am i good with these parts?

11617559523 Intake Manifold
11617559530 Vent Hose
11617579114 Adjustor Unit
11617560538 Adjustor Unit 2
11617547242 Gasket set
11617535850 x2 Screw 50x35
11617535849 x5 Screw 50x20

I'm not sure if the parts needed for the swap are the same as the 325i. do i need more parts or less?

Thanks for your help!!

The 328 has a different vent hose set up as I believe the oil seperator is located in the head (I could be wrong).

Go to realoem and pull up your make and model and find the "vent hose" that fits your car. All the other parts should be the same.

Hey i just did one on a 328i race car, check it out. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=614123

you also need: 11617535851 x1 50x66 hex head screw

We didn't need the vent hose part #11617559530, but you may want to order it incase. You can always return it. I believe that hose is only used for the 325i. Who's doing your tuning? Good Luck!

Planning on using Active Autowerke since i already have their tune. I have headers from MMW on the way too.

Ess hasn't gotten back to about a 3 stage tune. I would like one with a module but oh well i guess.

Where i live i dont have access to many tuners/ dyno's. I'm just too lazy to ship out my ECU, but i just might have to ship it to AA this time, cuz i just hate paying $650 for an AA tune in Edmonton

What tune are you using??

ps sick race car

Yes your are all good to go with the parts you have listed. Only part i saw that you are missing is the hex head screw 11617535851 x1 50x66 that is used on the back adjuster unit. The back adjuster unit uses 2 50x35 screws part# 11617535850 and the one i listed above. This racecar is getting a tune from O.E.

you should be able to reuse the stock vent hose on the 328i. But they are easy to break, so you might want to order a spare 328 vent hose just in case yours snaps, and then return it if you don't use it.

ray_futbol · 11-26-2011, 09:39 AM

thanks for the help guys! Ordered my parts

alpine335i · 11-26-2011, 11:12 AM

If you have any questions during the install just send me a pm. Good luck!

need some help....

so I have a 325xi and got a used 330i manifold. The manifold has the vent hose already which is a 2 piece (see 1st picture from ECS part #11617559530).

the pic from realoem is a 1 piece??? so do I still need to order another one? I already have one from the used manifold.

mike-y · 08-04-2012, 02:59 PM

use what you see on the manifold, as it should have 2 spots to connect the hose (2 piece for USA 325i/330i). The realoem pic shows how the 530i 3 stage IM is set up with a single connection to the manifold.
