- In this episode, we drive the LT for the very first time with BMW M57 3.0 Twin turbo diesel. Responsiveness is through the roof! Our mission is to improve the overall experience of driving such cool rigs! They deserve engines that match their caliber. This kit is the result of hours and hours of Engineering using CAD, CMMS, 3D printers and endless experimental trials! 100k+ miles' worth of overlanding expertise to south America and back, and so much passion.
The Boxeer Team!
As the proud owner of a tuned BMW 335d... The sound of this engine and the performance is... Honestly, mind boggling. There's really nothing like it.
I have a LT 40 4x4. And I definitely need this. I have been to Australia and India with it. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. Looks great. Good job guys.
I only just saw your video. We are about to put this engine in our LT. Can't believe that not only were we beaten to it, but by years 😂. We had a British Ford Capri old school 3 litre in it, then a Jaguar v8 on LPG, but the M57 is the perfect engine for it I think. We are going for about 260hp and adding a separate overdrive gearbox independent of the main autobox to allow for great highway cruising
SUPER das ist doch mal ein SUPER Motor und stolzer Besitzer. Gut gemacht Grüße aus Bayern
Sick setup!
Thank you! Yeah it rips
That's nuts! Love how the inspection cover finds use, plus reuse of the coolant tank means secondary inspection hatch also reusable (I have later model with two hatches). Would be a crazy upgrade from my original 60hp lol! Got the ACT NA engine...
I can’t wait to see the LTairstream with some 37”s
Man I would love to have one of those engines in my 93 f150
Fantastic built, well done gents
Badass!!! Keep up the videos im loving the channel i see a swapped vanagon in my future Greg im super excited
Salut à toi Grégoire.
Tu réalises des montages incroyables et vraiment uniques dans le monde vw.
Cela fait plaisir à voir.
Si un jour nous passons aux united states nous viendrons te passer le bonjour du vieux continent 🇨🇵
Nice work Team Boxeer. I’m looking forward to an m57 for my LT!
'kin brilliant. And the Dog likes it too. I'm wanting to put one in my 64 Impala.
very cool. certainly plenty of power now. been watching OM606 conversions from dieselpumpuk. not quite as much power but certainly capable of more.
So rad brother. Ist starts on the diesel swaps are always good.I got a few under my belt.
Thank you! 🙌
Consider custom fabricating an air ride suspension for the front. Nice work.
Thank you!
This is awesome! This is the perfect engine for such a cool rig!
How did you make the engine run without all the chassis modules? I've wanted to swap this engine into a miata for a while now. Trying to understand what to watch out for.
Get the ECU reprogrammed.
Ultimate van life rig! Would love to see it built out and the rest of the drivetrain! A
Hello guys,
What an awesome project!
I was wondering if you are open to getting in contact. I would like to ask you some questions if you are willing to share your knowledge.
All the best to you.
Who did you use to tune this? I would love to swap this engine.
Now I'm torn. I've been looking for a decent syncro to get your 2l tdi boxeer...the LT dang bud..still hoping for an update on that pdk trans in your syncro...I want to cruise at 75mph.. reliably. Anyways congrats on the LT it is another awesome retrofit. If I cannot find the syncro I'm looking for the LT...may do the trick
holy shit i want one now!😍
Might have missed it, but what kind of gearbox is in there? And what did you have to change about the original chassis and drivetrain to get this working?
Wow really nice. Where are you guys from? Would you be able to do the same for me in my lt 40 4x4?
Dont detune it to much the axles can handle 350 bhp .they used them in Dakar trucks
Would this engine also fit in the reguler non 4x4 VW LT1? With the spring coil front axle. Did you keep the original LT gearbox or replace it with a BMW transmission?
Good question. My question also.
If you need to ask things like that, don't even think to make an engine conversion. Better find a competent mechanic.
Bruh that dog gives me anxiety
What gearbox is used with this engine?
Nice!
diff is close to oil pan, Bumpstops?, awesome!
GOD i love the U.S!
Thank you! it's a blast to drive! we keep in check all clearances! ALL GOOD!
Did you really imported this vw from Estonia? 😂 can i ask how? 😅
Why do you have to keep getting all of my dream projects.
Auto lever and it’s a manual? Am I missing something? I love the setup!
What looks like a auto lever is the transfer case 4H 2H 4L , there is an actual 5speed shifter next to it...
@@Syncrogreg that’s what I was thinking, didn’t know if it was originally auto and converted or what. I love it! It would be interesting to see a bmw auto adapted to the 4wd, sort of like what you’re doing with the PDK setup. Auto is king for 4x4s imho.

Hi I bought the same van and have a m57 engine can we chat? I need help with some ideas please.
Hi guys, awesome setup! how do I get in contact with you guys? I own a lt 4x4 and have just purchased the m57 engine to make the swap. Do you guys have engine mounts and or other parts for sale? Could save me some time making them myself.
Nice video! Why do u have Estonian license plate? :D
Is there any recommendation and experience in Europe of that incredible awesome scenario? :)
Excelente trabajo😉 donde lo han echo?
Greetings from Turkey, you have a Volkswagen T3 1980 model. air cooled 2000 motor. Bu motoru değiştirmek istiyorum, Volkswagen grubu bir araç motoru ile. Hangi motoru tavsiye edersiniz.saygilar.
A 2.0 TDI conversion would be amazing. Is it possible? My LT has the 2.4l 6 cylinder patrol engine, which is not very fuel efficient.🤢
Use a 2.5 TDI engine from a VW T4 or a Volvo 850 / V70 / S70. It fits the bellhousing of your gearbox and you can alter your existing engine mounts and oil sump to make it fit.
@@TerrorJohn so tell me about the diesel volvo engine. Is it turbo diesel?
Would be interested to know the fuel consumption also
Wow. I hope the rear axles can stand the so much stronger engine.
Are you using a BMW gearbox, or have you used an adaptor to conect to the original one? If you use the original LT gearbox, aren't the RPM's to high? I have not had the posibility to study an original 4X4 LT. What is the normal clerance from the oil pan to the front axle? is this BMW engine leaning less to the right than the old DV engine?
I am well under way with converting my 2wd Karmann LT, from 75hp NA diesel to 2,5TDI 116hp, 5 pot AAT Engine. It is mostly electronics remaining. The clerance under the bellypan, to the front axle was around 1 inch, now it is about 0,4 inch. It is leaning a wery little bitt less to the right. I will use the Volvo M46 overdrive gearbox, from a Volvo 240 Diesel, to reduse the RPM's with 22%. The M46 gearbox weight 33kg and the old LT gearbox 55kg, so the LT gearbox must be strong.
What dip stick is that? Usually they are on the side.
I want one of those engines. Where can i find one?
Any more Information on the conversion kit? For the LT31?
Would be great to hear about this please, a year laters
Are you using stock gearbox or orginal from bmw
Rocket BOX
Le pont a était changé ?
Really nice job what about the abandoned jeep is it for sale??
LT 40 is much better and M57 is best solution here. I have LT28 and 2.4 diesel this is so slow :D
I need one in my Jeep
I can help you PM from boxeer.com contact page plz
@@Syncrogreg I also have a JKU looking to do a diesel swap. I've sent you a message as well through your website. Could you help me compare donor options from a BHW TDI and this M57? Adapters and swap details, costs, etc. Thanks man!
SO TAKE IT OUT AN GET IT DIRTY LETS SEE WHAT IT WILL DO ALL THOSE OLD EURO RIGS SEEM WAY UNDER POWERED HOW FAR CAN YOU TUNE IT UP TILL IT STARTS BREAKING STUFF?
Tdi? Comonrail?
My specialty yes
Is the dog still alive?
