- My built ls crate engine has finally arrived and we wasted no time getting it installed. It was a challenge getting the DCT transmission wired up but Nate took care of it. Once it got installed it fit like a glove.

Now the most powerful and reliable M3 available.
And low maintenance 😅
Facts
And you can find parts everywhere
💯
And affordable parts
Nate killed it on that wiring!
😊😊😊😊
Yuri and Ben are brilliant on frame repairs, Nate is brilliant at electronics and photography, Mark (and Paul) are brilliant on body finishing. This family have it all! No wonder they are so damned good….🙏
wow! it amazes me how well this engine fits in there.... and plenty of room!
great job here guys!
this is my dream bmw
Very interesting. As an F82 owner and a lover of the S55 engine, I’m very interested to see this project running when you’re done. 👍🏁
The exhaust and clearance is usually the biggest challenge and what clearance you have left for the rest of the things needed to go on. Great job Nate!
Fingers crossed that the fourth set of headers we try work 😅
Insane build guys ! Trust me put mufflers , when i built my e36 turbo i started with a straight pipe exhaust , its too loud , i finnaly redone everything and put 2 mufflers , if you are going to drive on the road , put mufflers , or valves if you have the budget. Sorry for my english , excuse me , i'm french ! Good luck guys !
It’s gonna sound amazing when it’s first start up 😊
When life gives you lemons just LS swap it! I saw how this M3 was sucking the life out of you. Love how you're turning it into something so awesome!
Damn that’s crazy. I just spun the crank hub on my f80 m4 a few months back and have been heavily considering LS swapping. This makes me feel a hell of a lot better seeing how it looks inside the engine bay.
Hit up Nate to build you a kit
Once we get it all figured out, we will be able to offer parts and support.
How did you spin crank hub? With mods?
Also curious your mods, driving style etc . I’m over 90K stock crank no issues thus far and I drive it hard.. not all the time but often. Just on a stock CS map tho so perfectly within factory spec.
Did it total your engine? Or just needed head work?
@@mcintosh.motors Spun it while downshifting. Was on stage 1 tune 72k miles I got the car with 60k so can’t speak for previous owners. Car has intakes, chargepipes / intercooler and upgraded heat exchanger. Did drive the car hard but I wouldn’t say it was anything out of the ordinary. If it feels like your trans is slipping I would definitely start to look up the hub. Just needs head work + all the spun crank hub stuff. So at this point leaning more towards a swap instead of a rebuild
Brutal team! Sick project! You guys are killin' it!!
"I just made that up but that sounds legit, so we are just gunna go with it" 🤣😂 well done dudes
There’s 23rd garage, motor head, and V-tunes Nate!! Who I believe is going to be the next Cho Foose
Nate’s the GOAT
Yuri has a very natural easy narration presence while hes on camera
Thanks bro, I just have an amazing audience and can be myself 😊
This build is turning out amazing 👏 Nate has all my blessings to be the master mind 😮
Go with the straight pipes for maximum tuning then if you want to dial back on power or quiet it down you’ll have those options still.
Personally I love what you’re doing! That is incredible fitment and great room for cooling system. Waiting with anticipation to seeing running!! Keep Orange Crushing It!
Thank you sir I appreciate the support
Best engine rebuild ever !! Smoothly rebuild with this clean engine and everything is fitting perfect ! A small Team with Yuri Nate and Jake you guys did a great job ! Now waiting for the final parts are coming and Finnish this great car , and Yuri hopefully you keep your 100 $ ! See you on the next episode !
Thank you bro, Nate and Jake are the best!
So it's gonna sound great combined with a hydraulic steering that gives real feed back....omg am I EXCITED!!
I highly recommend using the grace period afforded by that working DCT to hunt up a working transmission to mate with that engine. Here's the problem with the DCT: NO dealership or transmission shop will TOUCH it. Nobody in USA repairs these. Replacement cost is between $15k to $30k. Did I mention it's around 8 to 12 weeks for a replacement DCT to ship? Just giving you a heads up. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for the heads up, we will definitely do our due diligence and see what we can and cannot do.
Transmissions can be the weak link on a good engine swap. Don't know much about this one but hope it works out for you
Needs a supercharger because playing music in the car is not an option! Looking fantastic. Can't wait to hear this baby come to life. No baby formula here, just E85 😂.
Nate killed the wiring also getting the engine built. Yuri you and Nate have knocked this build out of the park. ❤
Automatic like button - engaged!!
Ok you gots to give that $100 to me.
I know of an F80 M3 with an LS motor, it's not running yet, but you said it doesn't have to be just the motor gotta be in it.
There's a guy named Yuri, it's in his Pops shop. Wire me that $$$ 😂
😂
Perfect fit, doesn't look cobbled together.
Hahahahah Yuri is going to pull an LLC on Nate! Bro, you guys are awesome, I love your channel. Big shout out from South Florida 🍺 🍻
I think the haters are probably thinking they have seen an E92 conversion as there's a few of them. Speed Academy did a engine swap in an M3 and got a look of flack as well, to be honest i was kinda one of them as i felt the engine was the soul of the M3, but changed my my mind when it was done.
I tell you what would be sweet, if you had custom cam covers made with BMW on the Left, your chanel logo in the middle and on the Right an LS logo!
Little Bro is awesome. As you. Keep it up
Loving this. I think you should use mufflers with some cut outs.
I like this idea, then we can be quiet when need be 👍
Exactly what I was thinking 👍
It was nice to see Cuz. Jake in there helping too.That trans kit looked about as easy as a 1000 piece puzzle of snow.Dang good work Nate.That motor looks Awesome!A bigger trans-cooler for all that power is my main concern.'Thrush' mufflers will allow great flow,a nice rumble,and not deafen you on highway trips.
If you guys do power mods later. You should do a LSA supercharger, instead of turbo.
I was wondering what the LS builders say about an exhaust system.... back pressure etc !
Its a pretty car, especially now you have lost that original engine !
I would love for some experts to chime in, hopefully the video reaches the right people.
Dam, he moves his arms just like his brother vtune.
Keep it quiet so when you rip, no one will expect it enjoy looks great
Nate has got one of those “electronics are pretty simple” type of brains that the rest of us just can’t fathom. Hopefully we all try to have a best friend like that! 😁
fantastic video (still not a huge fan of BMW, but not every ones taste) this is a pretty epic build, no half measures here, and i got to hand it to Nate, a great young brain, with his technical knowledge so far in his young life, and a tackle anything attitude, think what he will be worth in years to come, priceless - pay attention Yuri, he'll be asking questions after, epic
Yuri, i reckon you could be onto something here, reckon a few people are going to be wanting these conversions doing, got to be worth looking into - surely the exhaust should be one of them nice Army Trix jobs, they look such nice quality when them Goonie boyz are using them
Pretty impressive work. Now at 74 when your age the cars i messed around were pretty basic! I could not attempt what you guys do now.
Nate is really on top of it and is the quiet hard worker. Joe
The car looks great
*_Very nice job guys!!!_*
I wish I could put the 5.2-liter supercharged cross-plane crank V-8 from the cobra in my F82!!! If my S55 blows up or something catastrophic occurs, this may just happen!
Full exhaust street sleeper all the way u have everything else done already keep it going
Wow, amazing IT FITZ like a glove . Shout out to Nate the GOAT! Can't wait to see this baby rip. Too bad your Uncle had to leave, I'm sure he would have been a lot of added help. Would you be able to do this swap in my Honda Wagon?
Be careful replacing the BMW emblem with a Bow Tie on the header panel, don't want to scratch that fresh paint!
He even put back the power steering bro this is like the dream m3 build
Love the build !!!! Looks sick... Transmission needs paint..
I almost did it but it’s so much work to do it right 😅
Awesome job guys. Go mufflers. Looking forward to finished product
Finally something reliable
A sports exhaust sound fine, open pipes is too much imo. Just make it nice headers (proper diameter and length) i believe there the v8 profits most from. Big Up!
Yea lots of guys have said it will be too loud, guess we will be doing some flow masters or something
Been waiting to see the motor in the M3. Nate really killed it with wiring and ordering the parts. Looking forward to the next video to see this come together and hopefully running ! Not sure on the exhaust, in Pa you wouldn't be able to do straight pipes
I'm glad to see the engine is from were I have lived my entire life.
Don’t think I would straight pipe it unless you like talking to the cops every time you pass one. That will be loud 😂
Great stuff guys thanks. The car is looking really nice cannot wait to see it ripping down the road
oooo, this swap deff got my attention! less goo
you just made the most reliable BMW ever...thats awesome
i'm an avid BMW lover (drive an E92 335i an F30 330E, and for track use an E30 325i and lastly an E36 325 supercharger) all 6 cylinder models, with a mix of NA and FI on the different models, but swapping an LS is a different level, these engines are lightweight (sort of) and have lots of power, with awesome aftermarket support, these projects are just awe inspiring keep up the good work!! and share
Love your car collection sir and you are right about the weight, we actually shaved around 30 pounds compared to stock engine
Ls This ls That How about a cummins diesel swappp
Bring the Mclaren, I will supply the engine.
From NY to Georgia this build is biblical. I can’t tell you how much I want to do this always have. Since speedhunters in 1998. E30/E60/x5x. All please build 3 or 4 of these. Famous fans watch this here. 👀🦾🦿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
M539 Restorations would have a heart attack seeing this build. This is something I've only dreamed about doing.
Sreten is based in Germany. I doubt this sort of engine swap would pass their TUV inspection (a very specific vehicle inspection required for vehicles to operate on a public streets and roadways in Germany). It's a pretty strict inspection. You can literally fail it over worn wiper blades (no I am not kidding).
Anyone who routinely tightens fasteners on non-critical parts (heads.intake manifolds, lower end bolts excluded) is OK in my book (using the “Ugga-Dugga scale)… keep up the great videos!!! Fun to watch!!
I love the truck engine you're using
Ive got the same engine in my Tahoe from 1985
Mufflers of some type - not too loud
You guys are awesome love watching your videos and vtuned😅
Loving this build ! Very creative to try this with a newer Bmw
Nice work! I’m working on getting my $100 from you when I get my mounts made. And I will be keeping my electric steering with the can box.
Cool idea powerful dependable now you need bigger tires to plant the power.
This build is going to be wild
Oh YEAH FINALLY 👍😎
Man, I got a E 46 BMW all wheel drive, that LS motor in there looking real nice bro man I would love to have an LS engine swap in my E46 BMW. All I can do is dream bro. Retired Army Vets don’t we to have love to see good hard work out there…🫡👍😊
Another great project! Hot Rod Motors in Washington builds the best motors! Keep up the great work.
haha this is pretty dang cool man! really making it a german corvette
Can hear the s55 guys rolling in their sleep lol. That LS looks right at home!
This is pretty badass ngl! Love it🔥
Thanks bro, that means a lot coming from a fellow Bmw enthusiast 🫡
Yuri, Borla exhaust!!!!!! Just listen to one, I USE to be a Magnaflow guy, But I even use a Borla cat back system on my daily Toyota Tundra, It’s music when you get on it!!!!
Jesus Christ that’s such a pretty looking motor
I love the build👍👍 keep the great work up🇺🇸👍
Try Straight pipe, Corsa, and Bmw muffler just to see what sounds best. Or put either muffler on it and do electric cutouts to give it a straight pipe sound and good sounding quiet mode with the muffler.
You guys Are Amazing please once you go it all ready make a Kit for a Bmw F30 my little 4 cylinder engine need to be swap for a Ls3!
Hi Juri! How is it going? I'm not a real fun of swapping motors or Big modifications on Cars. I actually watch your videos because of your magnificent frame work. BUT this work is insane!! I can't belive how amazing and clean is that work turning, congratulations!! Your' re amazing!
Keep going 🙏
Let people know what you do to recode the ECU to delete the electronic steering, lots of f80 guys prefer hydraulic steering, and would love to swap to the e90 rack. Wise fab sells a kit, but you will need to fab your own tie rods
What an awesome LS-M3
Thank you for sharing this beautiful build with us! Don’t forget to add the LS badge to the grill!
You young Men are really onto Something! Yank the turd BMW v8, out. In my day, it was Jag XJ6 turds , with a small block 350,
Yoooo I have been watching you and your brother for a minute and this video your energy is so different you hyped about build .and m3 ls swapped killing it .keep the wild builds coming ..
Straight up 🔥🔥 video fellas.
Rated E for everyone
Great quality job with that nice engine. Looking forward to see it running!
Your the only person I've seen that fixed the power steering system problem with BMW's. The EPA BMW's from 2012 and up has electric steering systems that destroyed the feel and handling getting rid of the powered assist manual feel. This is why I will never own anything above 2012 and will keep my 2011 328i Xdrive E90, which is the last year of the last and true 3 series.
For sure Yuri hope that fancy motor runs smooth doesn't smoke, nate is before his time,great video Yuri hew you should sell used cars ,just kidding your, whole family rocks some of the best content on you tube 👍👍
Torque Spec: “Half a ugaduga” 😂
Do a bypass
Hey 23 Garage very good job building BMW M3 Sedan very nice good job I love like support and number one
I always like a nice head
put in a m3 e90 muffler on or the e39 m5 muffler you boyz make crazy happen! cheers from canada 🇨🇦 👍🏻
When I blow up my engine I’m coming to you for my build 🔥
tnx for the video
This thing will be insane!!!
A very neat transplant!! Don’t straight pipe it though, it will make it too boomy inside when on a freeway
bro this build :) is nice soooo nice !!!
if the shop is clear i would repaint some stuff make it clean :) the stuff in the background is bit distracting ... sorry but its true takes way from the rest of the builds
like redo the floors or something !
Thank you 😊 I agree bro, I cringe sometimes watching it back and I promise we will fix it in due time.
But will the blinkers work?
What are blinkers?
@@23RD Use hand signals
@@skinnerhound2660 There is only one hand signal BMW drivers use.
@@houseofno 😂😂😂😂
@@skinnerhound2660 can you teach me hand signals?
Electric cutouts or something like varex electric mufflers so throaty but wuit when you need stealth and open loud when you want to scare someone
Great job Nate your a beast. Very talented like All your brothers much respect.
Amigo saludos desde CDMX de 🇲🇽👍 no cabe duda que eres un chingón para todo lo que haces 👍😎🤟
Looks very good in there,awesome brotha,
