E36 V8 swap - THE ENGINE IS IN

Looking good! Welding blankets and a fire extinguisher wouldn't go a miss 🤣

real ones remember jack from the gti

Is Jack not related to Tommy?

Jack needs his own show. Call it ‘Jackmonkey’ or something 😄

Certainly getting the 'crackle' and penetration of the weld. A tip would be to 'push the weld' along with a stiring motion, you'll get a smoother and deeper penetration of the weld bead as a result. Definately dress the welds back with a flat wheel on a grinder and hit it with some weld through etch primer soon as you're done before any rust forms. With thicker plate (3mm or thicker) you may have to bevel the edges to create a 'V' channel that you can fill up with weld, by doing this should allow you to get max penetration. Gas choice can make thing easier as CO2 can make it a bit tricker to get decent welds where as Argon will give usually pretty decent welds. Of note with PPE, DO invest in some thick welding jackets and chaps unless you fancy getting burnt from sparks, better to be hot and sweaty than down A&E with a weld burn. Just a few tips from a mechanical engineer and former techie.

[@HomeBuilt69]

Weld look fine plenty of penetration they won’t go anywhere, I will say next time cover up any glass and paint it only takes one spit to hit your windscreen and will smash as well the sparks melting onto your paint and rusting. Love your channel keep it up and hope to see the e36 around Gloucestershire soon 👍🏻

[@9danny81]

This is a whole new era. Watching the webisodes back however many years ago, I never would've thought I'd witness you become a fabricator lol, but I'm here for it! Also happy birthday in advance.

[@ryangaffney4357]

Hi I’m a welder fabricator and them welds are decent but you needed to turn your heat up on the welder or instead of turning the heat up turn the wire speed down and go slower because your getting what’s called a spine effect which is where it bunches in the middle of the weld but other than that there good welds

[@M7chell_86]

The excitement on you guys faces when the bonnet shut makes the whole thing worth while. Nice job boys 👌🏻😎

[@rhys7671]

Ahahaha when your welding is cleaner than the last guy who was building your cages. That’s funny 😂😂

[@arronjohnstracey3280]

Impressed by the welding skills and by how well that V8 fits under the bonnet, sick video as always.

[@jamiehamilton5872]

love how oem that v8 looks in the e36, the meet was awsome, was very cool to meet you and give you some stickers, will for sure be at the next meet.

[@10pmclub86]

Had an amazing time with the club at your event ! see you next year !!! CHEERS FOR THE PICTURES ! Lol

[@oakesiii3412]

Good choice in welder mines took some serious abuse. Just heard the test sounds like the gas is way to high

[@DarkSide-ds6rk]

Only thing I hate about this channel is that there isn’t enough videos love watching you dude!

[@DreamProjectsMotorsports]

You boys are making *PROGRESS* giving me motivation to hurry up with mine now

[@HarryJames89]

Your build is awesome dude! Subbed 🤙🏼

[@SeeMeSidewayz]

SUBBED! doing the same swap on my channel CHECK IT OUT! as well new video out soon, cant wait to see all our m62 e36 RIPPIN!!!

[@rupojayo]

Car meet was great! Glad you liked the T-Sport 😉 Great video!

[@speedy83]

Impressed with those welds! Good progress in this video. Have a great birthday!

[@callumleaker3436]

Living the dream mate. Mad progress on the build already, can't wait to see your faces on the first startup.

[@scottstevenson8849]

Never welded before and want to get into it, the fact you just bought one and jumped right in has given me a kick up the arse. Have a nice time down Cornwall and set off early, the M5 and A30 is a fckn nightmare this time of year 😄

[@bigmanboris7738]

Im a welder and u have done a nice little job , love the content keep it up lads

[@K1ZZA]

nice, not a bad job at all on those welds. Welding blanket would be a wise investment plus you could use it as a duvet when you kip the night, lol

[@stevogarnham6869]

thank for pouch link need for parts for my 2000 vw passat 1.8t Project euro style can wait to see bmw v8 doing some B road bashing keep up the good work

[@br1xh]

Love the fact that it will still look clean when your done , this pouch thing is well good

[@brun_s]

V8 looks bang on Happy 30th mate enjoy the break with the parents!

[@robertthorgudmarsson4898]

I don't know anything about welding but none the less I'm super impressed

[@pascalsohr9393]

Super sick build!! Suprised how "easy" the V8 goes in there.

[@wanzey8]

Fairplay on the welding man. Some of the best novice welds I’ve seen!

[@David_R21]

Long time watcher and I’m actually stoked for this build! Happy birthday :)

[@rossmccabe1005]

Content is getting better , he’s like a uk Jimmy Oakes

[@hpharris]

That V8 sits like a glove! For the first time welding not a bad job! Hope to see that bad boy start in the next vid

[@mikaelmakinen995]

V8's sick! Those are some very nice welds for your first time, mine were way worse when I first started welding.

[@zacherykrueger1586]

Where did you get the brackets you welded to corssmember so stock mounts work? Did you have to modify oil pan and pump?

[@robsrcjourney970]

Congrats on the engine install and Happy 30th mate have a sick weekend. Not literally....

[@Hopgop1]

Round style glasses look sick imo, great to see the V8 progress. My car is currently broken, but will definitely come down to the next meet!

[@kmb_964]

Enjoy Cornwall stay safe can’t wait to hear the v8 up and running

[@colin_g]

The V8 looks at home in there! Nice welds and can't wait for more of this build

[@JamesRaaawwrr]

Can't wait to see this thing start up after all the work!

[@Whatshouldicallit660]

This channel is just so nice and so relatable, beeing in a garage with your mates although you def get more stuff done 😂

[@MrSpikey1100]

With MIG welding you should be pushing your weld into the material and not dragging, if you was to be using flux cored wire then you'd be fine, I'm a welder by trade but it's all about practice and learning your welding set ✌

[@doriansiam97]

Where did you order engine mounts to weld to the cradle?

[@markdunhill1802]

Sick, cant wait to see it fired up!

[@waynelittle5583]

Again smashing great content buzzed to see the V8 up and running

[@markstorer7204]

Great bit of welding for a beginner.....100% better than my 1st attempt 👍

[@joshbuckwell9787]

Happy birthday Josh, have a lovely time in Cornwall mate

[@shortmonk95]

Considering boq doesn't weld.. they definitely aren't the worst welds I've seen.. congrats to boq for progressing how he is tho.. its good to see

[@UnblownLoad]

The car meet was sick, first one I’ve ever been to, will definitely be going to more!

[@nunomourasilva]

Bom dia, onde arranjou esses adaptadores para o charrion?

[@haleemhussain2909]

Welds are looking decent fair play for doing it yourself

[@CousinMarlberry]

V8 is gonna be crazy can’t wait to see it! Best channel on KZbin

[@wemoveforward6413]

Sick video man. Have a great birthday !

[@harryberrisford2663]

This is a sickkkkk project can’t wait to see it on the road

[@iainmackable]

can’t wait for the start up of this thing! Also your welds look better than what was on the cupra’s old cage 🤣

[@TheArmedHamster]

Cant wait to see that thing out ripping skids with that v8!

[@EagleEyeTye]

Loved thar car meet! Always a good day when theres a BQR video in the sub box

[@petermoles6866]

Looking forward to seeing and hearing the engine start up.

[@dantregale218]

Welding is a bit like drifting… all about the seat time! Top work boys best way to learn is have a go and you ain’t done bad! Some good penny on those!

[@archierobinson3178]

The meet was insane best meet I’ve been to in ages!

[@leestephens7871]

Such a sick idea to stick a v8 in it 👏🏻

[@reutd5210]

Loving this build! Spurring me on to get on and start a project like this🤙🏼

[@SeeMeSidewayz]

do it man, doing the same build on my channel rn, check it out you wont regret doing this swap lol

[@Revo900]

Wow that was an amazing first weld!

[@lucaspinchuk1997]

where did u get the front mounting brackets for engine?

[@TheEchosGames]

happy birthday mate, i live in cornwall and the first video i watched of yours was about you going to boardmasters! learnt a lot about the sweet amber nectar. Have a good one

[@davidlukey5189]

Hey boys. Big fan of everything you're doing. I've bought myself an old Honda CR-V for my winter work commute with the intention of lifting it and putting big fat wheels on. The issue is that I love it but I'm not in love with it. Certainly not like I am with my MX5 and my dad's remapped E280 CDI (sentiment and power). The CR-V is quirky as... rear seats that slide back, forward, and recline, the boot floor is a pull-out fold-out picnic table 👌 I'm just hankering for an old Volvo or something to put a smile on my face. What do you fancy swapping? 🤔

[@alexcole9462]

Can’t wait to hear that v8 fire up👌

[@churilove1]

With these mounts, how much space you got between the engine and the fire wall?

[@PieroIvanMontemaggioreschreibe]

Hi. Your job is just awesome. Let me please ask you if there’s any complications about the front oil pan . I need to install an M20B18 automatic transmission into an e36 1993 . Kind regards from Argentina.

[@ernestoguzman7460]

Hey bro do you think you can explain how to did it with oil pump and oil pan I heard u had to buy a kit for it ??

[@nickgreene5301]

She’s coming together nicely. I think you definitely need to invest in a fire extinguisher mate

[@siiift]

Enjoy the week off lad, loving the content. Big ups from NZ

[@Ghost011]

The fact you organised such an event is something to be hugely proud of!! Well done Guys at Boqer123!

[@charlieartus1500]

looking forward to the finished product going to be unreal boq

[@karlossmith3714]

Great show & loving the v8! Can’t wait to see it rip!!!

[@OzokuRJS]

Cheers for a sound meet Boq, was mint meeting you and the OG crew (as well as current). Need more toilets and food vans next time though 😉😅

[@SimpsonsClassics]

V8 is sick dude! Can’t wait to see this thing run!

[@HALFN3CK]

What trans did you use just the standard 5spd?and drive train

[@andyfloss03]

Going great. Well done on the fresh welds look 👍🏻

[@roboreilly95]

Fair pay on the welds half decent boii

[@doityourself5351]

Love this video bro!! And I'm a Newquay boy too with an E36, currently sourcing a new engine where you to in Cornwall

[@younkingc0rn316]

Good job buddy 👍 I love that yas do it all your selfs only way .. can't wait to hear that V8 beast ripping

[@frankfinley4726]

Hey mate hope you reply to this 🙏🏻, I am looking to do an m60 swap to my e36 and I’m wondering where I could get those adapter plates , also if I get the wiring harness where is the adapter from , I’m putting it in my daily so want to collect everything I can so I don’t loose the car for too long . Also what trans are you running as I want to run a manual and did you find a soloution for the drive shaft ?

[@charliewilton9367]

Mate, wear a long sleeve, you’ll get really bad sunburn from it and trust me it ain’t good but keep playing your settings like wire speed and what have you

[@tomasscelms4901]

Welding skills 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼can wait for V8 skids :)

[@joshjennings4045]

Can’t wait to see this working!!! 😎

[@frankiewalnuts]

fit some spacers at the donut end of the shaft to get the shaft over more of the splines

[@cykablyat8862]

those are damn good welds for pretty much first time

[@cnolan_3796]

Lol dont get me wrong Josh I fully support using sponsorships, but as soon as I see the laptop and that desk. I spam my right arrow key till its changed I cant lie haha.

[@EarlLeeBird]

@boqer123 those extension plates that you welded on the subframe, where are they from? The ones in Adamat kit are different, consisting of multiple pieces that you need to weld instead of the bent profile that yours had. Also, can you coment on the exhaust manifolds, are they E38 ones or X5 ones?

[@ScottTetleyy]

Your 30! Jesus I’ve been watching your for a long time. Have a good one man, good vid.

[@joelgraba1077]

do you by any chance have bolt torque specs for the m60/m62?

[@dangerbrownesq]

V8 is sick. Side mount exhaust ya!

[@jacobhumphries6105]

Those sunglasses are sick and the BMW looks lush these vids make me want to spend all my money on merch and cars 🤣

[@harryedenbrow7209]

Good way to spend last few days of isolation, with my free beer52 order and watching BOQ

[@ManiacShogun]

Car is gonna sound so good with that engine

[@Deames19]

Car show was sick but definitely needs more going on, more stalls and bigger VIP area

[@Bannana4TW]

With mig, you’d usually weld right to left mate, but they all long strong and fine, I have the same welder but can’t stop getting porosity no matter what I do

[@yarde4829]

Ngl the welds are actually decent, also have a good birthday:)

[@FATmods]

Can you please tell me where you get the wiring harness

[@jammskii]

Happy Birthday man!

[@ahole5407]

Nice build.. would like to see what you plan on doing for the headers. New welding project perhaps? Cheers from across the pond.

[@liamberridge9387]

Amazing video as usual Keep up the good work
