LsBeema

Only a few hours of work. Engine on stand. Removed, cut & cleaned sump. Need to source out some sleeves and tubes for the engine mount bushes. Loving this build...???? 20200108_140110.mp4

70A grade instead of 88A...

$2000 Complete with Ecu. NZ New. Engine ran strong. Removed the rocker cover to replace the gasket and looked like engine was well serviced. Never have any sludge. Normal oil leaks. Used +- 0.6 ltrs of oil in a year. No blue smoke. Would give a warranty. 20200106_130346.mp4

Yea man...these L98s come with the Ls3 heads and make easy reliable 450 -500whp with a cam kit & lifters(haha sounds like 1920s), port & polished heads, laser points and titanium condensors with a remapped carburettor?, cold air induct and a maf-less tune. Thanks for the tip for the cut outs brru...will leave that for after the cert?.

Will be picking up the captive bush kit for the engine mounts tomorrow. Also need to source out a rear subframe for the E60 Lsd.

Day 2 Removed heat shield from tunnel and tidied it up by cutting studs & touching up with primer& paint. Removed slave, fuel pipes, stabilser, pwr steering piping and drained brake fluid. Made up templates and cut some steel for the mounts. Got the Line-lock and exhaust cutt-out systems out the cupboard to bring them to the party. Tried fitting the transplant but I kinda knew that the sump wouldnt clear...was just to dahm eager. I want to start the Ls up on the stand or floor with the box coupled before i cut the sump to make it fit so the mounts can get fabricated. Holley sump here in 2.5 to 3 weeks.

Thanks dude..spoke to him

Saw these. Thanks homs

Productive day. Ls sump that I've ordered is 50mm to high. The Holley one would be here in 2-3 weeks. Would fab mounts, relocate ABS pump, look at steering shaft and start Ls in the ground....that would get the eager & excitement juices pumping?? 20200106_183556.mp4

Finally. Liposuction started. Aiming for 1200. Piping and fittings for Abs shift and clutch. Guy at Steerling brake& clutch says 36s 3/4 inch master would have enough pressure to order the slave...I have my doubts...Will see.

Hi Engineers... I plan on fabricating new engine and gearbox mounts for the Ls swop. Any guidance will be appreciated ??. I have read the lvvta specs and know the types that I prefer...but always open to know more ?

Hi, What are the options for a thinner steering shaft. ..? Has anyone imported one or had one made up..?

Hi Beema brrus Would anyone know if a M52 vanos seal kit would fit on a M50..? I can get the anti rattle kit for the M50 but only the M52 seal kit is available. Also ....would anyone know where can I get a kit from...? Thanks.

Yoh man. Thanks for that info. I was thinking around the $1000 mark with me doing all the fabrication. But for all that work with so less added hp and the risk if I go higher boost...nah. I would rather put my funds, effort and time into my Ls build. Once again appreciate it man. ?

I have a Sc14 laying around and was contemplating on wheter to chuck it on. I am ok with changing the injectors and maybe regulator with a remap...but is all the effort of fabricating the brackets and mods worth it...? And for what power gains...? Any advice homies..????

Last years cake. She couldnt find it in her to cut into the BMW at that moment..???

Nah homs...dont know wheter it was thee air...or the soil..or just the heart of the land..but coming from the land of South Africa...its like we have part-animal in us. Getting a e36 coupe with its tough az M50b25 manual with a lsd as a toy...one tends to unleash that beast which we always have to tame. Shes loose...and fun. The balance of an e36 is amazing...so...getting a low profile tyre with a big az wheel and dropping her as low as i can slows me down...which in calculation..is good...in my theory. My licence was once suspended when a 1000cc was in my hands so before too many streets got tattooed...she got "Stanced" homs?

Nah boys...the L98 is going into the e39..CONFIRMED.

?nieces birthday

Well shiver mee timbers...??..just look at this...???

?....uhhh..hold on...im sure somebody out there would have an appropriate answer...hmmmm???

Finally chucked them on. Bbs rk 002s 18×8.5 et13 215/35s Front needs about a 12-15mm more lower...? Removed silicon from inner of rear guards-?.. rolled all 4.. Had to share

Well I guess qube is that guy?....?
