So who thinks it should have a 8speed lamik swap?

[@markburkey6371]

I would love to see the ZF8 swap but maybe with a more standalone controller since it's already a motor swap. No offense to turbolamik

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I havent seen any controllers that get close to the functionality of the lamik. Have you seen any that would work for a drift application?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I have to be honest, i kinda want to see this at roll racing and know the 8hp will get it down the track so much quicker than the manual. Also keen to see if dan can replicate whats been done with the latest koenigsegg. If this gets a 8hp, its definitely getting a clutch pedal as well.

@@ZeroTo60Tube That's what I like and want from the small turbo set up or any set up. I want the low down power and torque so it's there right from the dig and then it's much more controllable IMHO. As well the size and feel of the E46 chassis. It doesn't even have to be the M3 version as the Chassis is identical before the drive train and suspension are assembled. The interior is almost the same if it's from a 330CI even. I am right on board with wanting to have a car with full interior and all the comforts of BMW over stripped out car which is noisy and has no creature comforts. Man it's so good to have you back!

Hi Andrew. Off the topic of the e46. Iv'e got 2010 135 N54 with bad injector issues and a 2010 335 N54 which runs nicely but is my donor car for my planned 135 850hp build in the next 6 months. Iv'e been lazily trying to load INPA onto my MacBook Pro in between loading VMware and attempting to load Windows 10 onto VMware to load INPA. I keep thinking of a shortcut. Swapping out the DME's and the injectors just so I can drive the 135 which I purchased a year ago and had the pleasure of racking up a meagrely 200ks. I'd like to drive it this summer instead of my 07 Elantra workhorse. DO YOU THINK this simple swap wood get me going with minimal problems till I get INPA loaded.? Love the content.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Swapping them would work. However you will need to swap the dme, dash cluster, cas and keys. Which is a bit of a faff. Inpa/Insta is a right pain. A pain on a windows native environment. I don’t think it will work through the mac and a virtual machine. The usb k/d can is iffy when it’s on windows. Unless you have a proper icom. Have you looked in to protools? It does injector coding….. I think.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

So this is a haltech, custom harness and tuned by Dan. He had a custom com box made up, to make everything in the chassis work as OEM. So it does add some expense. Dan is looking at testing some Maxxecus in the coming months, i will try and be there through the testing. Based on my small amount of knowledge maxxecu would work better than the haltech as you wont need the addition comm box.

[@Vgk36]

Great question !!! Your on to something!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Unfortunately not. The dme needs to be in control of most of the fuel due to fuel trims and the way the closed loop o2 works. There is nothing good about the factory dme, other than emissions controls. They factory dme is an amazing piece of technology. But the logic inside it was meant for 300-350hp and fuel efficiency. Removing that factory dme from the equation makes the tuning a lot easier. Aftermarket ecus are really there with drivability and cold start technology now. It’s something I want to explore more before making a definitive opinion. But if the di goes, the factory dme definitely doesn’t need to be there either.

It's a answer I can't get from forums or anyone.. Having a cracked or broken (rear) inlet... Can that cause issues with performance and spool time because it's "Sucking in" too much air and the turbo is basically working "too well" I think I have that issue if it is one, so I've put my stock airbox on but covering some of the air filter with thin plastic to reduce the air and now it drives like a bat out of hell, but when I take off the plastic covering it, it drives pretty lack lusterly back to what it was before.. Should I upgrade inlets or is it something else? Cheers Zero To 60 :)

Welcome back mate. Better times ahead

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks very much man. I have missed this.

[@bavarianhero]

Welcome back playa 😎 Stick shift e46, all day. Then the auto next! Doing that to an m3 will be the next hot rod 🚂

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thats what i think!!! As long as it doesnt loose any of its character.

[@bavarianhero]

@@ZeroTo60Tube that’s true, I’ve been meaning to say I finally got the 335i up and running. The o2 sensors, the china HPFP literally did the job on the n54. I ended getting tires from a local wheel works. And the alignment it needed since 2015, I finally got it. The car has been running great again. I got state reff though about 2 weeks ago in the 350z, freaking sucked. Three cops ambushed me because I was grabbing my jacket to show them I was on my way to work, one got scared and said I was reaching for a weapon. When they saw I didn’t have anything they let me go. But I got state reffed for legal DC intakes. Legal in California. And aftermarket catted exhaust with silencers. Cars you either blend or you get bent…

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@@bavarianhero ohhhh man that sucks about the state ref. You must have been relieved to get the n54 purring again.

[@bavarianhero]

@@ZeroTo60Tube I was lol But I haven’t driven it because of everything that happened. I try to only drive when I need to and so far it’s going to be to court 😐

[@oleg232000]

Did they mention HP? Wondering what power is considered reliable in a stock N54?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

We did. It’s been around 550whp for about a year. However the point was more so the common failures on n54s. I see way more people broken down or cars out of action for di problems, water pumps, mosfets compared with blown engines

[@HarrisonD]

Keep it up guys the N54 content is golden!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks man! I have missed it, the last 6 weeks have been so depressing, felt like a proper brick wall. but i have so many n54 things i want to explore. Like stand alones, different engine building methods.

[@M3Pilot]

How did you get M240i brakes on the e46 m3? With a custom bracket?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Dan made up a custom set of brackets. Handy having a cnc machine in the shop.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Actually as I have said that. That may have been for his e90 m3. These may bolt on…. Ahhh I can’t remember now. If your y need to know shoot a reply though and I will double check.

[@ScubaSteveArkinstall]

I think the manual is fine haha, I’ve seen it skidding around QR but Buckna wasn’t driving that day..

[@Buckna1]

What good are drift cars if you can't lend them to your mates right 🤣

[@ScubaSteveArkinstall]

Well that’s bloody nice of you to let someone else have a skid ay and in such a nice well built car 😁 And its thanks to you recommending me to get an n54 e92 too, back when I had the n52 e92! Cheers bro 👍🏼

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Dans basically a life coach with the advice he gives out.

[@ScubaSteveArkinstall]

Aww yeah, that’s awesome!

[@asian4747]

Glad to have you back! Hopefully the man returns your laptop soon 👮‍♂️

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Yeah. This has been bloody horrible to be honest.

[@buddyaustin5822]

How can u get in touch with dan ive got a 2003 m3 e46 and have been looking to swap the i6 with an N54

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

He has since pivoted mainly to 8speed conversions. And right now the shop is booked our for about 12 months.

[@icn5465]

Oh well look who it is! Welcome back Zero To 60!!! Letzzz gooooo 😁

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

💪

[@stephenawizen2539]

Awesome to see you back!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks so much! Glad to be back!

[@Vgk36]

Longest 6 weeks of my life.

[@bencrosbie6003]

Keep it manual, what a car.. good to see you back!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Ohhhhhhh manual….. ahhhh you and Daniel are Probably right.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Ohhhhhhh manual….. ahhhh you and Daniel are Probably right.

[@sosikcodriftingakagaffa_ma2711]

👌💪 what engine mounts and manifolds 🔥🔥

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Dan made both of those in house at simply tuning.

[@mazboost]

Missed ya bro! Love this car. I got a spare PC with a 1080ti if it helps you

[@Vgk36]

Send it to him , he will need a spare as safety measure. I'm not even talking about him losing it even if it just fell off the bench it would be not a good day. Also he could keep the business stuff on yours and the timing stuff on his !

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks so much dude. I’m part of the apple clan with Final Cut Pro for editing. I got my hands on a MacBook Air for now. I miss my MacBook Pro it was such a beast for edits but this little air will do the job! How’s your n54 and mx5 going?

[@ZijkantLeutn]

Sick, just wild! Have the same 2 cars, but with their original heart. Keep it manual. Period!

[@benm6899]

Missed you guys, glad your back 😊😊

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Hey Ben! I’ve missed everyone in the comments too!

[@darkwafflez_6190]

HE'S BACK

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks man!

[@simonjohns3565]

So glad you're back..

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks Simon! It’s great to be back down here with the comments! Been such a horrible few weeks. Hopefully get to do some more filming on this setup while our cars are out of action.

[@BplexOnline]

why not build the S54 that came in with and add a big turbo in it and push 900whp+????

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

The value of the S54. They were fetching 14k here in aus just for the motor back in 2020. So the sale of the S54 paid for most of the build. And it makes more than enough power as it is.

[@hpfza]

Well, shit... I don't want to 2jz swop my E46 anymore. This is SICK!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

If you want to run around the 600hp-650hp its cheaper than a 2jz by quite a margain too.

[@jpkleynhans1724]

Im am so glad you're back. My life wassent the same without you💪💪😜😜👊👊

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Haha JP, I’m sorry it was so long. It was really out of my control. Crazy what’s going on.

[@markburkey6371]

You're the man!!!

[@chrisdickman7080]

I have a present for the channel if you want it? Custom steering shaft I ordered 2 from the UK so I could give you one. Might be good content as there are no others on KZbin

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks for the offer chris, but i dont think i would make use of it. Do appreciate the thought and i am sure someone will snap it up if you put it on marketplace.

[@gandhi_assuncao]

How does he got the hydro e-brake to work like a parking brake?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Its based on the original rachet hand brake mech

[@tk2070]

YES YES YESSS. Thank you for doing this yesss!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

No problem 😊

[@LilWonis]

How much would he charge to n54 swap an e46 sedan and can he build it to be awd?

[@LilWonis]

Does Dan have an KZbin channel

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Probabaly $20-25K aud labour, maybe more. It is a colossol amount of work to do properly. Get it dial and tested.

[@Vgk36]

My new favorite BMW EVER!!!!! This is what I have been dreaming about for years but not skilled or rich enough to pull off !!!! Don't go dual clutch go 8hp IF You do swap. But what about AC ! LAS VEGAS IS TOO HOT.

[@Buckna1]

AC and climate control works as factory! Heater as well. Qld is just as hot i couldn't drive this car without the ac! 🤣 thanks for the kind words. It's so far my favourite bmw ever as well... for now 🤭

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks for the kind words! I should have mentioned this. It is running a standard e46 a/c compressor everything works as normal but does have custom ac lines.

[@PartiBuoy]

How can I get rid of direct injection

[@petrolhead8851]

Beautiful e46 m3! Sounds insane!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Couldn't agree more!

[@nickboyco2666]

What can convert is he using to make the dash work?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I will try and find out some more info. But I think it’s a custom one running on a arduono or raspberry pi.

[@michaelshannon4138]

Welcome back!!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thank you Sir!

[@kkarnis3791]

That thing sounds amazing

[@m.e.d7609]
