E30 M60 v8 swap with GT45 Turbo

[slammin.e28]

Damnit. I'm still waiting on someone to reply to me to get me some mounts.

Don't implode yet pls.

^Its official, the V8 forum has divided by zero and just started eating its own tail.

Wait, aren't m62's and s62's the same?

Just shift at 5k dude and you'll have an s62, duh everybody knows that!

[dirty30]

Am I too late? Shit.

[iamsam]

Well, maybe he is just in his shop boring and sleeving his M62 block!

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yep, I'm pretty sure we chased him off. I guess he realized that there really are people that know what they are talking about on the interwebs. Last login was 10:55PM last night.

[Vtec?lol]

These M60s are tractor motors. Fucking bore that sucker and drop a new sleeve in there and roll. It's like rebuilding two TR-3 motors, HUH?

lol might as well buy an s62!
Like creeping death said. But really, If you bored out an alusil/nikasil block I would love to see it!!!!

also, quite a trivial reason to ban someone, I should say, r3v can dole out more than adequate flaming. Anyway, don't ban him while this thread is still interesting.

Exactly.

I'm really nobody here bud I would like to add that you can't post a thread with a title of V8 swappage and turbo and not have shit to show for it. You're leting us down bro, post some pics of the turbo.

[iamsam]

Post pictures of the engine, with the s62 cams in the m62 non tu heads..... provide some valid facts to back up what you are saying or I am going to ban you.

the thing is to flip the manifold on cyl 4-8 basically making it a forward facing turbo and remove the washer fluid container/reservoir and relocate it plenty of room to place a turbo and intake for the turbo. I took on this project a week ago and had a rather clear mind in this and I believe I have another 2weeks in building thats without body work. have the 6pt rollcage, reinforced subframe, e36 rack and pinion/steering gear, 5 lug conversion h/r coil overs, cf oem looking dash. Still working on the manifold and just ordered the turbo I did go with the gt45 for now. and a built m60 with e39 m5 forged interals (forged and machined) I went pretty much all out for this build and everything is inhouse so no waiting on parts where I could make them

Like I said I'm making my own manifolds there is plenty of room for me flip the manifold and have the piping face forward wasn't going to use factory manifold since they are rather restrictive in a sense compared to the manifold I'm constructing. using the s62 crankshaft forged pistons and rod s62 valves m62 heads with the s62 cams. m62 valve springs. I'll post pictures on here when I get home from work. basically a hybrid motor for boosting. This setup made 380rwhp no turbo with manifolds I made from before

If it is lame them why are you here simply put. No need to put negative comments its not needed. I was talking using the oem bmw manifold flipped. the s62 valves are slightly bigger in length. I am just using the s62 cams using m62 not m62tu heads. I started this build last monday since I already had a few motors suspension parts piping etc laying from previous work. I am doing this from my driveway because I don't have room in the shop and I have all the equipment I need at both at home and the shop so why not.

Just highlighting some stuff there that jumped out at me when I read through this.

I smelled BS from the beginning, but it has become rather interesting.

Disregarding the fact that most of those engine parts you mentioned won't fit together without a huge amount of modification, what about cost? Why wildly modify an M62 to fit a ton of S62 parts rather than just buy an S62? It would be a lot cheaper.

To summarize: Making an M62 accept S62 cams, valves, valve springs, crank, rods, and pistons is like making an S62. Word in the street is, BMW already made a ton of them.

You're using forged s62 internals/cams on a m62tu with m60non vanos heads?
did you bore out the cylinders? I would love to see it if you did...

[Jean]

Where are S62 cams in m62 non vanos head?

[JGood]

What about the pics of the fully built turbo m62? That's just a disassembled stock m62.

Wow I dont look at the V8 swap threads very often.

Today I am glad I did, this thread is going places :rofl:

[MattAvino]

Quite feisty up in this thread.
