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. KO Performance
has solved the mechanics problem
offering a complete kit which
installs in roughly 3 hours.
The KO M50 Manifold Conversion
kit includes all of the components
required to covert your OBDII
M3 over to an OBDI M50 Manifold.
The KO M50 Manifold Conversion
Kit is probably the best bang
for the buck performance modification
available... period! We know of
no other performance tuning upgrade
which offers more horespower per
dollar, in as short an install
time, without software tuning,
than this kit offers.
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).
