KO has discovered a number of
Genuine BMW parts and accessories
which can make outstanding upgrades
to your BMW as direct replacement
parts or OEM quality upgrades accross
BMW models. The OEM E36 OBDI M50
Manifold is one of such kind of
parts.
As always, changes were made to
the E36 platform when cars went
from OBDI to OBDII in 1996. In many
cases, some of these changes resulted
in the 1995 OBDI M3 possessing a
performance advantage over the newer
OBDII E36 M3s from 1996-1999 mostly
due to emmissions restriction laws.
One of the changes toward the lower
power side of the spectrum involved
the E36 OBDII M3 manifold being
airflow restrictive compared to
the OBDI manifold, which, in a performance
M3, or BMW tuning application, at
some point becomes a limiting factor.
This restricted air flow problem
can be corrected, and opened up
by installing an OBDI M50 M3 manifold
onto an OBDII M3, resulting in approximatey
twice the runners capactiy, increasing
airflow and fuel mixture capabilities.
To accomplish this conversion from
OBDI to OBDII a number of differences
between the two manifolds and their
linkups and mechanics must be accounted
for.
The
KO
M50 Manifold Conversion kit
includes the M50 manifold, which
is required for the Eurosport Conversion
kit as well, at much better pricing
than you can find the M50 manifold
by itself without the Basic Coversion
components. You can't go wrong!

We installed the M50 Manifold conversion
kit on our E36 1997 Dinan Base,
KO
Stage III Boosted Supercharged M3
and saw an
additional 32 rear
wheel horsepower on the dyno
from this modification alone (see
dyno to the right).
