E30-LS1 Swap KITS now available!!

[garretvs]

I agree with those welds not being up to par, you really shouldn’t be MIG welding something that needs to be very precise and have good penetration. Ideally you should TIG everything, and then post weld heat treat so your stress testing/finite analysis can be correct. As of right now, it’s not really being true to the actual product being produced I don’t mean to shit on your product, but if those welds were to fail someone could possibly loose there life. This isn’t something that you should be doing if you aren’t a certified welder, and I would know since I am preparing to take my certification test.

Good on you to become certified.

The prototype brackets for the 2nd diff mount were welded by us and are in our own car. 22,000 miles later, no problems. The brackets are welded on both sides.

We now laser-cut most of our parts, and bend them in a press brake -- the diff brackets are not welded, but formed.

Cheers

Garret & Steve

Anyone use one of these kits?

What else is needed on top of the kit, LS1, tranny?

Along with our kit, you need to get:

LS1 and T56
Radiator from www.usradiator.com
Intermediate steering shaft from Vorshlag
Modify a Camaro drive shaft
Differential flange from www.jagsthatrun.com
headers from www.sanderson.com
Hydroboost and mastercylinder from 97+ Mustang GT
etc

You're making the 3-series BMW should have made!

I'm trying to make a parts list with estimated costs. I want it to cost around 8500 or so including an e30.

[garretvs]

Our CD has a complete "Master Parts List", which details everything needed to complete the swap; with sources, quantities, hardware, etc. The parts list was complied for a DIY-type, who is doing the swap without our kit. Our kit parts and hardware are noted on the MPL.

Also note for those of you in California, which requires a visual inspection in order to obtain license plates, that our Sanderson headers may not pass. Check with your local inspection.
