E36 E46 V8 M60 M62 Swap ; Oil Pump Modification : What Is It REALLY like?

[@banarcus]

Did this mod to my E46. Works well, no problems at all!

[@DriftJesus]

Great job! Where are you watching from?

[@banarcus]

@@DriftJesus Australia. I've got a 2003 325Ci with a M62 and T5 manual. Great video too mate 👍

[@darek4488]

Watching this from Poland. I have an idea in my head for an E46 with M62. It all seems a bit sketchy, but I guess the alternative is to mess with the steering rack position which would probably be even worse.

[@danielfranke5570]

Thanks for the video, the information provided with my kit was poor, and this made it a lot clearer.

[@erichfranke]

Man, wish I found this video about 2 months ago. Just got done with all this🤦🏻‍♂️😂 but I had to struggle through the instructions provided…

[@crank3646]

Hello! So the oil pump is hold with only 2 bolts (on the oil pan)? I was thinking that it will go through the stud on the front, where it was installed originally.

[@DriftJesus]

The original mounting points are not there anymore :)

[@crank3646]

@@DriftJesus Yes I saw in the manual that we have to cut them. I have oil pump from V12 and can't find a pump from V8. Tried to compare them from pictures, but they look the same (still the part numbers are different). I was thinking the V8 one, will be little bit different design and will be hold by 3 points, but I guess this is not going to be the case.

[@nicohakava67]

No, there is 3 mounting points you are going to use. 1 on the engine block.

Welcome!

[@TurbineResearch]

Seems like a sketchy operation but I understand that you gotta do what you gotta do to make a project work on a budget.

[@DriftJesus]

Its working for a lot of people, just positioning the pump and tensioning is fiddly and time consuming and I fear people may do that wrong

[@banarcus]

@@DriftJesus just don't do the timing chain guides after this oil pump mod. It is painful!!

[@DriftJesus]

@@banarcus always do them preventively anywayw

Too bad the M60/M62 swaps get this complicated. What would a dry sump system for this swap cost roughly? And does anyone make exhaust manifolds for this swap?

[@DriftJesus]

Dry sump is 4-6k Exhaust manifolds can be pieced together from X5 but if you want gains custom make them

[@sanderziugov]

I'm just in the process of fitting S65 headers, light, compact and equal length runners. Flanges need rework but seems doable so far.

[@moosegril2796]

Hi mate, What is the fi20 exactly. I gather it's a 20mm drill bit? But the "fi" is what loses me. Any insight?

[@DriftJesus]

20mm Check with a measuring caliper

[@moosegril2796]

@@DriftJesus Is this any particular drill head I need?

[@DriftJesus]

@@moosegril2796 see video, all regular drills. Best would be to machine it on a lathe

[@DriftJesus]

[@fabioscarp]

Hi could you send me the photos of the instructions?

[@DriftJesus]

Sadly don't have them , only the video material as shown.

[@fabioscarp]

​@@DriftJesusok thank

[@GhettoProphetNYC]

Do u mind sending me the instructions cause my kit has the most basic and vague instructions ever from CYBUL

[@DriftJesus]

This is not a cybul kit, best contact them.

[@anthonygarcia2496]

Interested in California!

Thanks for watching!
