  • @daledog16
    @daledog16 Před 3 lety

    I’m learning more about my 06 330xi xdrive each day. I have the metal valve cover with the 3 stage manifold with the single port with DISA valves. Right now I had finish up with the new CCV replacement but I have the P0171 and P0174 codes. Not air leaks so hopefully now after I get my new MAF in it fixes my codes for running lean. Otherwise I don’t know if it’s something else. Only things left to replace that’s new and OEM replacements would be the VANOs and IGN coils. I get some sputtering while under load which I know could be like 5 things but I guess this car will be fresh lol.

  • @bbarry8097
    @bbarry8097 Před 5 lety +23

    Reset the DME adaptations!
    Must be done to erase how the system has adapted to the previous manifold, so it can adapt to the new manifold's behavior from scratch. Factory instructions are to reset, then idle for ten seconds, then shut off. They don't say this next step, but right after that, do some hard highway driving winding out in a few gears, and drive generally on the gas a lot over the first tankful.
    Its amazing how hardly anyone ever says to do it, but should be the first step after any engine performance mod.
    Btw did you measure intake MAF flow before and after? 1/2 the percentage of MAF flow increase is ~ the power increase at any given RPM.

  • @tehBika
    @tehBika Před 5 lety

    I got a 3 stage manifold off a 06 330 with a blown engine (free). However there are some things wrong with it. All the wires to the DISA valves and side terminals have been cut, the manifold had a good amount of oil in it, and I have no idea what connects to the spade connectors mounted to the side of the manifold. I have a pic but can't post it obviously. If anyone could offer some assistance on wiring this I'd appreciate it.

    I was really excited to find this video but after watching the whole video and searching your channel I could not find any follow up videos that showed the end results.. I'm glad you are making loads of money on CZcams but making a video that leaves viewers wondering what the fix was and the end results is a huge waste of time.. you failed to make the car run correctly and never posted a follow up video... to me that is a huge fail. I guess its more lucrative to make stupid misleading lotto scratcher videos! LAME!!
