Thank you so much. Now I know what to do with my e36 coupe with "m50b30" stroker which was on 5hp18. Now it is in total body restoration using more than a half of the body from Japan without any rust at all.
Nice to see another one out there, just finished this swap for someone running in an M3, we opted for turbo lamik though as car was factory manual and owner wanted to retain clutch features that can't be offered with any other tcu set up. 👍
Exactly what I was looking for. My wife only wants to drive Automatic, and her first car is a 98 328iA E36 Coupe. The 5hp is so damn slow, and it's annoying, especially going uphill. And since it's losing oil it's full of clutch material, I didn't want to replace it with the same one and was looking for a 8hp but didn't know where to start. Thank you !
True. I asked about that from the developer and it should be released soon. It looks like I will be doing the 8hp on the X5 too, so I'll probaply use it in that.

Excellent, looking at prices for these it is becoming a compelling swap, especially in the future as the manuals become harder to find. It is also an outstanding transmission, reliable. The hardest part so far mount and drive shaft. It would be good to know what the length of your final one will be( I assume this is the final one but no run time yet). part 2 part 2 part 2!!!
I'll measure the length of the driveshaft in the next part for reference. The part 2 should come out "soon". I have already filmed 95% of it and I have the setup working. I just need to get the engine to run better to be able to include some driving footage also.

It is crucial information but sadly i can’t understand when do you say N and when do you say M. So please write it somewhere because i plan to swap my M54. Thanks
Yeah, I was about to say that there's English subtitles too. I will still prolly do some sort of list of used parts, when this is complete and verified that everything works.
@@pazi88 that would be great, also till now i only saw the transmission being bolted on the engine with the steel adapter plates that are cnc machined and are at least 1 cm thick. Do you think this plays a role because your transmission is now closer to the crankshaft because you bolted on the transmission directly to the engine
@@Shari_Tejp Well almost every other 8HP swap needs some sort of adapter between the engine and trans, because the bell housings don't match. And also custom flex plate etc. But as I said this N55 8HP45 swap to M5x is one of the easiest/cheapest, because it doesn't require those kind of big and expensive adapters.
Hello bro ... Thank you so much for your beautiful video and information.... But i wonder what l shifter A/T you are using and can be also DTC 7HP ?!!!
I'm using F-series 8-hp shifter, because those are cheap. But cantcu wiki has list of supported shifters: wiki.canformance.net/doku.php?id=cantcu:supportedshifters
did you note any of the measurements for things like the driveshaft? a parts list would be tight too. I want to swap my stock m52 to one of these in the coming months
@@pazi88 Thankyou!! I would for sure appreciate it, I want to get mine swapped by the end of the year. Ideally I'm thinking of having everything prepped and ready to switch, and see if I can do it over a weekend XD
This has been a little dream of mine for a while, I have a '93 325iA coupe that I converted to M51D25 manual, and a part of me really misses the automatic (but the stock autos of the time are trash). Curious to see how the trans gets the tacho readout etc in order to switch gears at the right time. Also, as most probably knows you can use a linear potensiometer and have a "clutch pedal" for some "inspired driving" xD End game would be a M57D30 swap with a 8hp transmission. That would be my ultimate driving machine. EDIT: After actually watching the video in full: it would seem as that pairing a 8hp to the old diesel engine would be harder than first thought, so in reality I'd need to actually swap in an m57 engine at the same time.
Yeah, you really need quite modern ecu that can accept torque/rpm requests from transmission. Although 8hp can work without those, but the shifting wont differ from old automatics then 😅 So yeah, you need the m57 swap too 😁 I think there is mod for dde4 that gets you throttle blibs in that with CANTCU.
Hey! Im done with the gs6-37dz swap in an e46 320ci, based on your e39 video. :) But i used 320d clutch, different clutch shaft extender, different gear selector and drive shaft. It works like a dream, the car is much more "powerful" in 1-2-3 gears, and more economic in 6th, for approx 700 Eur its a very good upgrade. But, this swap seems to be very costly and complex compared with the manual 6. By the way i can imagin this swap for a tuned automatic 30d, to replace the crap GM gearbox.
It's really good swap indeed. I really liked that on my e39. Prolly best bang for buck transmission upgrade there is. The 8HP swap is indeed much more costly. But I wanted to try it anyways. I also went ahead and bought 8HP for my X5 to replace the GM slushbox in that 😁
Domiworks is selling one, but it's quite expensive: www.domi-works.com/collections/8hp-adapter-kits/products/bmw-m5x-s5x-8hp45-n55-starter-motor-spacer But the guy who I got mine at ms4x.net discord server, is making new even cheaper batch. So those should be available soon.
In theory the F10 dust cover would have worked. But you can easily check the holes to be grind with m5x one. And the n55 starter would also need adapter, because it also bolts to block and not to the trans
Edit: just had a look at some m5x blocks and i see the starter mounts straight to the gearbox. I do see some lighter spots on the block do you need to grind of something?
@@JorisV1983 No grinding needed on the block side. The starter adapter fits bolt-on. Only the few top holes on the trans need to be widened as shown on the video.
Ei mulla tahdo olla aikaa tehdä muille, kun hädin tuskin kerkeän näitä omia projekteja tekemään... Mut on tässä alustavasti sovittuna ainakin yksi 8HP swappi ens talvelle.
Joo aivan hintasekseen käypäsiä vehkeitä. Eihän noita mihinkään milkkariin tms. voi verrata, mut hintaakin on se kolmasosa niiden hinnoista 😄 Et voin kyllä suositella tämmöseen harrastekäyttöön.
@@pazi88 Missed that but I did figure it was temporary, however always wondered if this was genuinely a restriction. Well for 300hp it probably is but you see people swapping stock b25 or b28 in a 320i and worry about the single pipe and always wondered if it was valid concern.
The e30 and e34 have their own transfer cases that don't fit any 8HP trans, without really special adapters. Though e46 transfercase might fit and because it's still mechanical one, it might work in e30 too. Speeduino isn't very good fit for 8HP, because it's missing DBW and torque modeling.
@@MrJamesshipman Well better is quite vague thing, so it depends who you ask 😅 But yeah it's really good. I know it would be great, but it has been even better than I expected. Totally transformed the car and it's faster than it has ever been.
@@pazi88 that was the experience with my E46. Also using cantcu. The amount of drive loss from the old transmissions is so much more noticeable when you go to the 8hp. And you can add a clutch pedal if you want the manual driving experience.
@CharlesExtrom what engine are you adapting or sorry? What engine do you have in your E46? If you get the n20 transmission, it is a direct Bolton to the E46. It's the exact same length size, just about everything. And even the drive shafts match up perfectly. You need a 6 HP. Z4 transmission cross member. I use the n54 8 bolt Flex plate. And the n55 torque converter. I have to look up the part number on the flex plate bolts because the original Factory bolts do not work at all.
Mitä ite oo 8hp ajanu muutamalla eri merkillä niin kyl se silti on se zf 5 tai 6 vaihteinen manuaali huviautoon kivempi, nopeammaksihan tuolla saa kun on pykäliä enempi niin saa pidettyä kierrokset kokoajan sillä parhaalla alueella mikä on polttomoottorissa tosi kapea alue
I hope these don't get expensive as fuck as 2jz 1jz did, they used to sell the whole car with a 1jz motor in it with 500 bucks. now the block alone is 5000 😂. i wish there was some tcu that could control fwd dual clutches
Depends on your use. If it's more street the cantcu is a great set up. If you want to retain your clutch pedal and have clutch kicks and use trans brake for launches the Lamik is the only option for that. Both are excellent products though and work very well out the box.
I don't see the point if having clutch pedal in automatic. Why not just stay manual then 😅 I didn't say I miss the clutch. I meant that I don't like automatics because those have been really shit to drive over the years. Untill 8HP came out.
@@pazi88 OK, yep.. Fair enough. I've done the same swap a year ago with the 8HP90 to 2J in a E36 and the only thing I miss about the manual is the H patter nostalgia! 8HP holds more power shifts faster, and I have a combo of Auto, Sequential and paddle shifter, will never go back to manual! Plus Clutch by wire is super fun for doing powerskids, yes I'm Aussie lol
@@BUZDRIFT I still have my E30 turbo with manual and it will stay like that 😄 Manual is way more fun, especially on overly powerful car like that. But this will be more like Time Attack car, so fast shifting auto should work great, and no need for clutch in that.
Noh. Talvella kylmä siinä ja kesällä kuuma ja hyttysiä 😅 Mut tuolla sisällä ei riitä korkeus katossa, niin nosturi on sit hallin puolella mitä ei oo eristetty mitenkään.
@@pazi88 thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Ugh cars are so overwhelming for the overthinker! I’m starting to lean in the side of keeping my E30 with the m20 turbo and eventually building a forged m20 as initially intended But this 8hp is very amazing. I’m considering finding an iron block m52b28 E39 and going the turbo route with a 8hp haha…..it’s just you only live once and BMW is very hard to move on from 😆

It's the exact same length size, just about everything. And even the drive shafts match up perfectly.
You need a 6 HP. Z4 transmission cross member.
I use the n54 8 bolt Flex plate.
And the n55 torque converter.
I have to look up the part number on the flex plate bolts because the original Factory bolts do not work at all.
@CharlesExtrom I was going to make a entire like, E46 fanatics, post about everything I haven't done it yet, though.
Mitä ite oo 8hp ajanu muutamalla eri merkillä niin kyl se silti on se zf 5 tai 6 vaihteinen manuaali huviautoon kivempi, nopeammaksihan tuolla saa kun on pykäliä enempi niin saa pidettyä kierrokset kokoajan sillä parhaalla alueella mikä on polttomoottorissa tosi kapea alue
Joo ihan samaa mieltä oon. E30:ssä kyllä pysyy manuaali edelleenkin.
MaxxEcu supports 8hp. Cheapes one is like 466€.
Would you recommend a 8hp45 on a 500hp turbo m50 ?
Yeah. It just be just about enough for that. Higher power level and you probaply want to go with 8hp70
@@pazi88 from which car 8hp70 will fit to m50?
I hope these don't get expensive as fuck as 2jz 1jz did, they used to sell the whole car with a 1jz motor in it with 500 bucks. now the block alone is 5000 😂. i wish there was some tcu that could control fwd dual clutches
would the mosfet STP80NF03L
be able to replace STP75NS04Z on the m50pnp? if not is there a good alternative? thanks
No. STP62NS04Z can be used as replacement. At least for now.
Wby cantcu, ot turbolamik?
Depends on your use. If it's more street the cantcu is a great set up. If you want to retain your clutch pedal and have clutch kicks and use trans brake for launches the Lamik is the only option for that.
Both are excellent products though and work very well out the box.
@@turbowankel1264i currenty working very similar setup (b28tu, ms43, 8hp45 and turbolamik tcu on my e46) and im very exited how its gonna work. ;)
The CAN TCU is not for your swap, should have bought the Turbolamik If you miss the clutch that is!??
I don't see the point if having clutch pedal in automatic. Why not just stay manual then 😅 I didn't say I miss the clutch. I meant that I don't like automatics because those have been really shit to drive over the years. Untill 8HP came out.
@@pazi88 OK, yep.. Fair enough. I've done the same swap a year ago with the 8HP90 to 2J in a E36 and the only thing I miss about the manual is the H patter nostalgia! 8HP holds more power shifts faster, and I have a combo of Auto, Sequential and paddle shifter, will never go back to manual! Plus Clutch by wire is super fun for doing powerskids, yes I'm Aussie lol
@@BUZDRIFT I still have my E30 turbo with manual and it will stay like that 😄 Manual is way more fun, especially on overly powerful car like that. But this will be more like Time Attack car, so fast shifting auto should work great, and no need for clutch in that.
Hahahaha so true about Autodoc videos
Suomalainen rallienglanti on näköjää vielä hauskemman kuulosta ku laittaa toistonoppeuden -05x 😂
😂
On muuten varmaan kesällä makija tuo ulkonosturi
Noh. Talvella kylmä siinä ja kesällä kuuma ja hyttysiä 😅 Mut tuolla sisällä ei riitä korkeus katossa, niin nosturi on sit hallin puolella mitä ei oo eristetty mitenkään.
sorry about your upcoming left leg amputation? lol
Luckily my e30 gives my twice the clutch leg workout 😁
Mielenkiintonen rojekti kyllä
Auto>manual
What about with M20b25 pazi? On megasquirt 2?
I also have option to go Fueltech Ecu for cheap
MS2 isn't supported, but the MS3 and Fueltech are on experimental phase for the CANTCU.
@@pazi88 thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
Ugh cars are so overwhelming for the overthinker!
I’m starting to lean in the side of keeping my E30 with the m20 turbo and eventually building a forged m20 as initially intended
But this 8hp is very amazing. I’m considering finding an iron block m52b28 E39 and going the turbo route with a 8hp haha…..it’s just you only live once and BMW is very hard to move on from 😆
