I second this. Very clear and explanatory. I used it while working on my car

A little hack that I thought up, when I realized that I was going to have to remove my intake and hoses etc., was to find some 2" dia. automotive/Marine Grade heat shrink tubing. Most of the time we think of heat shrink tubing as thin pieces for little wires, but it comes in some really big sizes as well. This heat shrink tubing has the added advantage of not just being oil/chemical resistant, but water-proof as well. It has a thick coating of very sticky heat-activated adhesive inside that seals 🦭 😳 out the elements. I'm sure many will say that that's not spec. or whatever, but in a pinch it works and gives you time to order a replacement if you need to. I'm glad I did because I broke one of those evap hoses and this stuff did the job perfectly. I now keep an assortment of high-grade heat shrink tubing, because in an emergency you could actually use it to patch up a busted radiator hose. Here's the link to the 2" heat shrink, if anyone is interested.

@@autohut3720 how to tell what flash a used bmw 128 i bought has? it already has a 3 stage but idk if they tuned it for it, or if they added more tunes

Went from a 328 to a 330. Nice

thank you for the insightful video! Just picked up a 3 stage intake and DISA valves. My concern was going to be able to drive it to the tuners. Looks like I can with the new DISA valves in place.

I create an account thru Bimmerlabs for my 325i N52N 2009 3 stage intake manifold tune but there is no tune file for 330i as well the RSA Del file like you've shown in your video...only have 6 stock tune file that they gave me on my project. Any idea guys??

When you rebuilt your disa valves did you use any silicone on the flap screw? I just bought the Ukarauto rebuild kit and some people on the forums were saying how it wasnt tight enough

@autohut3720

I rebuild my valves with the oem plastic parts and do many updates I’ve developed myself to have them be as sturdy as possible so I have never had to deal with the metal flap kits at all. I suppose if the shaft screws on to the flap you would want to make sure it doesn’t come loose over time

Hey I have a question what is the year of your car and what model?

I have a 3 stage from a 2006 330i, would it work on my 2008 528i? The tune aswell?

Will the 3stage N52 manifold fit the N53 engine? Are they the same? Great video btw

@autohut3720

3 жыл бұрын

I believe the n53 came with its own version of the 3 stage but I’m not sure at all. I believe the headports are different or rather have offset mounting points so if you were to fit one to your engine you would have to make sure it’s for N53 or see if an n52 one would happen to work. We didn’t get the n53 here so no experience with it.

What are the gains out of this ?

I appreciate the video. Do you know if this manifold swap and tune can be done on an 03 Z4 with the 3.0 n52?

Thanks so much for the video. I have a quick question, there is a harness that goes behind the engine and has 3 connectors, 2 for bank 2 O2 sensors on the exhaust manifod and a 3rd one that I cannot find. So on the dame line there are 3 connectors 3 for O2 sensors short wires I think is bank 2 so second set of O2 sensors and a third connector. Can you help me out with where you think that would go. Thanks a lot

@getitdone6694

Ok never mind I found it the whole set up is supposed to go under the car and connect there, there is a bracket too, and the 3rd connector is for the oil lever sensor.

Question; I've got a third-party injen intake currently installed on my 328. But I wanted to try out the 330i manifold to attain that tune. Is it possible to use the 330i manifold in conjunction with the third party intake, or would I have to go OEM? Great video, thanks.

@autohut3720

It should fit perfectly and work well with the intake. The 3 stage has all the same mounting points, difference is internally and having the disa valves to control runner length. Other than that nothing changes where it went before

The basic tune that is free will not because it’s only for msv80 and msv70. N51 uses msv80.1, we have tried to flash a tune from the 330 onto it with no results. You need a custom tune from like stage fp or active auto etc.

Good video , I did the same on my e60 525i , did bimmerlabs tune too , all good , just one piece of advice ... looking at your video you should replace that top radiator hose , if you look closely you can see the plastic neck turning brown , that’s a sure sign that plastic is gonna brake soon , ask me how I know .. lol , if u just put light pressure on it it will crumble . Rubber part hardly ever fails , it’s the dam bmw plastic that does .
