This was exactly what I needed today...7 years after you posted it.. thanks!
I've watched so many of your videos just by searching for random tutorials/ diy. Thank you for uploading
You have no idea how much your video helped me:I got the e36 back from a friend who was working on it and the car started to backfire through the intake for no reason. We had no idea what it was for the longest time, but you mentioned the two o2 connections on top of the fuel rail a nd how they can be crisscrossed causing mishaps. I assumed my friend already taken a look at it, but apparently not. I switched them up and the car started running mint right away. I was literally about to tear apart everything to diagnose this.. dm me your PayPal so I can buy you a beer my dude.
Lmao good man! Glad you got it sorted out. Enjoy that beer for me🤘🤘
Fantastic video thanks dude. Very clear and thorough. Currently doing the M50 swap on mine
Nice man hope it all goes well!
Everything I’ve done to the motor so far you have covered!!!
Did you ever make the install video? I’m struggling haha
This video helped a lot, I managed to save everything but the fuel rail pressure regulator vacuum line and the upper rubber fuel lines.
The bulkhead panel on the firewall was a nightmare, someone glued mine in and I kinda screwed it up getting it off.
Unplugging the injectors is kinda annoying, not sure why BMW couldn't just have normal individual plugs like everyone else. The plastic cracking noises are pretty terrifying prying that harness off the injectors.
And that rear intake support bracket, which also holds the fuel lines, is impossible to get a wrench on.
honestly i just removed the rear support bracket, dont even need it really IMO lol. removing that cowel makes everything so much easier.
@@M3NACE Have you been bothered by the cops for the straight pipe on the convertible? I want that raw sound so bad but I really don't want that $1,000 fine. I get the stink eye from the Oreos just for the sound my intake makes and the Hellrot red.
@@herbienbrian2 lol nah, i daily'd it for 2ish years never had a problem, but im running full stock on both cars at the moment.
@@M3NACE It'd be nice if the SuperSprint muffler wasn't eight hundred friggin' dollars, that's the only setup besides a straight pipe that sounds good. I'm thinking about a 2.25" dual in dual out Flowmaster 50.
@@herbienbrian2 truth, ive been sayin that forever. 8 hundo is too much for a catback.
If you guys like this video now just wait! This is gonna be your go-to E36 DIY channel pretty soon!
just picked up a 98 328i and it has issue. i needed to change my crank sensor plug and i dont see no other way bit to take the manifold off. thanks for the video because this is really thorough!.....subscribed
thanks man, and best of luck with the replacement. it is possible to go from underneath the car, Its a pain in the ass any way. just make sure to replace the manifold gaskets, but basically its reverse order for the install. dont forget to torque the manifold bolts and the throttle bolts! I wish my manifold install video was coming sooner, but its several months out.
Do we still need to replace gasket seven if they look like they’re in good shape? I took off my intake manifold and I’m about to reinstall and just saw these replies where you recommend just getting a new gasket but mine looks fine
FUCK AFTER 24 YEARS WITH MY M TECH & THOUGHT I HAD RESPECT FOR MY MECHANIC THIS TAKES IT TO AN ALL NEW LEVEL,
lol
Thanks
just subbed. just bought an e36 m3. will need your expertise and videos
hell yeah, thanks bro. im working on alot of DIY's right now, sadly the head, block, or headgasket just failed on my E36, so thats why it hasnt been in any of my vlogs, but it means i will have a full set of DIY videos on head removal and anything involved. im working on some cooling system DIY's right now.
I didn't remove the injectors from the rail, its a lot easier to just remove them from the manifold. When you do do this, use some small bungee cords to hang the whole rail from the hood, same goes for the engine harness. With this method you don't have bleed the fuel rail. Note you can also relieve some fuel pressure with the small valve on the front of the rail.
True, the bleed valve on the rail does help. I have found keeping the injectors in the manifold helps prevent vaccum leaks, as i have seen alot of cars run rough from a vaccum leak at one of the fuel injectors, especially if they are old and have worn injector seals. the first few times I removed the intake manifold i kept the injectors on the rail, and from my personal experience it is better to leave them in the manifold, as its easier to make the injectors seal on the rail side than on the manifold side.
Those clips on each injector aren't referenced in the BMW maintenance book. I have an E34 and yours is the first video that I've watched that refers to those injector clips. Good video that will save others some headaches for sure.
this helped me a lot with replacing my knock sensors. thank you!
of course man!
“Pull the fuse and crank the starter” well guess I’m getting sprayed with gasoline haha
sounds like a good ol' rip the starter my dude
lol
@@M3NACE yup intakes loose but it’s still hung up on something, time to loosen random stuff😭
I've used that Schrader valve on the front and back feed a little air pressure into it. Don't hook up a 80 psi hose, but feed it 10-15psi and it will push fuel back up the line. I've even used bicycle pump.
@@davidmorrison2694 interesting, never heard that technique before. If it works it works! Lol
Very helpful, thanks for making this video
I lost a socket but o have a trusty retractable magnet! So i went look for it and i lost the trusty retractable magnet but not to worry! For some reason i have a second one and i was able to recover everything from the engine bay
Thanks for the great video,,,certainly a big help.. I'll be watching every video you've made..great channel man!!!
thanks man! more to come for sure.
What is this oil filter cup??? I want too this for oil cooling :D
Hi @M3NACE ! @11:56, you pull off a rubber thing that has an electrical connection and 2 vacuum lines attached to the bottom, but I can't figure out what that thing is called. I just did M50 manifold conversion on OBD2 ASC car and can't figure out where that vacuum line goes.
that is the EVAP purge valve. one end goes into the manifold, the other goes to the evap canister.
@@M3NACE THANKS!!! 🙌
Doing a head-gasket on my 95 E36 w/M50 and your video series has be a godsend man!!! Alls I can say is wholly crap OBD1 cars have a ton less steps and crap that has to be removed.. Cant wait to get the project done.. I do have a quick question, Since I have an M50 ( I know these have unique cam trays ) I have a friend selling S52 cams & trays, Can I use my lifters or do I need m52/s52/s50 lifters to go with the S52 cams & trays? Just wanna make sure I have all the right parts.
I would use the S52 liftera as well, im pretty sure they are taller or something like that. You could check realoem.com and see if the part numbers are the same, but the trays are different. Thanks man!
@@M3NACE Thanks for the reply man! ill check it out on real.oem asap! I bought the cams + trays.
Thanks a lot for the great video, removed the head in 5 hours tho, lol. I really hope that I can remember to put all the wire and the hoses back.
if you forget plug your vin into realoem.com. you can find vaccum diagrams and use them to figure it all out
M3NACE thanks, I will definitely check it out. I'm removing the head today, I'm doing all that to change my blown head gasket. I still didn't get the the radiator out because of the fan, I'm still waiting the tool to arrive but so far the radiator not on my way or holding me keep working!! Do I really have to take it off to access the head gasket? Thanks again :)
well, you will need to remove it to be able to disassemble the vanos unit, so yes. that being said, you can take the lower hose off of the radiator and pull the radiator up and out with the fan in place, then you should be able to get the fan shroud and the rest of the cooling system out with the fan still in place. from there all you will have to take off is the fan itself when the tool comes in.
I thought,"hey this guy is cool",then I saw you were left handed and I thought-man this guy is the s&$t!!
Lmao what an observation
Pro tip: watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Orlando Mordechai Yea, been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
@Orlando Mordechai Yea, have been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
Great video, totally fascinated and yet, would never attempt this myself...lol
But I do like watching how to just in case
Question,‘I’m trying to replace my 97 bmw 328is engine wire harness auto transmission....I see one online for a 96 328i...would that not fit? I know 96-99 usually have interchangeable parts but since electrical I wasn’t sure
same motor same setup, it will work. there might be some differences like traction control or lack there of but as long as they are both auto harnesses it will work.
M3NACE thanks a lot! Was just worried about the performance , just followed u on IG too! I like your videos, very informative 🙌🏾
I wanna ask about clip on the rail injector. Did you loosen the small clips or not before take it off the rail connector from injectors? Or just take it off the rail without loosen the small clips? Thanks a lot
I leave the injectors in the rail, so i leave the clips
@@M3NACE sorry i mean rail of cable 😁, okay thanks brother 👍
Very simple video thank you! Just subscribed, I have one question? When your removing the fuel injectors is bad if the whole fuel injectors came with the fuel rail? Because that's what happened to me...
leo hernandez no, not at all. Its either way. You can keep them in the manifold or you can keep them on the rail, its up to you. I usually prefer to keep them in the manifold so i dont have to re-seal them in the manifold. If your injector o-rings are old, there is a chance they might cause a vaccum leak when you re-install them, but popping in new injector o-rings will solve that problem.
The line that plugs into the very front of the fuel rail has a 2nd plug close to it on the same line and then one more plug at the very end of the line...please tell me what the 2nd and 3rd plug go to....
Thx
The plug between cyl 1 & 2 goes to a solenoid with 2 vacuum lines that run from the hardline uder the vanos, and the one on the very end plugs into a harness that runs underneath the intake manifold. If you watch my M50 manifold conversion i cover this.
Thank you so much for this video keep goin ❤❤
At 9:02 your on the SAP Bypass Valve. Does that connect on the manifold? or is there another line below the manifold? Just bought an e36 and noticed its not connected. ive been trying to figure out what it is.
www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=CD93-USA-02-1997-E36-BMW-M3&diagId=11_6092 heres a vaccum diag. it runs to the secondary air pump on the side port, the bottom port runs to a check valve, to a T, then into the manifold. the other T runs to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. number 7 is your guy.
Hey so can I purge the fuel with all that other stuff off? (Throttle body and intake and all) this will be my first time doing a job like this and don’t want to mess it up. Or have problems with idling/starting when putting it all back together.
Your a legend
What is that crazy oil filter housing? Looks so clean
Its an oil adaptor cap for -10 cooling lines
@@M3NACE thank you, you got a link to it or is it custom?
Nice video I'm doing a motor swap so this helped a lot
Do u have a video for m52? There's 2 lines that run into the back top right corner of the m52 intake. I'm doing my swap and I don't know what that 2 line are
Hi i know its an older video but im working on taking out my fuel rail and everything is unbolted and c clips holding injectors are off, but my fuel rail wont pop off of my injectors. I dont want to use too much force. Is there something im missing?
If the black clips are off then only the o-ring is holding them. Twist them back and fourth, that should break the seal and allow them to be removed.
I cannot get the wiring harness off the fuel rail...
it will come off. it has little retaining clips at the end of the harness that holds the injectors onto the rail. mine came off easy because I had mine off recently, if yours hasnt come off in 10+ years it might be a little stuck. take a flathead screwdriver, place it under the harness at the back of one of the injectors and gently and slowly pry it up. twisting the driver would be easiest. it will come off, but be gentle and easy with it. if it absolutely refuses to come off, you can unbolt the fuel rail from the manifold by the 2 10mm bolts, and pull all the injectors and the fuel rail/harness out as one.
M3NACE I got it man! Thanks for the quick reply! Also, do you know where that 14 mm is on the bottom of the intake manifold when removing it? I could not find it for the life of me! Engine is an S52
so right underneath the manifold, by the throttle body is the support bracket. put your hand underneath the manifold right under the throttle body hole, and move your hand toward the front of the car. the bracket is the same that holds the little round thing with vaccum lines on it. if you look at 7:09 you will see what i am talking about, right around the red hose. find that bracket, and if you feel for it and follow the bracket down to the engine block, the 14mm is holding the bracket onto the block. it takes a good extension to reach it, or you can unbolt the bracket from underneath the intake manifold, I believe its a 10mm
M3NACE thanks again man! Really appreciate it! Having to do my starter sucks but from what I can see it’s the original
ouch, that one is always fun. I dont know if you have watched my starter replacement vid, but I stress how important the proper torx tool is. you do not want to strip those trans bolts. pretty stout though, must be an old starter lol proud it lasted so long. good luck with it man!
After you put it all back together did you have to re-pressurize your fuel rail or did you just continue to crank the car while pressing on the gas pedal until there was eventually enough gas in your fuel rail and pressure to start the car
Cycle the key a few times, it will prime the fuel pump/rail
M3NACE excuse my ignorance but what does Cycle the key mean ? Turn it to position 0 the back to position 2 Or turning it from position 0 to position 3 for a few seconds then rinse and repeat ?
@@izzysosa7964 yup! Key off to key on 2, off, on, ect
M3NACE forsure bro thank you you’re videos are literal life savers. And appreciate you commenting back on a 3 year old video you save people thousands
Am I supposed to just keep turning it from 0 to position 2? I was doing that for honestly like 8 minuets like I could hear fluids in the front of my engine but when I tried to start it all it does it crank still am I just supposed to keep at it until it’s primed ? Or do you think it could be something else
Thanks for making this video!
no problem man, i want to make alot more thorough DIY's as alot of them i have found skip over the minor details, when the minor details are the things you get caught up on doing DIY's especially for first timers. i have alot more DIY's to come for this channel.
I had to subscribe...thanks so much
Could use some help if you wouldn't mind , I'm taking of my intake manifold and I'm habing a little issue with it
yeah whats the question man?
thanks man
Love the exhaust note, what's your setup? I'd love to have that
thanks, hah its a cat back straight pipe
Thanks fanboy
bro you need to make the video of how to put you intake manifold back on because im at a loss right now
its on tap my friend, It will be coming soon! not soon enough though I am Afraid. the motor that I will be doing the install on I am in the process of gathering parts to rebuild it. what are you stuck on?
thanks for getting back. im putting my manifold back on praying it was only my starter that im having problems with.
so what Issues are you currently having? crank no start? no crank? rough/no idle?
can i send you a picture and ylu telll me where it connects too
Yeah, DM me on instagram. Like to my gram is in the video description
Great vid. What intake is that
its a KaMotors short ram intake
What are the torque specs to put the manifold back on ??
135inch pounds for the manifold to head, everything else is 89 inch pounds. Sorry for the late reply!
my fuel hoses fell off so im trying to remove intake manifold but wont come off, did all bolts but a no no
fuel hose fell off? ouch. keep in mind that the manifold is bolted on one other place on OBD2 manifolds and 2 places on OBD1 manifolds. there are rails underneath the intake manifold that bolt up to the underside of the manifold just underneath the throttle body hole. these support brackets run down and bolt to the engine block. take your hand and run it underneath the manifold by the throttle body and see if you can feel the support bracket, then
Where does the purge valve connect to @m3nace
hey,,,great video....what is this mod in your oilfilter with the 2 wires thing....:)...looks realy cool....;)
thanks man, its an oil cooler with a filter housing cap with plugins for the cooling lines
M3NACE thats great.....
i think i messed my sensors ,car cranks but doesnt start and smells fuel also car had LPG system that i removed
hmm, you might have not plugged one in- make sure the wiring harness at the end of the fuel rail by the vanos unit it plugged in.
Hey mate what is the strut bar on this car ?;]
It's an ECS Tuning bar but honestly i would get the garagistic bar over it, will be doing a video on that topic soon.
Do you have a video on how to put it back onAnd possible problems to avoid?
yeah im working on it, the cylinder head is getting machine work done right now so it might be a while before i get to the video
Great! Awesome videos !
Any helpful tips on putting it back on?
I may attempt to switch out starter.
It seems like all the steps in reverse making sure all cables and hoses are labeled. Then fuel line back on, then fuse back in. Connect battery and should work? Any info helps. Thanks!
yeah, basically the steps in reverse. if you labeled them when you pulled them off, you should have no problem making sure they are all plugged back in. new manifold seals and throttle body seals are a must if you haven't done this before, as the old ones do not seal as well and you might run into vacuum leak issues. use some multipurpose grease on the seals too, but be light with it. use you a torque wrench for the 11mm manifold bolts,10mm fuel rail bolts, the throttle body bolts. 89 inch pounds. with new seals, proper torque, and some help from the grease, everything should be buttoned up and leak-less. main problems with people who re-install these is they either dont torque or use new seals, then have rough idle and vacuum leak issues.
THANK YOU!!!!!
but of coooourse
good smart video
I can't disconnect lower o2 sensor on flow meter. It's sucked to each other in some way. How to take it apart? I alrady used a little bit more force.
the o2 sensors on the fuel rail harness ?
Nope, straight after flow meter and there is some angled black tube with a thick cable connected to it.
ah, that sensor. look at the wiring harness, and on the plug in there might be a small metal retaining clip that holds it in place. with your finger, push in on the clip and pull down on the harness at the same time. you might need to use some force, but it should come out, and dont use too much force. if it does not come out and you cant get it, unplug the boot (black angled tube) from the throttle body and move it out of the way, put it somewhere in the engine bay that ill be out of the way, so the sensor can be plugged in but you can work around it.
M3NACE Going to check it :-) thank you. Nice video. What's the song? Nice car sound, hear some power :-D
I'm newbie and I'm going to take starter out
with the intake manifold off will that make it easier to replace my icv hose ??
as for just replacing the hose, I would not remove the manifold. you can swap the hose without pulling the manifold off, although it is kind of a tight space.
M3NACE ya i was just thinking that would make alot more space
Shaun kristensen it would yes, but now you have to worry about re-installing the manifold correctly, getting all of the injectors to seal, routing all of the vaccum lines properly, and its alot of work to pull the manifold off just to swap out the ICV hose.
Yee!
send me the link of your intake manifold install video please
hey man! nice video quality what is the camera you use?
if you want get a check out in my videos :) thanks and good luck with your channel
9:22 any reason I don’t have these plugs? Lol
OBD1? What year?
M3NACE 1998 323is, currently taking the manifold off but i guess there’s a bolt somewhere I missed cuz I can’t shimmy it off😂
@@xavier8548 there might be brackets underneath the manifold that bolt to the block, id check under it with a flashlight. The brackets bolt under the plenum next to the throttle body, i always throw them in the trash after i take them off
Nice video! Subbed;)
