3 Stage Intake Manifold Swap DIY STEP by STEP 

"I recommend you to do it, or not... Do whatever you want!" Man, I love this guy! Only a REAL man can fix the car one-handed while shooting a video, wearing flip-flops and dishwashing gloves...and has a sense of humor to boot! Thank you Sir for a pretty good 'how to' video and quite a few laughs.

One of the best instructional videos out there on this niche subject. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and kudos on that immaculate engine bay Sir.

Went from a 328 to a 330. Nice

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to show what it all looks like in there.

Great detailed video - thank you. Will be tackling this very soon on my 2011 E90 328i X-Drive!

thank you for the valuable information! learned a ton! cant wait to do it to mine. Keep them coming

You got the best, best videos for this 3stage DIY!! Thank's!!

Thanks for mentioning the DISA valves! I did this intake swap this weekend and had no clue what to do with those connectors since they weren't used with the stock manifold.

Good video sir. Thanks for taking the time to explain stuff so well and the camera work by yourself

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.

This video was a lifesaver. Thank you for the clear and step by step instructions!

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.

Nice work

Bravissimo! 👏🏼💪🏼

that valve cover hose for the PCV, i feel your pain dude! I could hear it in your voice, it gave me the same goddamn trouble.

Sooooo. We gon ignore the kitchen 🧤 😂! Great video tho. 👍🏾

Love the dishwashing 🧤 lol

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?

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??

He is funny as!!

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

I’m doing this now, and I’m putting the 3 stage into an early e90 325i manual. My manual car does not have both diss wires. I only have the long one. Have you come access this?

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

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

bro the gloves LOLOL

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

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.

these come standard on euro spec 25i up...

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

Great video !!! i purchase a used stage 3 intake with a single manifold port but currently have a 2 manifold port on my 325i intake, dunno what to do ? whats my next step ? Please anyone !

What are the gains out of this ?

Did you say on the heater valve the updated one has got the notch or doesn't have a notch?

Hi, I'm upgrading the intake manifold for a three stage on a n52, can you tell me which connector is for the big DISA? The longer or the shorter one, thanks 🙏🏽

Hello , so I just found out I have a sulvel n52 and I have a 3 stage intake manifold already in the car , would I still need to flash tune it ?

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 .

E90 right

Are you still making BMW videos?😊

Hi mate, I've got a BMW E63 630i n52 engine , does it worth it upgrades to stage 3 manifold ? And also, do I need to do any software changes or just manifold change ? Thank you

Car crank but won’t start after swapping intake manifold. Code reads coding data incorrect. Plz help nd I forgot to disconnect the battery while doing it

Where you located

The pcv has been recalled on this model, you can bring it to the dealership and they’ll fix it for free

Would a n52 stage 3 manifold fit on a 2009 e90 328i N51?

How’s it working ? Still all good?

Call me l need your assistance I’ll pay you my BMW check engine light goes on and off and l was told it’s the mass air flow sensor l changed it and my car still have a jerk and hiccup when it’s running.

This not step by step

For the 4x4 code all you have to do is turn the wheel full lock both ways to clear. Left then right.

ALWAYS REPLACE YOUR THROTTLE BODY GASKET AND 6 MANIFOLD GASKETS. THEY ARE A ONE TIME USE SEAL THANK ME LATER. Dont listen to dumbies
