If you plan on keeping the stock cluster, keep the electronic side of the ABS, throw away just the hydraulic part. If you don't have rear speed sensors, you can repin the connector and put the front signal wires where the rear would be, that way you can have speed and mileage on your cluster, no matter what rear end you running.
Yessir I’m 17 and I bought a hatch s13 and I been working on it I have watched all your vids and try to keep up I’m a big fan and I live your channel but I hope it grows more you deserve more views tbh but keep it up and hopefully you read this it would mean a lot!
My car's transmission was made by GM of France, however. With a couple nice modifications. Sequential shifting capability that actually worked. The transmission is Good for 300 HP, so if you are using a GM transmission it should fit to a chevy engine. Same transmission used in a Cadillac DTS or Deville, or full size C or K trucks at the time. Really good solid auto transmission that came with 2nd generation 3 series BMW. 3 speed with overdrive, that was also geared quite well I thought. Especially the overdrive gear I thought was especially good.But I'd imagine a manual would be the best if it can handle the HP.
Taylor Ray ran G8 GT manifolds on his 6.2 with stock heads and made mid 400s rwhp. Maybe hit him up to see if he still has them. They fit a miata so maybe they will fit a bmw. He did pick up significant power with longtubes.
Forward facing headers are gonna suck for the serpentine belt routing but it's so worth it. I hid a whole muffler in my front bumper so I could dump exhaust put the side of the front bumper.
I feel like I have seen Jimmy put a million throughout bearings on BMW gearboxes at this point 😅 Now when I am finally able to afford a K swap for Miata I will be well able to through a Bmw gearbox on it!!
Man Brian getting upset at these comments . I agree with jimmy and Brian people are experts when it comes to custom work until it's time to do it. I respect these guys hustle .
Headers for that car with the space is a nightmare bhall!!!!! That thing will rip plenty with stock ramhorns!!!! Block huggers would help but you still would have to clearance somewhere.. she looks awesome dude
The biggest deal with the headers won't be power. It's going to back pressure. Back pressure leads to more heat under hood. I'd plan to add vents for heat management or at least help with getting heat out.
One of the things with a 3 series, you can have "too much" Horsepower if you don't have the M3 suspension upgrade. Even then, the light weight of the 3 series does make a good drifter, one of the best with its more than stiff chassis. I've always thought this engine + trans to be a crazy combination. Yep it is. lol Great point about upgrading oil pan. So many forget how that is important for a drift car. People/Guys just want to do donuts and not think about the consequences and gravity and G-force and what that means for your motor. lol
Derek hit the nail on the head about LS swaps nickel and diming you the entire time. Don't blame you at all for using the factory manifolds. Had exhaust not been the first thing I ordered for mine I'd probably have gone factory too.
This really look great, I would do anything to swap my E46 with an LS but to get an LS in South Africa is like chicken teeth and hell off expensive. can't wait to see this swap done. great content.
When this box inevitably breaks the one you wanna find is a ZF GS5-39dz, it's the e39 530 diesel box and that's the cd009 for us over here. The six speed (GS6-39dz) is also good but the five speed is a tad stronger. My mate has this box in his pro class Pontiac GTO with about 530 wheel hp.
I had an unsprung expensive clutch disk in my E36 328is NA build and I would have to spin the tires just to get the car to move from a stop, there was no soft engagement and the clutch disk only lasted 38k miles 😆, next clutch was a heavy duty sprung 6 puck ACT and it was 100x better and less stressful to drive.
Jimmy the engineer, you should know to hold fhe bolt with the allen key bolt and torque the nut down. You held the nut with a reach and impacted the allen bolt damaging the bolt seat and most likely didnt didnt even torque at all.
TRIP TO POLNAD! Mby a little collab with Mr. Candyman (Piotr Więcek, old Formula Drift driver)? That would make such an amazing content + damn, whole europe would come down to meet you guys! :D Consider that!
Damn! Thank you for making this video. I’ve been looking for a video for this set up! Now I just have to figure out if the 6speed zf can handle the ls!
You’re welcome to stay with us in Poland and let’s go drifting ❤️
Hell yeah that would be a badass collab!!!
that would be epic! greetings from Czech o/
The videos would be amazing
oh that would be a sick crossover!
The collab of dreams
Right after Brian said wipe his butt the TH-cam video went to an ad for charming toilet paper TH-cam's getting good real good
Cracked me the hell up
I LMAO!!! This too funny!!
Wow!lmao too funny
Good one TH-cam, good one
The moment brian said we need him to film them wiping their butts i got a charmin toilet paper ad loooooool
I got a bounty ad and a pampers ad lol
I got the same add to. They planned it haha
ya'll get ad's? lol
TH-cam vanced, no ads
First Hoonigan this vs that now Jimmy. Such a good morning.
SAME HERE DUDE 😂

How do you get the ls ecu to accept a vss vehicle speed sensor reading from the bmw?
@@ThomasBilt have u figured this out? i’m looking to find everything i need to know before starting on my swap
this was helpful !

Congrats on the S13!!
Derrick is now my favorite because he rides a two stroke. Damn I didn’t know y’all rode dirt bikes so much!
2 smoker baby!!!
You could try C5 or C6 exhaust manifolds. They’re built for tight spaces and have a slightly longer collector
OAKES GARAGE x NEXT LEVEL DRIFT bois?
That`s what I`ve thought. Maybe Seduced (they invited Noriyaro, Chelsea and Lonestar)
Jimmy just put a Next Level sticker on his Polish E36 this past weekend. We've come full circle bois
Sachs peformance clutches are the best! my clutch was rated at 400NM+ still holding strong after a year of 520NM
Hit up nightride in poland jimmy if you want to drift there lol
Dj actually had a good point with that question of the day... I’m proud of his stoned ass haha 😂
plus the old "might need to delete that frame rail" had me dying
They hold Slot of power
Forward facing manifold and a big turbocharger
I always have to stay and watch until the end of the video. The outro song is just too good!!
Come to next level! Best grassroots event here
Sheesh! If you wanna come to Poland I have a space to have you! You inspired me to start my channel and would love to meet you and hang out 💪❤️

Always wanted an LS e 46. Can't wait to see Brian ripping it

I just ordered this because of yal doing LS swapped 240 with this swap just like the black one on the background
Been waiting on my TDR mounts since April 2nd😩
Go Brian GOOO!!! So happy for you
Maybe one day we can have a LS46 meetup 🥺
Forward facing headers are gonna suck for the serpentine belt routing but it's so worth it. I hid a whole muffler in my front bumper so I could dump exhaust put the side of the front bumper.
Damn, come to Poland for Next Level Drift guys!
TDR is “Tire Death Racing” I used the same adapter and engine mounts on my 46
Not from Poland but from Slovakia, not far away, if you find your way through Slovakia I can show you around some of our scene
Poland here comes Jimmy!!!! So cool this is happening
You guys already know that you are welcome in Poland,you know who Donmusk is and all that stuff,would be crazy to see you on our tracks :d
That's the exact oil pan I have on my ls swapped 89 camaro drift build,keep up the good work guys!!!
Ooooo hell yeah man you should visit Poland for sureeeee, drift culture in on poooint!!!!
I’m all in, on my 5th e46, so what y’all are doing is my next step!
The car on the clutch box is the Norwegian drifter Joachim Waagaard. Bmw m4 with a LS in it.
In Europe we would use 330D gearbox they are ''the strongest''
i don’t think we have that in america
@@mromagachi5194 gerbox code if it helps GS6-53DZ
Clutch slip will probably be the only thing preventing that gear box going bang😂, can't wait to see this
Dont ZF boxes handle 700whp?
@@Jake_Hamlin it's the torque that will kill it. Driveshafts, prop, and diff will probably go first
I feel like I have seen Jimmy put a million throughout bearings on BMW gearboxes at this point 😅 Now when I am finally able to afford a K swap for Miata I will be well able to through a Bmw gearbox on it!!
The zf trans is a nice transmission
Front plate the motor in so easy and works awesome
Man Brian getting upset at these comments . I agree with jimmy and Brian people are experts when it comes to custom work until it's time to do it. I respect these guys hustle .
🇵🇱Greetings from Poland!🇵🇱 I am here since budget 240. Love the content! ❤️ Keep up good job 🤟
I completely forgot about this transmission, now I know what I'm going to use in my IS300
Fun fact: polish people are fantastic machinists. But you learned that from quality of that piece.
Headers for that car with the space is a nightmare bhall!!!!! That thing will rip plenty with stock ramhorns!!!! Block huggers would help but you still would have to clearance somewhere.. she looks awesome dude
slotted mounts is insane
The biggest deal with the headers won't be power. It's going to back pressure. Back pressure leads to more heat under hood. I'd plan to add vents for heat management or at least help with getting heat out.
4th yh both about time Brian needs to get his car going again
The real ones know this is a good setup and the factory headers will be fine; stoked to see Brian's e46 rolling smoke.
you need a heavy duty rear end in order to hold that power. M3 or SLG axles.
"This part literally spends its life going back and forth on the shaft, so keep it greased." That's what she said. lol
Ooooh nighride invite get on it boys 👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shout out from Tennessee
Shout out from Tennessee
Derrick's smile when he got to palm kr haha epic keep up the vibes ps good to see Grit Sanderson 🙏🏾🤘🏾✌🏾🤙🏾
There are so many BMW's drifting in Estonia as well.
The aggravation tht was on Brian's face about the backorder on headers was felt from the heavens and then some 🤣🤣😂

Ask hurt if he can get u connected to Don Musk! That name should be familiar 😅 the people over there are like the most hospitably and friendly
Would be awsome to see u at next level drift with the PAN!C Crew, nightride and so on

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS OVEN CLEANER IS IT!
looks right at home. LS Building isn’t for the weak haha. not going to need my oem corvette headers for awhile if anything..
So stoked for Brian!
“So we can prep the engine bay in preparation” Ole JO preaching out here 😂😂😂
Im frrom poland, our bimmer scene is stronk af boi
So much damn motivation for me to start mine!! 🙌
Thank you brain for repping the e46
Finally more progress for the junkyard LS
Dereck should tune that bad boy when you two are done with it
Swede's usually put the zf 6spd from the diesels into whatever swap, theyre good for power 😅
I want to put a 4.8l and this DCT into my '87 300zx with the lid and eventually s13 suspension components along with some decent coilovers.
She gonna be rowdyyy! Don’t forget reinforcement 😂 and get headers.. cmonnnnn!
Motivation to build my 5.3 sitting on an engine stand :D
Vortec LM7?
I AM BEYOND EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!
Crank be flexin like a noodle at high rpms🤣🤙
I've been planning my own v8 swap for years but couldn't afford it.
3uz swap can't wait to have the engine imported
That adapter is genius!

Love me some ls content and can’t wait to see Brian’s face when he getting his head glued to his head rest for the first time lol
On the mention of manifolds, Taylor made plenty of power on his g8 manifolds on hi ls mx5 so plenty of room on the factory manifolds.
I had an unsprung expensive clutch disk in my E36 328is NA build and I would have to spin the tires just to get the car to move from a stop, there was no soft engagement and the clutch disk only lasted 38k miles 😆, next clutch was a heavy duty sprung 6 puck ACT and it was 100x better and less stressful to drive.
The zf trans from the e39 530d can take e beating and hold alot of tourqe. We use it alot here in norway👌👌
Speed engineering headers dude
Yoo jimmy I love the videos been watching for a year now. Love all your cars. Love too see what else is coming up
I've got a ton of family in poland and my cousins got the drift bimmers :P
Thank you! I was just thinking of doing this with my 4.8 and s2000
Someone send NIGHTRIDE a link, might be able to help you drift Poland!!!
Love me some B Hall content. Always gets a laugh outta me. Solid dude.
Can't wait to hear how " BFD" sounds loping in that BMW
VW Golf’s, BMW’s & Audis are the Polish trifecta
Such a great excecution of "Noice"
Noice guys. Great work Jimmy, Brian and the crew.
We’re live Oak boys!
Get some of the Holley cast exhaust manifolds with v bands to give you some room they’re cheaper and should fit nice
I love these channel .. they be putting in work . I've learned a lot just watching looks like they have so much fun . .
Way better then any Brett Collins kit.
Good morning ☀️
This thing is going to be awesome
I like Brian's confidence
"Big motor little trans, I think it's gonna work out"
Jimmy the engineer, you should know to hold fhe bolt with the allen key bolt and torque the nut down. You held the nut with a reach and impacted the allen bolt damaging the bolt seat and most likely didnt didnt even torque at all.
I’m sure him being a engineer and mechanic he’s well aware of that. And also judging by the fact he done it, he doesn’t care

Damn! Thank you for making this video. I’ve been looking for a video for this set up! Now I just have to figure out if the 6speed zf can handle the ls!
The 6 speeds are good for a decent amount the small 5 speeds are like 500 hp max
@Hiighmountain you guys have any idea on how to get a vehicle speed sensor signal from the bmw to the ls ecu that it will accept
This one was seriously awesome guys. 🤌🏻
