engine bay is pure art. Black-red type coloring, sick! Your e36 looks so sick with these wheels. For real, brilliant! Also your content is so informative and thanks for sharing with us! Hope we will see more and more videos from you. E36 as project car or daily.. This car is not put only a smile on face.. Its just shows good look by itself model.
Youre a really down to earth guy. Love the vid, explained everything perfectly to where even i can understand (i dont have a lot of mechanical knowledge). Its my dream to build a e36, probably something clapped for the mountains and drift, not so much a daily like yours. Car sounds great man god bless
I’m running Haltech ic-7 with a gm ecu for digital dash but I had to send it out back because the can bus wasn’t reading but connectivity through all connections was a go.
really nice setup, i also have the wiring specialties harness and sandon compressor like your setup, but could you go over the wiring again, i thought the black wire from the compressor was a ground, and how does the wiring specialties harness plug in? im out here in cali and have to keep it quiet so its awesome to hear these e36 ls1 screaming down the road, i also had the cx kit too, but found the mounts to be kinda bulky and didnt like how it used the ball joint bolt so i switched to the penseltucky engine mounts without issue, super fun to drive, and im still getting around 20-23 mpg. thank you for your videos!!!!
The black wire is power, so how I did it was I cut the connector off the harness and just used a butt connector to the blue wire for power to the compressor and I didn’t use the ground (the compressor is grounded to the block), and that worked for me. And I actually liked the bulkiness lol to me it distributes the weight across more of the subframe vs being on one small point but I can definitely see your perspective. And I know that’s right bro nothing better than having all that power and still getting good gas mileage! Thanks for watching man!!
This weekend coming up there was a few things I wanted to do on the car so i can jack it up and get some videos for you, send me your IG and I’ll get them over to you, I’m always down to help lol
@@dante_lsx did you connect the bmw drier to the factory harness or leave it unplugged, also did you end up adding the fan that mounts to the front of the compressor or does the duel fans keep all of that in check. thank you!!
Honestly I have no complaints, no hammering or welding necessary, only modification to the chassis was opening the shifter hole about half an inch, but depending on the shifter you use you might not have to do that
@@kaderoberts5598 rear housing, main shaft, reverse gear and a few other things, it’s only worth it if you can find one for cheap and are willing to rebuild it yourself, you can also do it with a Vette t56 and convert it to an f-body, those go for real cheap, if you want to go that route I can send you the link with the whole conversion kit
Looking at buy a guys build. But after the swap he has drive line vibrations, says its because the angle is off. Did you have any trouble with drive line vibs? This guy I mention also did a one piece drive shaft.
@@aaronbell5743 no I haven’t had any vibration issues! I’ve seen some people have issues when switching to a one piece but that’s normally when using a BMW transmission (I believe BMW trans don’t like one piece shafts). I’m running a T56 I wonder if that has something to do with it
@@dante_lsx Well this car has a Tremic 6060 in it.. He swears it drive line angle, but it could be a few things. I like the build but this has me a bit worried honestly..

Thanks for the kind words!
Nice car! You clearly love that car and have spent money on it in the right places.
Thanks man I appreciate that!
Haha, now im curious what MPG you are getting. Beautiful build. Thanks for the video and info.
@@studios696 it averages about 20-23 mpg, it’s not too bad lol. Thank you!
@dante_lsx I mean, that's kinda stoopid good all things considered!!!
I’m running Haltech ic-7 with a gm ecu for digital dash but I had to send it out back because the can bus wasn’t reading but connectivity through all connections was a go.
Which GM ecu are you using? Mine doesn't have a can bus connection at all.
@@dante_lsx 2010 camaro 2ss ecu
Needed this. The rings in my 4.8 are done so im doing an aluminum 5.3 and i want to put ac back.
Glad I helped you out!
Can You do a more detailed video of how the a/c is set up. Mainly the a/c lines & sensor. & how you ran them
Yeah I can see about putting that together
Also in for AC info!
You should get a small sheet of aluminum and make a heat shield for that filter. Its pretty easy.
Yeah I plan to do that this winter, along with some other big upgrades lol
Really good video, thanks! Could you precise your radiator and fan setup? Is it the Mishimoto performance or X-Line radiator?
Thank you! And yes it’s a mishimoto performance radiator with dual spal 11 inch fans, part #910102052
Thinking of doing this to an E36 M3 Sedan!
Do it! You’re gonna love it!

❤ OMG.
Do you have a list for this build? I want to do this swap. I have a 97 328is coupe
❤ it. can do a price breakdown of the swap 🤔
Yeah I can put one of those together one of these days, it’ll take a while to find all the prices lol
Nice build. Are you near Atlanta?
Thank you! Yeah I’m about 30 minutes away from downtown
I'm south of Atlanta near Fayetteville. I have a 1995 325i with 300k miles. I bought in Germany. I want to do an LS swap. I want to pick your brain.
@@biglou7041 ok cool shoot me a DM on Instagram, @dante_lsx
What did you do for drive shaft?
@@matthewwasley339 I went with a 3 inch aluminum from Coleman Racing
I need those ac lines asap
Hopefully they release them to the public soon!
Will automatic transmission work
Yeah an automatic will work too!
How do you feel about the cx kit? Did you have to weld or hammer anything?
Honestly I have no complaints, no hammering or welding necessary, only modification to the chassis was opening the shifter hole about half an inch, but depending on the shifter you use you might not have to do that
why does it say 99 mpg I was really hoping I could get all that to work with the ls swap im hoping to get everything working inside as oem as possible
I really don’t know and didn’t spend too much time diagnosing it because I already had the gauges in mind lol
What did you get the t56 from
@@kaderoberts5598 a cts-v but I converted the tail end to an f-body style to make it work
@dante_lsx so it's just the tail that needs changed?

are these swaps only in manual?
It’s possible to do them in automatic too!
Rough estimate on your gas mileage?
Right now roughly 20mpg

It’s cool to me lol
