2.5 M50 500hp.

and who wants to see inside the manifold?




















The twin scroll separation is a joke it stops before it reaches the wastegate there leaving it permanently open giving me a constant boost leak

[Demlotcrew]

That looks like it should be under a kitchen sink, not in a car!

WOW!

You mention the "welder" having a day job?

It's not Hottuning is it?

[e30s50b30]

this is gutting not sure what to think for i hold gunni in high regard !

[B3_Drift_]

I've said all along if i ever received an edequate explanation from Gunni i would not have gone down this route. He just doesnt care and thats the bottom line.

Theres never been an explanation for why the manifold was welded the way it is, there has never been any form of compensation or an apology.

[tomislav]

He seems to have gone to ground lately now

[B3_Drift_]

This is quite common for him. Call him out on something and its someone else's fault or he'll just ignore you.

[e30s50b30]

Guys has anyone on here ever had work done by gunni to the standard that we have seen on these threads ? I'm not stiring jack just asking as might have used him in future on a turbo build now that route is hanging in the balance as I have been bitten before to the tune of 5k by a clown from Nottingham ruined my m3 vert and built a shoddy e30 so I'm genuinely asking , and gunni if you are reading this post something so we can all rest with an explanation as we are potential customers and all zoners .i'm no angel but fair is fair . Rant over

[maxfield]

It didn't happen to be a silver convertible and the engine went in a red E30 does it?

Jank is not the word

[e30s50b30]

Yes that was it lol and that manifold looks like it should have been part of that build lol , looking at it reminds me of my nightmare . But big red is a swan now no longer Frankenstein !

[maxfield]

Afraid to say I know the lad.

And I know what his works like. But that's all I'm going to say.

Never saw the conversion but Peter tells me it was shocking.

[e30s50b30]

Aha my car was shizz should have kept my e36?it was a sweet ride destroyed by a fool , are u Craig by any chance or know Craig ?

[e30s50b30]

Take your car there and u will cry !

[maxfield]

Pm'ed you

[DanThe]

5 bags? I seem to remember you were quoted less than that to have the engine inspected and a proper S50 conversion performed!

[penton08]

That manifold reminds me of the plumbing the the Goonies!! In the tuning/modding business you will always get a few fuck ups from time to time, but it is how these problems are sorted that shows the men from the cowboys!

[e30s50b30]

I'm talking of the car m3 and what I paid him it actually was more coz I paid 4,6 k for the m3 then paid for that horror conversion too !

[e30s50b30]

Can I ask can a 2.5 even make 400 bhp ?

[Jon_Bmw]

I've just been sick.

That manifold should be illegal.

[e301988325i]

Gunni seems to offer help quite freely to everybody on here. He comes across as a switched on guy and I'm surprised to see him passing on that quality of work to a paying customer.

[e30s50b30]

Maybe he had a bad day and we don't have both sides ? I don't know coz I counted on him for my turbo build now my dream is in tatters after seeing that monstrosity ! A man can only take one of those in a life time and I have taken mine in Nottingham lol , I want to erase Mansfield from my atlas and sat nav ! Brings back horror moments !

[B3_Drift_]

I'd be happy to hear any explanation as well. I guess he's keeping his mouth shut as he has pending court action against him from Andeep. However that shouldnt affect this manifold. I could easily take this to a small claims court as well if i wanted to.

[jonb]

My advice would be to never 'tune' or 'modify' your car in that way. If you want a fast car then buy one in the first place. I put a thread up about remaps which confirms my sentiment.

As for that manifold i think stevie wonders dog could have done a better job.

[goosiegander]

Wow!

[Gunni]

Was able to road test the 328i.

0.5bar @3000rpm
1bar@3500rpm
1.3bar@4000rpm

using 66% throttle in 3rd gear, after 4000rpm I just had wheelspin action. Hoping for dyno early next month.

[Simon13]

With great challenges comes great engineering. - not from you eh?!

This guy is finished on here, theres no coming back from this!

[ross_jsy]

Can I ask can a 2.5 even make 400 bhp ?

Yes, very easily. 600hp is where the rods start to melt. An m50 will happily take 500hp with nothing more than a thicker MLS headgasket and ARP head bolts.

Real shame to see this, but that manifold is shockingly bad.

[Kos]

I know of 2 m20's packing over 500 bhp at the wheels

Both reliable as Swiss watch and one is brutally abused

[Andyboy]

You bad man!

I quite like the way that this was posted, but all the "bad posts" have been completely ignored.

Top man.

[B3_Drift_]

Well thats what i had to deal with all the way through.

And i'll keep posting whereever he posts/trades until i get a full apology and he takes it back and refunds my money.
