Yes, of course!!!
Kind of, but I'm still confused.....
What is this about again???
Great stuff!! Would be interested in hearing the experience from someone that has done it on a 323i ... I know it's possible, but who has done it and how are the results?

So at the crank 230hp with all that...
Stock M3 is 220HP at the crank right? Or 220HP ATW? So does that mean with those mods the 2.8 can reach stock M3 HP numbers?
Cams $300, Software $289, M50 intake $100, cold Air $80, Exhaust $450...so lets say $1.2k to get 206WHP?
Whats the highest HP N/A 2.8l here?

hmm so an N/A 2.8 can make M3 numbers. Interesting.
side question, how much is an m3 clutch new?
S52 OEM Clutch from AutoHausAZ was $292

thanks! My stocker is calling it quits me.
This may be a completly rediculas question. But what is an M50? I have an OBD1 1994, 2.5
I was just looking for clarifaction on some of these codes, i kinda follow that the 328's are the m52 and the M3 is the S52.
Great thread, tons of info. definitly bump to sticky
Check out this handy link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M50

So this says i have an M50B25 very interesting. Thanks for the link!
Bump again for sticky
The M50 is a 2.5L and came on the pre-1996 E36 cars. In 1996 the M52 was used. It is an OBD2 2.8L, the main reason for the bump in displacement was emissions. They both make near the same power but the 328 has a nudge more torque.
You don't need the m50 mani-swap as you already have that engine. But on the 328 it makes a hella diff in performance.
M52 also comes in a 2.5L ... but noticably less power than the M50 2.5L ...

sorry to bump this again, but what exactly needs to be modified on the manifold to make it work, I was checking Eric's website and it says his manifolds are slightly modified and they sell for $180, but you can get a manifold elsewhere for around $100 bucks. Is it worth the $80 bucks or is it something you can do to the manifold fairly quick.
Thanks

ok so i'm in the middle of the swap and have a question for those of you who've done it. I'm installing eric's full kit. How am i supposed to fit the 1/4" vacuum line that comes off of the manifold hose connector to the bottum of the charcoal canister solenoid? The original hose is much bigger, and there's no way I can fit the 1/4" hose onto the connector on the bottum of the solenoid... I must've missed something. please help!
how am i supposed to make that work?
or am i completely retarted and have the wrong hose/connector

e36 328is- RIP
e30 325is- sold

put some lube, water mixed with dish soap, or real rubber lube P80 or something...and push it on.
it's a tight fit but it'll go. trust me.

I think I put a link to my SAMCO ASC delete thread at the top but there ya go. By removing the ASC TB you remove a restriction in the intake tract. The ASC TB is physically smaller in diameter than ever other opening in the intake system. The SAMCO boot replaces it with a smooth silicone elbow.
