Also, do I need new gaskets to replace after I take them apart? When I install the new gasket do I just put it in and it seals on it's own or do I have to put some type of glue on it? Dumb questions, but thanks for the help. | | | 03-20-2007, 06:32 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Cincinnati Posts: 890 | I had mine apart several times. No need to remove the TB, just unhook all the hoses attached to it and move it aside. You don't need to remove the throttle and cruise control cables, just the rubber hoses and electrical connections and bolts then swing it out of the way. Remember where everything goes, or tag everything you disconnect. After you clean the ICV a couple of times, you get the hang of it. I reused the gasket everytime. Its a pretty tough one and should be fine. __________________ SOLD!!! 1999 332ti //M Sport Titanium Silver M3 S52 3.2 I-6 Engine, M3 Clutch w/ ti Getrag Trans, Z3 3.15 LSD medium case diff and half shafts, OEM Hatch Spoiler, Eurosport HP Underdrive Pulleys, FDM, 17" DS1 rims, M3 Front Struts & Springs, M3 Instrument Cluster, 3-spoke //M steering wheel with tri-color stitching, SSK, CCFL Angels in Depo projectors with 5k HIDs | | | 03-20-2007, 06:39 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Halethorpe, MD Posts: 1,028 | I'm not super familiar with the layout of the engine compartment on the '95s, but why do you need to take the manifold apart to get the ICV off? Look at this diagram. You can't reach #7 without disassembling the manifold? | | | 03-20-2007, 08:13 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 | I saw the diagram before then looked under the hood and it is located just behind the throttle body so it looks like the only way I can reach it is by taking the upper part of the manifold off. | | | 03-20-2007, 08:25 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Halethorpe, MD Posts: 1,028 | That sucks. On the M44 it's right on the front of the throttle body. Good luck with your project. | | | 03-20-2007, 08:29 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 | I guess if you have small hands you might be able to reach up in there and disconnect the hoses without taking the top off of the manifold. But the only way I see to do it is to remove it. I thought I had read instructions for doing the same thing on the M44 and it was very similiar. Viper- If you are going to take that off you might as well think about putting in new air hoses, new intake boot, and there is that one plastic coolant pipe that people recommend replacing when you install a DASC. If you take the manifold off might as well do the other stuff. | | | 03-20-2007, 08:46 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 | Quote: Originally Posted by mohaughn Viper- If you are going to take that off you might as well think about putting in new air hoses, new intake boot, and there is that one plastic coolant pipe that people recommend replacing when you install a DASC.

Why you say that? | | | 03-20-2007, 09:06 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 | Mine are starting to dry rot. If you have the original hoses replacing them while the manifold is off may keep you from having to pull the manifold off again in a year or two when one of those hoses fails. | | | 03-20-2007, 10:15 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 | Thanks for the input and help. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
