I would definitely do a 402 LS2 swap in a 318ti just to piss off those stupid fucking Bimmer fanbois. I still don't understand the ignorance of many people who think LS1 swaps across car brands is stupid. It is simple. An LS1 swap is not only very reliable, but also lighter because it is an aluminum block. You also can have REAL power and torque. Good luck with your POS bimmer motor the day you find throw a power adder on it and a month later it needs a $7,000 rebuild... Shoulda gotten an LS1!
@zzzurd haha hell yea, gotta love LSX technology in a euro car :D, i wanna do the same and take a integra type r and put a LS1 in it just ta piss off the hardcore honda fan boys that always go VTEC!!! honda fan boys are the most annoying
@marcrockett I have an e36 with the stock motor. You cannot tell me that this car is not greatly improved now...so just shut the hell up. I'm so sick of people bad mouthing LS swaps
@archimedes8989 You are not a real BMW lover if you think this is improved. Your a LS lover. So do your e36 some justice and sell it to someone that will love it the was it was made.
But i do admire customization.. and something unique. I just dont have a desire for american engines.
There are kits available...the LS1-powered BMW (particulary the E36) is a very popular conversion.
Smog laws depend on where you live. In an area that does not require emissions testing, it would be totally irrelevant. In still other areas, the engine simply could not release more pollutants than the factory engine. Some areas are very strict about not changing the engine at all.
no he just locked the wheel and tried to break traction with power instead of a clutch kick. together that wont work but separate they should work with that setup
if it was, then only one of the tires would be smokin n other not, & not enough steering control in front to let the rear power trasfer whip the tail out, probably slicks/full rubber tires in front will solve that issue
I have an e39 528i that i want 2 swap with the 2jz-gte it should be fun i cant wait!! :)
