If you are looking for a v8 swap, i would prefer the 1uz with a single turbo, stock internals can take above 800hp, and its a 4.0 just like like the original.

[@mattploij2673]

they didnt even make a 1UZ with a manual, so you're adapting something, and its 15 years older with heads that flow half as much as any of the BMW V8's, even M60', with no aftermarket support as anyone wanting a performance motor just uses a 2JZ. yeah awesome.

[@Kacpa2]

You need either M3 GT2 engine the P65B40(it is identical to M3 GTR sound wise and better perf wise, but its hyper expensive) or TVR Cerbera AJP V8 that sounds indetical to ingame car, some decent straightcut gear setup, rest is what Andre was about to do with bodykit and side exhaust which is tons of fabrication and and welding work you need to do by yourself.

[@TheRacingJoker]

Scottsdale Motorsports can handle a lot of the cutting and duct work for you in order to prep it for the exhaust install, but you need a roll cage to keep the car rigid

[@cristhanos9392]

[@vanguardgaming1779]

I can feel my heart racing. Is this love? Love for the M3 GTR?

[@musewolfman]

I think that the straight-cut gears is why they don't have to use the clutch on up/downshift. Without the angled teeth, it allows the gears to slip together much easier, so "floating" the gears is not nearly as precise of a thing as it is in a normal street car. The primary reason we don't see them in road cars is the excess noise, followed by the fact that they wear quicker.

[@giovinodelante9658]

This is a very, VERY well made video. Finally someone who talks nicely about this icon. However, as a long-time dreamer of the E46 GTR, I need to point out something I learned while looking for the car itself: 1) S54, S65 and S63 (with their relative racing versions) are NOT the most economical versions. M60 and M62 engines are 4.4L (and even 3.9L) versions of BMW V8 engines which, sadly don't make more than 347HP stock, but sound amazing, and they're really affordable. The redline is about 7500 RPM, basically the same as the original P60B40 engine, but they don't go over 6,000$. You can easily put some custom injectors, new headers and ECU remapping to get the notorious 440 HP. All this for half the price of an M3 E46. 2) The original wheels which 2M Autowerks offers, the BBS E88 Racing, were used in a different version of a GT2 M3 E46 (also present in some Gran Turismo games), but sadly are not the one used in NFSMW's E46 GTR. Those are the BBS RE594/RE595, and fortunately, they can be found in Scottsdale's website. However, a cheaper alternative can be easily acquired from Rogue Engineering, who made a pixel-perfect replica of those, and you can have it for 389$ each, which leads to a total of less than 1600$. Other than that, covered every meaningful point of the video. Subscribed.

[@Sphyn0x]

Where did you get 347hp for 4.4 m62? 347hp is from m62b46

Im buying an e46 already it will be easy my budget is 20k i see them for 18k

[@zeekfarrongaming5302]

I’ve been looking around for a 330i to do this project. Course my version is gonna be the most budget friendly It can possibly be. I know that it’s such a cliche in the car world now but I was going to go with some sort of LS swap. For what I’d be doing, I could go with an older LS motor and keep the cost down a lot. From the little research I have done, there seems to also be plenty of people who have LS swapped E46’s and there are complete swap kits that come with everything you’d need to swap it in

[@real.silencewench]

Tysm for the vid racing joker. I really, really appreciate it ❤️ I just wanna impose a question. What if I just want a cheap engine, but sounds atleast almost exactly as the nfs most wanted variant, without the excessive whining. Can you gimme some advice? And second, if I were to build it in the future, I just want it to be a four seater car, but still dope, is this possible? If yes, can this setup obtain a side exhaust instead of a rear ? For real thou, maybe 300-400hp is enough for me since I'm not planning on joining underground races lol. I just want the feels from the sound of m3 gtr nfs most wanted variant for me to delight with and enjoy the nostalgia with a super lower price. Thank you again for this vid, joker ❤️
