Found a pot of gold yesterday! 3 Stage Manifold

AWSB328iM · 03-18-2018, 05:00 PM

So my father and I went down to the local pull a part because I saw they had 3 E90 328i on the lot. He needed a HVAC panel, dome light lenses and cup holders for his 2007 E90. I saw in a photo of one car online that it had a 3-Stage manifold, A rarity being in Tennessee, so we drive down Saturday morning. We find one of the cars and it has a few parts my father wants. I go looking for the other two. Ten minutes later I spot the second, burned out interior with nothing usable. Then I turn around looking for the third E90 and it's directly across from the other. I walk up and can't believe my eyes! A three stage manifold 90% removed from the motor. Just a vent hose and the disa wires attached! Someone had removed it for the starter. Feeling like I won't the lottery I went and paid for it......$25.00!! Took the Disa Valves out at home and they are rock solid!

I also took home the airbox from the same car so I can have a spare to cut the charcoal filter out of and possibly do a Dinan style ram air mod.

So when I get some other projects out of the way I'll soon be the next member of the 3-Stage Manifold club!

Damm,

$25.00 for the manifold, through in the gaskets and the free tune from Hassmachine and you will easily be the cheapest 328 > 330 upgrade yet.

Good for you.

Thats the plan!

Sick find!! I need to find some time to install mine...it's been collecting dust since the Fall

hassmaschine · 03-18-2018, 09:00 PM

Hah, see? People asking $400 for a used manifold/disas are insane! Some ask that much without actuators. You should be able to buy them all day long < $100.

Let nobody be stuck with a nerf'd factory N52.

Yes I agree! I semi actively looked for a year and lucked out this weekend! Can you PM me with the details of what I need to get your stock 330 tune? I'll go ahead and order the BimmerGeeks cable.

Thanks!
