jbc3 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Another hybrid project. Not a Z car, but good information and pictures on some fabrication work. The project is a work in progress and Jason is updating the page regularly. http://www.vorshlag.com/E36ProjectBook.asp I love the factory sticker on the BMW!

Michael Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 This is really, really cool! And such a poke in the eye of the purists! (BMW purists are even more ornery than Datsun purists). I have a 1992 E36 coupe. It truly is an aesthetically beautiful car, but indeed the power (especially the low-end torque) is unpleasantly vapid. I don’t want to jinx my engine by pondering a swap (just yet), but when that puppy finally chews its last bone, and Hans and Fritz will want to charge $8000 for fixing it, it’ll be time for a LS1 swap.

jbk240z Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Yo, I hear ya dude, Something about a BMW LS1 swap, seems very vague now that I have seen those most impresive headlights. Excessive horsepower is like chinese food or sex, 5 minutes later you are hungry for more!!!!..........LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have a buddy that's thinking of an old school SBC (GEN I) into a 318Ti. The engine compartment is the same size as the 325,330,etc. Any links to stuff like that, please forward to me if you can. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psykovertible Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have a car that I have been considering a swap in. Its an 87 325 with the 2.7 L6 and fivespeed. I love the body style but its a little old for most. I want to put the ground effects all the way around and get rid of the steel bumpers by using the one fiberglass ones like the 318. I figure its on the same level as a datsun swap cause I'm 2600 in a nice little car. When it finally blows up (lick a rock for 4 yrs)..... I'll put a v8 in. I dont know about an LS1 though. those are still a little complicated for my backwoods shadtree mechanical skills. as a side note....... comes with pretty good braking and a stout straight axle from factory.
