TURBO E46 M3 TurboLamik ZF8 Swap First Drive

This was filmed over a few days and to be honest i didnt expect it to be driving so quickly. We still have some work to do, do you think we can get this N54 Swapped E46 M3 with a single turbo conversion and 8hp swap working in time for the drift event in 2 weeks?
If you would like to help support what we do i have started a buymeacoffee page. Love you all! www.buymeacoff...

Hmmmm 🤔 we do have fun in here for the most part at least what I see when I’m in the comments lol. But I have deep ideas!! I worked on attack helicopters and I have a lot of idea that can be used on the platform. I just don’t want to clutter up the comments for the people that you genuinely help and have questions for you.

If you do a 8HP auto swap with let's say a S85 from the E60 M5, is there any way you can make the interior cabin where the gear shifts are, looking OEM as possible? I just don't like the look of that huge gear shift knob, but the technology is awesome!

[@chrisJordan-xb9wc]

it is possible yes, many oem bmw shifters are compatible including dct shifters

Ahh! I need MORE MONEY! But seriously I NEED more Money! This is an incredible build. When I see that E46 rolling (Same color as mine!) and imagine the torque and control my own could have.... I drool. I love this build and it's SO inspiring! I have been watching the build the "Seems Legit" guys have been doing and it all gets me fired up! As "they" say "Too many cooks make the strange sounds coming from the trans?" ? Wait. No.... Q: "How many 8hp Lamik conversions does it take to stop using wrong Metal trans pan?" (I tried to warn them lol). A: "One, then all the rest can ignore it and do the same thing!". Sorry about all that I'm a bit of a goof. I really hope Dan and the guys there think you are an asset to their world! I know I sure do. Getting to see the way they can work is really cool! The ending is very funny too. (I hope LOL). I'm assuming you did some editing to make us all gasp a bit? Oh and I can tell something is off with the Black E90 M3 but I'm just not sure. I love it!!

[@kencooper8636]

A well-engineered conversion from manual to 8HP70. It will be interesting to see what Dan's impression is when it is completely sorted. Andrew, when you installed the 8HP70 into the Flow Max car, I thought you had to cut away some of the bellhousing for the starter to fit which wasn't done on this installation. Have I missed something there?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You are correct, Dan did this when i was out of the shop and i didnt get any footage of it..... then i totally forgot about it by the time the trans was mounted.

[@kencooper8636]

@@ZeroTo60Tube I have replaced the built engine with a standard engine with 100,000km. It actually runs properly now and pulls very nicely even on 98. I have to do a couple of datalogs and get them off to Ken to refine the tune. The RB GF 19T turbos are laggy down low compared with the previous RB EVO 17Ts but a lot stronger from 3,000rpm. In the next couple of months, I will begin pulling the built engine apart to see why it had low compression in all cylinders.

This cross member on the car is a e90 335i one. The bracket on the box is custom made. However it may be worth looking in a e90 330d trans bracket. I know they bolt to the 8hp, just a matter of seeing how it’s sits length wise.

@@marlonbaird6070 N62 has way more problems. My ultimate dream would be the McLaren F1 V12 engine, aka the S70/2 engine into an E38. It's a shame that BMW produced a M3 with an inline-6 engine from its motorsport division, a M5 with an V8 engine from its motorsport division, but not a M7 that had a proper V12 from its M division, that would have 12 individual throttle bodies. Today's M5 is definitely larger in size compared to the E38, and possibly even the M3/M4.
