We put the V8 engine from a Z4 GT3 in our 1M - Worlds first P65 swap!

[@davizzleman]

Removing the drysump made it loose the P in the P65. You converted a great Motorport engine to a stroked S65. The drysump is what makes it a race engine.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Sorry about us

[@placeholdername3206]

I'm sure it has more stuff going on

[@TheJammydodgerjj]

I agree I'm sure the team would of looked at a stroked engine but decided potentially too many unknowns , this is an official engine previously owned by another great motoring establishment, if they want in the future dry sump can be added back too but I do agree its lost abit of uniqueness with some of these changes.

[@CoreRye]

It’s a flat plane crank so has different crank, cams, firing order etc. It’s still very different to an s65 but likely will loose some power with wet sump and oem style intake.

I'm confused. How was the lower engine block replaced without line honing as a whole? I see he took some measurements with some verniers and replaced the main bearings... Is this not asking for trouble?

[@MikaelBerglind]

An engine builder whould die if he saw that

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

The bedplate self aligns extremely accurately on the S65 and many other BMW engines. It would be very unusual to line hone, unless you were using a mismatched block and bedplate combo.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

The bed plate was machined for the dry sump setup so this almost brought the whole project to a grinding halt. After some research and speaking with industry contacts BMW Motorsport appear to sell a dry sump kit for the S65 which includes a bed plate (very possibly this exact kit we removed). The fact BMW sell that gave Mr VANOS the idea to try an S65 bed plate that hasn’t been machined. After checking all tolerances and clearances, ensuring the engine turns over etc he was happy with the results meaning we could move forward with the project. Time will tell but it seems to be running well so far.

[@Braymond141]

@@EvolveAutomotive thank you for expanding upon that. I sure hope it works in your favor. I probably would have opted for a line hone regardless.

[@Alpinabit]

Guys, what's up with that? You take one of the best naturally aspirated engines in the motorsport sector and remove the dry sump. Wasn't the right-hand drive known beforehand? Was the crankshaft bearing track measured during the conversion? Or did you just install the bedplate from another engine? Respect, no fucking way. I know exactly what I'm talking about, I drive a P65 in my M3e92 ;-)

[@EvolveAutomotive]

@@Alpinabit No it wasn't known. The car is not a track car so dry sump is not necessary for our use case. Yes everything was measured by our engine builder. Just not shown in the time lapse. It's amazing how so many people are butt hurt about the dry sump being removed in what primarily is a road car that will see some track work without slicks.

[@josephkelly4893]

Holy grail of naturally aspirated BMW V8s. Fitted to a 1M is just perfection. Anyone complaining about the loss of dry sump can go buy their own and keep the setup!!

[@adolfogonzalez1305]

As always, it's an excellent build. I read in the comments below that the dry sump had to go because it is RHD. But if it was LHD, would it be okay? Also, as you mentioned about the P65, is there anything special besides the cam profile, the dry sump, and displacement? Will this engine have the rod-bearing issue, too? I appreciate everyone at Evolve and can't wait to hear the answers to my questions :)

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It would be easier to have run dry sump in a LHD car, but would still have required a 10-15 litre oil tank in the passenger footwell (we were advised pressure drop from having it mounted in the boot would be too great) which considering this car won’t spend its life on track with slick tyres and high G force was a compromise we didn’t think was worth it for a road car. There is very little available information on this engine, in the future we may fully disassemble the engine to really see what’s inside and compare to a conventional S65.

[@adolfogonzalez1305]

I would love to see the tear down of both motors and side by side comparison. Thanks for the reply 😊

[@midlifecarsis6420]

Likely even more of so than the S65. Race engines are usually intentionally built to tighter tolerances to maximise performance and then refreshed/rebuilt each season.

[@Dr_Xyzt]

What are the names of the songs you played during the dry-sump removal and the engine install? Huge tunes! -- I assume since you now have an S65 block and P65 bedplate, you're in a rosy position to develop an S65 to P65 conversion kit with different dry sump tank ports, and maybe an S85 version. -- Gee, since you have a P65 with S65 parts on top, I guess you can dyno it to see what it does, and then when your dry-sump conversion parts are finally available, we can find out how much power the actual P65 parts are worth.

[@dobbo_f21]

I don’t normally like to talk negatively on people’s builds but I’m watching this and thinking what is the point? Considering the cost/rarity of the engine and what it is and then to remove the dry sump set up and intake just makes the whole exercise pointless imo.
