You may have to cut and shut it as there is less room in the E30 bay than the E36 and being cast may be a problem.

Might be easier to hack one of these up to fit.

dude

first link is spot on mate
ill order one

Second and third link im sure are the mani`s everyone advises to stear clear of but for £100 nothing to loose thanks for taking the time to reply chappy

[leeparkes]

I could be wrong but i think the second and thirds ones are prone to cracking if you dont brace the turbo.

[Gunni]

Those are all LHD manifolds.

[Tondeur]

gunni would not say anything against you as you seem to be the kiddie on here but i don`t see why this would not bolt up to a RHD m50.

Could you please specify the complication

Many Thanks
Tondeur

[manse73]

i think lhd and rhd manifolds differ due to the steering uj in the engine bay but i could be wrong

[Pitlips]

Did you ever buy any of these manifolds?

[sunnysr]

All are useless for rhd they they foul the steering and if you mounted it upside down the turbo would be fouling Tue rocker cover they are for m50 engines too .

[balilu91]

Did you ever buy any of these manifolds?

i ordered one of them stainless steel ones and it was delivered a few days ago but they are no good for RHD.

they foul the steering if mounted as bottom mount and they foul the head if mounted for top mount.

i bought it knowing it was no good so i ve cut the collector & t3 flange and ill reroute it to a more suitable top mount location

[leeparkes]

I saw a pic the other day of M52 manifolds turned upside down and welded together, didnt look a bad job!
Ill try and find it later and post it up

[leeparkes]

[sunnysr]

If that will clear the head on a rhd suppose you could even angle it out to clear it that looks ideal and such an easy option

[Pitlips]

Great idea! Is this on a forum somewhere?
