M50 Tuning

[fowler]

JO just save cash and supercharge it the amount of pissing about for about as much bhp to run your headlights is shite TBH

[Jhonno]

I think the S52 cams are mild enough to run with a supercharger..

[fowler]

each to there own you could run super charger on a stock S 50 that will be a weapon
Kits are available !!!

I have to say Fowler is making sense here but from experience some people just love staying NA.

I am a fan of N/A HOWEVER i would run a supercharger.. N/A power delivery but oh soo much torque!

[DanThe]

Supercharger kits are £3,000 upwards though IIRC

and lifetime guaranteed to boot.....

S50B30/32 kits are £6.2K

M50/52 are 3K bang on

Having sampled the M50/52 and M50 inlet with S52 cams, I'd save a few more £Â£ and go FI, its way more cost effective than any N/A tuning, especially given BMW did a great job on the M/S5X series engines in the 1st place.

@ Sal, any chance of sharing your new file for the M52B28 with Jay ? his car is SLOW as hell dude, S L O W

What sort of horse could you get on a Rotrex'd M52B28 with (a) stock internals and (b) some low comp goodness?

[Ant]

can run 10 to 14 psi on stock internals, thats 300+ HP and no BS.

Currently have

2 x M20 ( Stock and low CR )
1 x S50B30 on the brew, should see the light of day come early April.
