      This e46 is a 6.0 with a Texas speed cam! Ls3 will feel even better.

    Yo man I’m almost done with mine! So glad I found ur channel. I have an lq4 in my ‘03 325i sedan, just wondering what suspension do u recommend for both daily & track?

    • @battletested4061
      @battletested4061  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awesome! glad to help! I used to have a lq4 hahaha. I am running fortune auto 500s 10k and 8k spring rates. i love them but they are a bit pricey. When i do street it i always think to myself "this is a smooth driving drift car". A great alternative is BC coils. Havent really looked into other options. BC and FA are my go tos for builds. Not sure if feal suspension has E46 options.

    @nikhilwadekar565 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you swap it out after the BMW motor blew out or something? I have a recently purchased (~277000 kms) E46 and I'm not sure how long it will last, so I might consider this if budget allows

    • @battletested4061
      @battletested4061  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The bmw engine was running fine when pulled. Ended up trading the BMW engine for the tubing to build the roll cage. I already had the LS from a previous drift build and wanted to change the chassis.

    Can you use the stock ls harness to wire the micro squirt?

    • @battletested4061
      @battletested4061  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Technically yes. But with lots of cutting and the wiring diagram. Micro/mega you can wire it yourself or there are people that sell harnesses pre done.

    How much space is between the hood and intake manifold?

    • @battletested4061
      @battletested4061  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Havent measured it. But its nowhere near touching the hood. Cant measure right now due to the engine being out. Easily 2" at the least of clearance with hood closed.
