Here is my dyno with the M50 manifold kit

[m3f_Matutino]

I took my car for a dyno after my M50 intake manifold kit and I'm very happy with it

Here is the dyno

235.6RWHP and 221.4TQ

If you want it I have one more, here is the link

argh.. every time you show this i drool.. lol.. just outta curiousity... do u have a pic of the manifold setup installed in ur car? damn.. i need to get a good job this summer

[m3f_Max M3]

Those are some excellent numbers with those mods!

Which Dinan software are you running?

Do you have a dyno plot before the M50? I'm curious what the comparison looks like in the lower rpm's.

[m3f_Matutino]

I have Dinan stage I and the guy who did the dyno told me that I need to upgrade my SW to stage IV. I don't have a dyno w/o the M50 kit. I'm so happy with those #'s

Matutino, I have a question. I see that you have the UR crank pulley. I read the previous thread about the pulleys and there are many different opinions on pulleys. What i want to know is when you put in your crank pulley did you feel a noticeable differance? How many miles have you put on your car with this pulley and has it caused you any problems? Also i know that Unorthodox racing sells the crank pulley and also acc pulleys, but i was reading that a crank pulley alone, has the same if not more power gains alone. Why would the set be sold together if the gains are practically the same with either three accessory pulleys alone, or the crank pulley alone? I'm confused. I always heard that underdriving can potentially be harmful to the engine so i'm not sure what to do. Any input from somenoe with any pulleys, weather it be crank pulley ac pulleys or both would be helpful. Thanks guys.

Very nice numbers. That is about 30 higher than a stock run. How does the car feel with the new power? Do you feel the torque loss at the lower RPM's?



Finally, how difficult was the installation?

With the crank pulley the car feels much better, it revs a lot better than before and you can feel a strong gain in first and second gear. I put it cause I was gonna install the M50 manifold kit and I wanted to gain back the midrange loose of torque. Many people will tell you that is not good for your engine but the true is that there is no proof of damage with it. I love mine and I have done in between 1500 to 2000 miles with it and everything works perfect. The kit of all the pulleys is to save weight but the only one that is gonna give you gains is the crank pulley.

Is up to you if you wanna put it or not but let me tell you that if you buy it you are gonna love it.

The car feels awesome, first gear if craziness.....so much power there that is difficult to control, I really don't feel the TQ loss cause I put the crank pulley to get it back, but if you don't have it you will feel it a little, after 4.5k the car pulls like crazy.

With a better SW I should be able to get a few more horses.

So how difficult was the install of the manifold?

[m3f_fabio_4388f721e9]

Thanks for your help. I have to think about what i have to do. I wish i was rich and i wouldn't have to think 100 times about something before i decide if i should do it, if it's worth the money or if i have enough money to fix any problems. :banghead: :banghead:

[m3f_Matutino]

I took me 4hours (by myself) but is not difficult at all, you just have to take your time and do it slowly, is pretty much straightforward installation. If you do your own oil change you can do this.

[m3f_PurpleM3Pursuit]

97blk.. looks like we both may have to save and just do it together.. lol.. i mean put the manifolds on the same day.. hehe..

[m3f_park828_94ead836d3]

now i need to dyno.. hope my numbers are as good as yours!!!!!!! manifold was a biaaaaaaach but worth it !!

[m3f_fabio_4388f721e9]

Park828, If you look at a couple of posts up you'll see that i asked Matutino about his UR Crank Pulley. He says he loves it and it's great. Now i would like to ask you your expierience with your UUC Under drive pulleys. You don't have the crank pulley with that right? So how did you like it when you first installed them? I hear all these different things about crank pulleys and accessory pulleys and i don't know what to do. So i figure asking people who actaully have these products is the best way to go.

Did you feel a noticeable difference? Was it worth the money? Did your engine or internal components like your air conditioner or radio or whatever else get affected by the underdrive pulleys? How many miles have you put on your car with those pulleys? Sorry for all the questions. It's just that i'm in mod withdrawal. I haven't bought anything for my car in a really long time and i need to do something. Any input would be appriciated. Thanks. :thumbsup:

I'm glad you like it. Is really nice after 4.5k
