I bought the DISA repair kit.

I placed the SILVER O Ring between the new gear and the new shaft and then i tighten it untill it cannot move. DID I DO THIS WRONG?






I use MSV80.0 > F6 (Activate) > F1 (Actuator Activations 1) > Shift+F6 (VIMDISA) to test the DISAs.

After clicking F1 to OPEN the DISA, the % on INPA shows 67% OPEN, but DISA is still closed

You can hear the clicking sound in the video @ 0:24 0:28 0:34 0:41 0:44 when i click F1 and F2 to close the DISAs, but the DISAs dont open.

do you have both of them wired up and are you pressing the shift button plus the function button to activate the 2nd DISA?

Yes I used the Shift+F1 to activate the 2nd (small) disa

Do you have the tune installed already?

I haven't

tune isnt necessary to run the test in INPA. I do not have the tune and I successfully ran the tests in INPA and was able to get them to open and close via INPA.

I watched your disa test videos, when mine is in closed position, and when i click OPEN 67%, it slowly open, but not like yours instantly open

Unfortunately, I don't have any other reference for that. I'd imagine the speed of opening on mine is accurate. I wonder if you installed something wrong when you opened them. Can you open them up again and have a look? how did you seal them?

I will take pictures now. My big disa is still open. I use JB weld to seal it

I actually recorded it, use 1080 60fps for HD

I wonder if its a matter of indexing them. Perhaps they need to be in the open position when you plug them in. Why don't you just tighten up the big one and use clamps to keep it closed and run the test again. Have you tried that? Also, does it matter which way you install the valve?

I actually positioned it at the opening position when i plugged it in, when i click close, it moved, but more like a 33% closed. Yes i tried to plug it in and it behaved the same way. And yes, the valve wont be able to turn if its not on the right side

I would like to start my car to test it, but the intake manifold is currently taken off.

When you plug them into the engine, it does a reset pattern each time the motor starts, forcing them to the starting position regardless of their position when they are initially plugged in. You can just attach them directly to the plugs on the motor, and watch them work while someone revs the engine. It's pretty interesting to watch, and a good way to confirm everything is working right.

too bad i took the manifold out and the car hasnt been driven for a month now. So I am not sure how to rev the car because the oil is cold (-16C here)

Turns out the motors are malfunctioning, I will be parting out the rebuild kit. I am going to get brand new disas, the ones that have been improved by bmw, not the ones from 06 330i as those two (big and new) has been discontinued
