E36 M3 - LS3/TR6060 Swap

[BMWManiac]

This is so bad ass....please tell me you are installing a brand new washer reservoir....that old, yellow one looks out of place!

Working on AC lines...

This is how they started.


I sent the lines out to an AC place to have a fitting brazed on that I can crimp to.
This is what came back. I bought a few different fittings as I wasn't sure what just would work.


High side line down at the condensor.


Hoses coming off the compressor


Low side line that will be crimped.

Again.... Damn.

^those brakes are ginormous, dude.

Sarcasm owns you

[Victell]

For the amount of work that went in, this is the quickest build thread I've ever seen.

[jakeb]

Well the car is back from alignment and...plated/insured. Put about 10 miles on it and then I will go over it all. But wow...it is nothing short of amazing. Wicked fast, sounds outstanding, suspension feels great. Very happy with it!!

Brakes need to be bled again as there seems like there is still some air. But all in all I am VERY VERY happy with it

Once it gets painted I will have updated video, pictures, etc etc

Car is back from the alignment now. Feels a lot better than when I drove it over there.....
Off to get plates on it so I can drive it and put some miles on it. Work out any bugs.

Cleanest the garage has been in months.

[CubbyChowder]

Man, this is amazing. Really stoked on this build

[jakeb]

Shop that I do alignments at had to reschedule me so not much driving today. But another shot video... I wasn't the one in the car so the revs are pretty low. Next time I'll get some better ones.

The only issue I have with the car is I keep wishing the brakes were bigger...


Taylor

Haha!

Those flares came out great!

[giantkeeper]

Interesting, I can totally see the e46 resemblance in it with those flares! I look forward to seeing and hearing the final product.
