srey · 03-20-2019, 04:45 PM

I'm pretty sure he sold the car a while ago.

The only main thing to sort out is the tach and I have that all figured out. Commercial version of the can adapter coming soon.

Car is not sold! Still have it a drive it. Mostly used to develop the swap parts, but they are pretty solid at this point and have sold many sets.

I've been following this for awhile, so you have transmission adapter plates, motor mounts, and a canbus adapter coming soon. Does the car function as stock now?

I am running everything sold by Michael and works great. I am in the final stages of my build.

Hey Snap, do you still make the conversion kits for this project as i myself have a 325i that i want to turn into a project car and this has really inspired me ��

Hobbs64 · 06-09-2019, 02:20 PM

Snap,

Can this swap be done on a XI car? I have a 328XI 6 speed car that I looking to do an LS swap or a S62 swap wna keep the AWD. I'm fairly certain I can keep the AWD and get a V8 swapped in. Now the question is which V8?

I don't mean to be a downer, but how do you plan to have the oil-pan mounted differential setup on an LS?

Was thinking the same thing...maybe you could get an LS from a 4wd pickup and swap in the whole drivetrain...

Maybe this approach would work? Just add the whole truck frame under the car!

Hobbs64 · 06-10-2019, 02:38 PM

Really? That is way down the list of issues with and XI/LS swap. I am more concerned with whether the Trans case controller interfaces with the ecu and how that occurs. If that piece is independent of the engine (i.e. the servo motor controlling the front/rear split takes its signal from ABS) I think the swap can be done seamlessly on a XI car.

So interestingly enough, some google image searching shows that the trailblazer SS uses an LS2 with an oil pan that has a hole through it and the diff sitting next to it running an axle through. I wonder if the whole trailblazer SS drivetrain would fit into an E90, since the transfer case is a mechanical torsen setup with no modules needed to control it.

No idea if it would fit or not. Probably not. But its an interesting thought experiment.

snap, are you selling the alternator/PSP brackets?

Maniac0908 · 08-30-2019, 10:40 PM

Do you/can you make all the parts needed to put the single on? I have a 6266 on my N54 currently. Also, do you or anyone know what these motors are capable of handling reliably? How much psi and how much hp/tq?

Staypuft_E92 · 09-29-2019, 05:32 PM

Hey Snap,

Does the e82 diff carrier kit for the Ford IRS diff work on F22 chasis?

SedansDoItBetter · 10-01-2019, 01:34 PM

Im glad to see a swap guide being posted for these cars, I plan on doing a jz swap in the future when reaches 300k.

snapc33 · 10-03-2019, 07:37 AM

Still here. Lots of these cars are being built now. I have parts available on my site lse90.com

I looked at the site and noticed there wasn't anything on electronics/canbus stuff. Will that be available in the future?

Yes. We have the tach and oil temp gauge working and showing coolant temp on the oil temp gauge. These adapters will be on the site soon.

Jfife83 · 11-09-2019, 10:07 AM

Hey Snapc33
I have my e60 ls swap in progress...6.0l ls is in place and getting brackets in place. Question about oe wiring harness... I am using ac, power steering, alternator and temp sensor. Can I cut all other wiring from the oe loom that's not going to be used?

Jfife83 · 11-09-2019, 10:15 AM

Snapc33 ...also can you reshare the photos on how to convert throttle pedal to cable please

surenD · 02-14-2020, 05:11 AM

dear snapc33,
that LS turbo swap is an awesome project, I have started my own swap of an lq4 engine into my e92 and would like some of your kind assistance...if possible.
Living in South Africa, means these kind of swaps are not easy for us, as parts .. especially modified parts ie engine mounts....manifolds are very difficult to come by.

hope to hear from you.
