ls + bmw = perfect car

[@Icepressa]

I like the rear emblem, 360i 😂, My 135i is getting the 153i Conversion 😂

[@Dat550go]

Bro you have the best fab skills, bar none! 👍

[@DickHamm]

Thing sounds so damn good

[@popanda3652]

hows it holding up with no resevoir for the oil return? doin research for rearmounting my acura and stubled across this beut of a project. GOAWD IT SOUNDS GREAT

[@michaelbarajas1437]

Nice I'm hoping to get my new shop in December so I can start this on my 335i

[@Simple_tl]

Why would you do that on 335i ?

[@daidinero7745]

Mans said he want all the turbos

[@dronepilot260rc]

Looks awesome. I'm thinking about doing a rear mount on my old beater truck lol maybe a self contained oil tank with oil cooler out back

[@Senihmo]

How do you get pressure on a system like that?

[@benwhittaker8630]

Try heat wrapping the whole exhaust. Heard off similar issues with a rear mount setup on a corvette, struggling to make boost. End result being that it just lost so much heat energy down the length of the exhaust. Wrapped the whole lot front to back and brought it back to life.

[@lse90garage]

Mike and Frank actually remedied the boost issue, the turbo was bad, however it still struggles to make power, but the theory is the cold side run back to the front is too small and the motor is trying to breath through a straw. Think they plan to increase to cold side to 3” and see what happens

[@hellaboost1]

is the piping coming from the intercooler to the turbo aluminum or steel

[@sonobtch]

It's smoking because of the oil drain. I had the same issue with my rear mount LS. You need a tank to drain into first.

[@lse90garage]

Yep lots of oil issues

[@NDfootball209]

Fucking awesome man I had plans to do the same with my 06 manual 325i, but ended up getting a 335. Badass tho bro show us more of the car!!!

[@Past10Performance]

That's funny I just bought a 06 manual 325i and it's getting a rear mount. That's how I ended up here 😂

[@user-fk2ck9gm8v]

Where did you put the o2 sensors? Or did you delete the o2 sensors?

[@34pimpdog]

What muffler. I love it.

[@lse90garage]

No idea, some Chinese Amazon thing lol, prob something Frank had laying around

[@Kaus5221]

bro did you change your ring gap? it should be 7thou per inch or bore

[@mitakse]

Do you guys think it was the 0.024 ring gap, piston, not enough cooling....what made it fail? Is that a stock LS6 piston? What gas were you running? If it's the gap what do you suggest it should be? Good stuff as usual gentleman, your content always makes me want to turn some wrenches.

[@lse90garage]

It’s hard to say really, the 6.0 actually made less power than expected when it was n/a so it’s possible it was hurt before we ever did the turbo. Ring gap and heat definitely play a role in longevity but we’ve made more power than this on stock junkyard stuff before. Just one of those things I suppose, when you have so many hood used engines you’re bound to run into a bad one eventually.

[@brarautorepairs]

Any time you boost a motor you have to file down the ring so you don't blow the ring lands.

[@lse90garage]

I’m sure that’s what the internet thinks, but it’s not factual.

[@brarautorepairs]

@@lse90garage Can you explain? I've watched a few boosted on stock motor builds and one thing I noticed was they recommended increasing the ring gap size for a factory motor. Here is the specs for ring gap for a boosted motor: Modified or Nitrous Oxide - 0.005in x 4.00in bore = 0.020 inch ring gap High Performance Racing - .0055in x 4.00in bore = 0.022 inch ring gap Racing with Nitrous/Turbo - 0.006in x 4.00in bore = 0.024 inch ring gap Racing Blower/Supercharger - 0.007 x 4.00in bore = 0.028 inch ring gap

[@lse90garage]

@@brarautorepairs We’re aware of the bore formula for ring gap. Have you ever actually built a boosted car? While it’s great to gap for boost, it’s not a guaranteed necessity or something that if you don’t do it the motor won’t live. We have dozens of customer cars that are boosted, on bone stock bottom ends, making 8-900 wheel and living comfortably. Good fuel, and a good tune go a long way.

[@brarautorepairs]

@@lse90garage I've built my own 1gen neon with a swapped 2.4L (PT cruiser engine with turbo from srt4) and we had a great time with a turbo integra. The next project is a ford sohc 4.6l that seems to not mind being boosted. I also talked about the ring lands in reference to the way they went in the video. Looked like the ring had no where to go so it damaged the ring land.

i think my buddy had his shop in that same unit area ..Bnb racing

Wheres yall shop located ? I want to run the same setup on my Lexus. How much would yall charge for something like that?

Diy brodie way cheaper

Oil ? How does that work how does the turbo cool ?

Lmao do u know what ur saying

Were can I find this kit at? Thanks

[@lse90garage]

custom

Doc race bruh

[@ThatStolenZ33]

What turbo is that?

[@lse90garage]

Was a little precision. This setup just never worked quite right, possible something we were doing but it’s off the car now.

[@keeganadams6762]

is there a big benefit of ls swap replacing a st n54?

[@b-rad6978]

more power, reliability.

[@alrandall9931]

What oil pump are you using to send the oil from the turbo back to the engine?

[@lse90garage]

Drilled and tapped GM block off feeds it. Running a line the length of the car.

[@alrandall9931]

@@lse90garage do you have oil going from the turbo and back to the gm block?

[@lse90garage]

@@alrandall9931 scavenge at the back pushes it to the front and dumps into valve cover.

@@lse90garage nice work brother, don't forget to maybe try bring that oil scavenge pump level with the turbo? Stops oil level backing up into turbo. Keep the vids coming! Love it.
