cant wait to get my BBTB...

[rich318i]

getting a M52 BBTB plus with my M50 manifold. Anyone else got this setup? love to know what BHP your getting!!

[macas]

Have you already done your m52 conversion?and has it the standerd inlet manifold?

If so,(i know it cost money)but it would be good to get before and after power figures.

Am planning getting one of these myself for my conversion.....

Rich,how much was all together with the m50 adapter plate?

[rich318i]

got my M50 ages ago with it all sorted but the adapter is £150

[rich318i]

that link to that seller i gave ya he does do them message him. think they cost £200 all sorted from him. thats for the M50 manifold + adaptor

going to get a remap in the new year and some people can get 253BHP with all the mods

[magpie]

his adaptor plates are £10, bbtb £80 = £90

how do you get £150 or are you including the cost of your m50 manifold ?

[rich318i]

because the M52 manifold is not like the M50. or we got our lines crossed lol

[macas]

because the M52 manifold is not like the M50. or we got our lines crossed lol

But he does say the adaptor plate is so we can fit it to the m50 manifold?

[polsta]

he says you can put them on an e30 , what would a btbb be like on a 325 standard ? would it also make it a lot more thirsty ?

[magpie]

so if you have an m50 manifold you only need to spend £90 + post for a bbtb and a plate and your good to go ?

thats it mate thought u was on about the M50 adaptor for the ICV and so on... job done!!

[rich318i]

Noooo!!! message him for everything for it. for plug and play is about 250

[rich318i]

you need this aswell

Wait there a minute......forgetting the bbtb,i thought the m50 manifold fits without any such kit mentioned in that link?

Or do you need it specifically when using the bbtb?
Sorry if im sounding a bit thick here....

[rich318i]

to make to the M50 work on the M52 you need..

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1965- ... 52s52.aspx

THIS SETUP^^^^ IS LIKE OEM M50 TO M52

its for the ICV and that, others buy DIY pipes and j-chips and that for it to work but thats not the way to go. loads of people get air leaks (problems)
Then the BBTB is easy

[penton08]

sure..

Total shite im affraid!! I bought one from the same seller, after fitting i had idle issues and a crap throttle response. I swapped back to standard and its perfect again. The butterfly does not seal in the TB and the edges are not chamfered resulting in a nasty pedal feel!!

[DanThe]

You dont need any of that crap, your throwing your money away. Any HP gain is negligible too

Iv just read this and the outcome is,is tgat there is no need for this kit?

That was what was confusing me......

[macas]

So the 8-10 bhp is abit suss(the bbtb that is)?

[rich318i]

why didnt you give him bad feedback? his got 100% good feedback

[penton08]

why didnt you give him bad feedback? his got 100% good feedback

Same old story!! I left feedback when I received it, 3 months later I got round to fitting it

[rich318i]

if thats the case its a part thats not safe and misleading selling.

It is not unsafe or misleading, it is just crap!

[rich318i]

what set up was you running?

[rich318i]

i just message him about it and he reply was.. i'd give you your mony back if that happens. its not shipped yet so im asking him now b4 it is posted covering my self

[magpie]

after reading the above comments and reading Lees posts in the link i'd get your money back now Rich .

[rich318i]

Thats the thread that made me think of getting one.....

[rich318i]

Mag mate i'll find out my self.. but the dude has 100% feedback 619 in total. you have to be a prat to give feedback b4 you try the part out....

No not just that but the ECU NEEDS REMAPPING thats what everyone forgets

[rich318i]

you should try driving a M52 with racing cams bad idle is an under statment.

[magpie]

Danthe does remapped ecu's for m50 inlets and i've got mine on order with him for when i drop the m52 in .penton has this set up on his m52 and it nailed a really good time on it's first outing at pod this year,i've forgot the time exactly but it was good and in the 13's with a strong headwind .

i'm just going to stick with Dan's advice but hope your bbtb doesn't turn into a setback.

[rich318i]

you need a custom remap to your car not a clone!
