Give my N55 what it deserves, a 3000 pound chassis

JETmn · 02-10-2014, 08:03 AM

Holy crap that is a ton of work! I am shocked the interior and everything is fitting so well. Hell of a good job man, keep it up!!

Sidewinderpb · 02-10-2014, 08:05 AM

Dude that's freaking awesome!

Rob@RBTurbo · 02-10-2014, 08:21 AM

Yeah, amazing work!! So did everything just miraculously bolt right up w OEM like fitment? (Engine and trans mounts, dash, door panels, etc)

Andrewe92 · 02-10-2014, 11:40 AM

wow.. i def wanna see the final project result with pictures logs and describing how it drives but get start and very impressive I havent seen a swap like this.. ever

tc535i · 02-10-2014, 11:50 AM

that's awesome, how's the turbo fitment? I see you had to make some room on the passenger side tower!

TeinBMW · 02-10-2014, 12:01 PM

Cool but how much did this cost you in money and labour? Neat idea. Love your work man.

current production engine, Newest technology, dme is mounted on the engine, valvetronic, one downpipe, improved overall design.

Actually less than what it would cost me to turbo the stock M52.

Yes. Someone who does not know BMW saw it and tought all those parts are original E36, LOL.

Dyno vids when done. I'd love to see vargas stage 2 turbo on this n55. Beast of a car, it would be.

I would never buy "vergas" hack job kits. I rather keep it all stock, I automatically upgraded the engine by simply going with lighter chassis.

All that trouble and you kept it automatic?

Yes, this thing will rip at the dragstrip, 6HP21 is state of the art automatic transmission

Plan on building the motor in the future?

Ajerthan · 02-11-2014, 01:19 PM

Thats fucking awesome! Best of luck!

jayzF30 · 02-11-2014, 05:46 PM

That is serious work, simply amazing. I would get her protuned on E85 when you get her running. It will be a serious car with that lighter chassis.

fasteddie222 · 02-11-2014, 08:30 PM

Wow man keep it up

eyim1988 · 02-13-2014, 06:11 PM

I cant stop looking at this thread.

Tiago@VRSF · 02-13-2014, 09:16 PM

I'm amazed everything fit in place so well. Nice job man

e92stance · 02-16-2014, 01:16 AM

Absolutely incredible.......good luck with it!!!! Reminds me of my Frankenstein honda swap days with motors and full interiors!!!

GB-335xiCoupe · 02-16-2014, 10:24 AM

Awesome work! If you really want to lighten it Frankenstein, remove the unneeded interior - back seats, passenger seat, side panels, roof liner, excess wiring, etc. I'm sure you knew that though. Just sayin... I wish I had the know-how, gumption, and time to do such a project myself. Major props to you. True street cred.

FriskyDingo · 02-17-2014, 04:49 PM

What is this.......I don't even....

Can't wait to see the finished product.
