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 Perfromance M50 Manifold
Conversion kit includes all of the
components required to covert your
OBDII M3 over to an OBDI M50 Manifold,
requiring some mechanical ability,
but an upgrade which can be installed
successfully by a very knowledgable
home mechanic. Another alternative
is available to complete the conversion
to M50 manifold, the Eurosport M50
Manifold Conversion kit.
Either way you decide to go, the
KO M50 Manifold Conversion
kit includes the M50 manifold, sold
in the kit, or sold separately as
well, which is required for the
Eurosport Conversion kit as well.
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

track car with our
