Nice job
Nice job
You've been busy! Good stuff
A few rebuild photos.
Just realized I left the word Build out of my thread title:scratchinghead
Couple Misc. items from the work past week. A recommendation I would make for those going to replace there DISA. Order a few of the M6 * 18 bolts with the T-40 Torx washer head before you start the project. Two of mine basically stripped out. Ended up having to use a T-45 bit hammered into the bolt in order to pull it.
Also, if you are going this work and have OE vac lines, lower intake boot, and the F connect. Might as well order them and replace them while you are at it. I replaced my lower intake boot, but should have done the Vac lines below as well. Very worn and pitted.
Another picture of the T-40 Torx bolts. These two are for the ICV, so is that nut. There are two more torx bolts for the DISA.
I ended up reusing the hose clamps. As long as they are damaged fell free to reuse them. Make sure to keep the tightening mechanism aimed the right way while reinstalling so you can tighten them down.
Nice work, thanks for the pics. I'll definitely come back to these when I have to do some intake maintenance.
So I really want to take the ZHP with me to LA and use it for commuting to work this week, but don't think I should in its current state.
I still have an aggressive vacuum leak that is effecting my idle. Car stalled today for the first time since the new DISA valve. Also, OE expansion tank and I would be in stop and go traffic ~1.5-2hrs to and from work.
Doesn't sound like a good recipe. I can take my GFs 2014 Fiesta ST and wouldn't have to worry about anything but work.
The ZHP needs crankcase ventilation done, or at least part of it one to eliminate my vacuum leak, hopefully. I could order parts tomorrow and get them mid week, but wouldn,t be in the greatest of places to be working on my car.
Car also needs Vanos seals done, so if im opening the crankcase, might as well do those.
But then again, really want to drive the ZHP.... hmmmm
I removed my engine covers to better hear the vac leak. Marked the picture as to where the noise seems to be generating. Definitely towards the back of the motor.
EDIT: Arrow should be a little bit more to the left, Noise seems to be coming from there
Really wish I could help, but I don't have enough experience to know what that might be. Part of the CCV I think is over that way, but I'm not sure.
Some people also switched from the CCV to a catch can setup with positive results. Both CarbonZHP and slater have it.
Can anyone recommend a CCV replacement kit?
Ordering CCV stuff and Vanos stuff this week so I can bust it out this weekend:thumbsup
Check out tischer bmw. They have a kit.
Wow, what a crazy first week of work.
So basically the facility I am working in creates forged internals for jet engines and other aerospace applications. We have a 15,000 TON press that turns titanium billets 2 ft tall, 10in wide into pancakes. Needless to say, love my new job, just so busy already.
Still driving the Fiesta ST :( Ordering parts for the ZHP TONIGHT!
Drove it some this past weekend and it stalled a few times. Need to get this vac leak taken care of. Parts this week, work next week.
SO car related update. Ordered this kit:

Anyone in Socal want to leand a hand or some tools? Will be working on it not this week but the next.
There are three rubber caps there on intake manifold that often rot and disintegrate. You can see them with mirror or feel them using hands.

Cool job

The job is very cool but I am going to become so busy in a months time. I am working as the Environmental, Health, and Safety Specialist. Pay is pretty good, so in a month or two, I am buying myself an exhaust and angel eyes... If my maintenance is done, but this is good motivation.

Non return valve is item nr. 6.
The diagram is for EU 330i and should be the same for ZHP, but do check before and if you order it.
I checked RealOEM.com and coudln't find that diagram. Maybe i missed or maybe because of emissions regulations, the US got a different set up?
Anyways, back with my baby. Just took it for a spin. Hit 90mphs pretty smoothly. Engine is running so much better with the new intake components and DISA valve. Waiting for my parts to show up is all
Also, got rear ended yesterday... in the Fiesta ST at least. Which already had a ruined rear bumper, so getting it fixed under insurance claim.
Luckily, it was a relatively slow speed hit but still, feeling sore today.
3rd time I have been rear ended in Cali. Once was in an automated car wash.....
Ouch

Glad to hear you're enjoying your reunion with your car.
Damn, hope the pain doesn't linger. I've only been rear ended once and it was when I had my learner's permit. My father was in the passenger seat and I was at a stop sign by my house on a hill. I could see this woman coming up on me too fast in a Volvo and not looking forward. I tried to pull away but wasn't fast enough and she ran into my rear end.
My father's first response was "what did you do?"
It is in engine/vacuum control.
Again this is not zhp diagram just regular 330i, I cannot select it as you know, but now you know where to look if part differ:

Edit: And apparently you do not have that valve and all of other parts from that diagram.
Edit 2: It's strange that 325 has that diagram, but 330 not, both being US models and in EU both have that vacuum control. Never mind, one less thing to worry about.
Haha thanks for digging up part numbers anyways. The kit I ordered has some sort of valve in it, and several hoses, so vacuum leak should be sorted out after this week. Hoping to have time to replace the oil filter housing gasket as well. It is barely leaking, but I want to tackle it before it gets worse.
Very similar to what happened to me. Stop and go traffic. I came to a stop and could see the woman behind me looking out to her left. I knew she could not stop in time so I dumped the car into neutral, and lightened up on the brake just a little while bracing myself. She was maybe going 10 at most.
In my BRZ, similar situation happened, but traffic went from 45 to zero, and the small truck behind me hit me going 35 while I was standstill. That one hurt. Since then, every time Ive been hit, the same spot hurts pretty bad for a few days.
OK will have some updates tomorrow. Some good some bad. Meantime which plates should I get. Def want the black and yellow style
Picked up a few goodies yesterday. On my drive home, the SES light came on. I stopped by autozone to see if they would read the code, but they no longer provide that service. They had a cheapo code scanner on sale, and the guy let me use some rewards points I had from buyer supplies for the GFs car. I know this scanner is not the greatest, but it works. Car threw two codes, both related to O2 sensors. Believe this is from my vacuum leak. Also, Oil Filter Housing Gasket arrived.
Hunting down vacuum leak today. Is separation of the manifold from the engine block a common problem? The sound of the vacuum leak is hard to pin down, but so far it doesn't seem to be any vacuum or CCV hose I can see. Taking the HVAC filter and support tray/rain catch thingy out today to see if I can find the leak out back.
Let us know what you end up doing to address those codes.
