Advice for m50b25tu with m54b30 intake cam

(1/3) > >>

jc43089:
Hey, just wondering if anyone is running the m54b30 intake cam in their m50b25tu.  Also which tune would be a good starting point.  I haven't purchased the chip yet but I will be getting one and installing it and the cam while its torn apart for the winter.  Also at what point do I need to upsize injectors?  Using some calculators it appears the stock 17# aren't good for much more than the stock 190hp.

No major mods, K&N CAI, m52 stock exhaust headers, .020 over, maxsil pistons, UUC flywheel, no A/C.

What exhaust cam will you be using, m50nv intake?

It seems like at this time they don't have a tune for that setup, and will probably tell you to start with the m50 performance.  But I could be wrong,  I plan on running the m54 intake and m50nv intake in the future, so hopefully it works out for you, and we can share some info.

Just using the stock exhaust cam, I was told by the guy who I got the cam from, who builds lots of BMW engines, that I should just use the stock exhaust cam unless going to turbo, then use the nv intake cam on the exhaust side.  I am curious if the m50 perf or a tune for m50 w/ s50 cams would be a better starting point.  The cam is about in the middle, but closer to the s50 cam.  This could be wrong about the exhaust cam advice, so take it with a grain of salt.

ding:
I would this the s50 cams tune would be very close if you used the m50nv cam for the exhaust, as the profile is close ish.

I would love and appreciate more information about this combination of camshafts in a M50 engine
