E36 Straight 6 Engine Info! | Riding With Chris! 

Chris rocking the channel 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

Still waiting for a mythbuster esque video on the m50 manifold swap on M/S5x Motors

appreciate the knowledge drop chris. forums are definitely dead these days and you get your head bit off for asking questions instead of digging through 15 year old outdated posts. it's an stuff a lot of these guys could answer in 2 minutes too

Wow that was a lot of information. I spent a long time compiling a lot of that same random knowledge but I’ve never seen so much given in one concise “post”. Good job!

Digging this format, Chris.

riding clutch with Chris (: really informative ! Thanks for taking the time and pumping out the content !

What an awesome video! Keep this up!

Def enjoyed this video and would appreciate more of these Chris.

I loved the info! I'm building an OBD 2 e36 and appreciate the tips! Definitely the explanations

These are cool brother

Great video Chris. Throughly enjoyed it. My favorite build I did was probably a NV m50 with an hx35 and MS. NV motors are my favorites for the forged internals and the fact that you can pick up a complete car with a running motor and good trans for less than $1,000 if you look around. ARP's and a Cometic and you can romp them pretty hard and they take it. Wish I still had some of the clips or pictures of that build. I forget how much I did it for budget wise but it was cheap since I bought the DIY MS and wired it myself. That's probably the cheapest way to keep the cost down vs. The PNP MS3 pro if you're okay with wiring your own stuff.

Amazing knowledge. Hoping you will do an E46 engine video.

Lots of good knowledge here 👍. Definitely learned a thing or two

Chris, dropping some knowledge. Pull up your chair and take notes...

Super

❤

Currently in the process of building an m50b30 supercharged stroker. The info you went over in this vid was helpful to me thankyou. From what i've heard the disadvatage of a longer stroked engine when using forced induction is that you tend to get more problems with vibration at higher rpm and that an aftermarket vibration damper such as the ati superdamper with crank adapter over the stock damper are really helpful in reducing the vibrations.

i love you guys

Awesome info happy to hear how solid the m50 is. Just finishing up a turbo m50 and yes lol the head will crack when heated well past 300*

m50b30 NA thats all I need

All the data!!

How much are used m50/m52 heads going for now

Hey guys. Any tips for swapping in an m54 into an e30 any help would be awesome.

Chris hi , I bought the hood for e30 over the weekend, question a budget e30 what engine in i6, would be a nice engine I here n54 or should in do e36 engine ...

Id really like to do something to increase the power on my M50 engined E34 525iA. It is a complete dog around town, and I know the Automatic is partly to blame,but it is getting tired with 260K on it. Im not a fan of forced induction,but I know here in Denver @ altitude it is the way to go.

Ive also read that the m52tu has a forged crank same as a m54b30. Can you confirm this? (For boost , 2.8 crank poor mans rotating assembly swap? Better oil rings anyways? ) cant find much info on the componets in the m52tu...

Is it possible to use m52b28 rotating assembly in m54 block?

If your running boost, wouldnt the m52 manifold give you everything low end,then boost packs it in? Why dont more turbo builds use m52 vs. M50?

First! Thanks for the video Chris!

So, boost is better on a e36 328i over an e46 328i. Fun facts, very nice.

Its crazy how people glaze people that dont know what there need to kno

Where's Chris??

Gallo 24 or m52? Which do you prefer?

Not sure is with the same with the US spec but the Euro m52 had an aluminium block compared to the iron block on the m50

Not sure why you obsessed with bore to stroke ratio. It has almost nothing to do with torque production.
