bright lights and sitting behind a PC and selling your self where no one can judge if your right or wrong cause its on google so must be true.

Learn from the best

lol the best ?

Im pretty up on whats needed its what my business is all about and i do this stuff 24/7

Theres also many other ways of doing things for guys on a low budget if those in the know are willing to tell

I may have read this wrong so please forgive but im pretty sure there's a slight difference in price between having a budget of 500 for a manifold versus a 8-10k + transplant, just a thought

you can make 300hp on the B25 without trying plus less work than a transplant

Stand the motor up

Front looks like the dude Magneto from X Men

If written off it will parted out.

I'd love my M3 back. I've seen the level of work the guys I'm using have done and the cars come out straighter than factory.

Right now it's a matter of just working out how to tell them 'repair it' and I'll cover the owing bill, and work hand in hand to get the parts from external sources that aren't BMW NZ

No no no no

If it doesnt end well take the money get the car back for cheap and race car it will be

Interesting setup. Can't wait to see it in action

Should work ok Audi have been using the same design since the 80's

Stock fuel rail

Well.

Interesting read. Thanks? Haha

Dont expect much and you'll never be disappointed

Tad ruff but it'll do

I'd say Mike has a bit of a capacity advantage

His motors alot smaller than 2.5

500 hp M10 ?

Its on holiday at that level

The m50 will go to 8500 on hydraulic lifters without a issue i can prove that , any higher you'll need solid, cast cranks are know to absorb harmonics better than billet even Nascar still use a cast cranks at times.

There's very little point i pulling big numbers out of any motor if your not making power there all you do is break stuff for bragging rights or a cool dyno sheet, my M50 with stock everything on a 250,000km motor apart from cams was still making torque and power at 7500 and no sign of lifter issue so why flog it.

Want more low down stroke it to whatever as for gospel? Remember its all very well people giving great advise but your the guy that's driving it and that your yet to do, so really you have no dam idea how its going to go, your longer rod gives better compression loading on the crank blah blah blah.

Here's a better deal finish it then drive it you should be around 1000-1100kg if not lighter, add to that 5-600hp 400ft/lb torque so around 2:1 power to weight , now im more than likely got this totally wrong but at a guess you'll be a ton faster than a 1200kg making 350-400hp to which i believe can lap Hampton in 1:10.

Bottom line theories are a awesome thing they can also screw with your head, plan things yes but your still got to know how to drive it and set the thing up to prove they were worth the time and money to start, many have done more with less.

I use a button head cap screw works fine, i would however machine the end of the bolt head so its flat with surface area doesnt take much for the 101 to work but making double sure never hurt
