This will be my next project. Already have the Shark Injector Tune in my car and it runs
fantastic. Gonna add some UUC under drive pulleys as well. On sale now
for $183.20 from UUC, gotta snap some up now.
Contacted seller late last night and Adapter Plate is available. It's plug and play unlike the
Adapter Plate from Turner Motorsports which requires modification/grinding to fit and clear the (ICV) Idle Control Valve...
LOL, Im not gonna take that chance. I just want a clean install.
Need to source a M54B30 Intake Manifold and plug up (2) Vacuum Ports as I understand it and it's a clean changeover.
Intake Gaskets are the same so I'll get a new fresh set. Replace all other related Vacuum Lines and the
Brake Booster Grommet underneath the Intake Manifold and Sucking Jet and related rubber to the Brake Booster for good measure.
Gonna need a 530i Disa Valve which; if I don't buy a new one, I will find a used one and upgrade with the G.A.S.
Disa Valve Kit. Will change the Secondary Air Electric Valve and One Way Air Valve as well
for good measure. Recondition my Fuel Injectors or I might buy some new ones.
Just changing over the Intake Manifold alone will be a minimal investment, the
results from what I have read on this in conjunction with my Shark Tune yields
surprisingly great results.
Gotta start gathering all related parts and plan for a bit of downtime to do this project.
Will let you know how it works out when it all is done...Just trying to squeeze a few more Ponies
outta my 2000 Inline 6 528i...
