I absolutely love when Brian comes over haha. "Did a compression test.... Didn't go so well" just the way he says it is jokes. Sorry for the hurt motor though, always sucks when stuff craps the bed.
For what its worth, I suggest checking cyl 6 piston to make sure the top ring groove is not pinched closed and the top ring is still free. The piston material is hot while running especially with boost and where the valve damaged the piston is on top of the ring groove. If the ring groove is closed and pinching the top ring you will have low compression and the motor will smoke & breathe
JIMMY!!! Please do a build of a 5.3 or 6.0. Im assuming youd go aluminum block because of the weight but it would still be dramatically cheaper than an actual ls and can make big power. Ive also seen some very reliable turbo charged 4.8 liters. The benefit of the 4.8 is shorter stroke which means they handle high rpm better
Perfect upload time, currently waiting by the terminal so I can head to Sydney for the first time. Anyone know where the sick cars out there are? I’m looking to get some footage this trip.
You guys should build a multi engine stand. You don't have many different engines so it wouldn't be to hard to fab up a stand that will have adjustable engine mounts and a tail end to hold the transmission. You would be able to roll it around, and also it you set up it with wiring you could test run them before install
I’m like 90% sure I’ve seen you in shorts (well shants if those count) way back in the old Adam LZ bmx videos. Because that’s how long I’ve been watching both of you on RUclips.
Also it's not surprising it dropped a valve since you are revving the s50 stock head to 8k rpm. Theres a reason why every aftermarket tune for the m5x family only rev the motor to 7k.
@@JimmyOakes You keeping the S50 in there? A NV head might be tricky to find bigger cams for. I’d just keep vanos and run a 264 and 256 cam with all the other fun stuff. I believe if you go bigger with the cams you have to shim the vanos to limit it.
@@michaelpriebe332 You can also with a S50 crank since it’s also forged, But that’s the limit I’ve seen personally. S52 can’t the piston speed it would see at 8k would be ridiculous.
Go LS Adams got a fully built stroker motor and doesn’t like the regular 3.0 and a full team to keep it going. get a crate 525hp 6.2 and put a blower on it
my question is, can you clock the vanos to the cam to where it will work for a turbo engine? im sure you could ( depending on the spline interface like if it is keyed) id say its worth a research. why deck the head and block ? you didnt overheat it, it wasnt leaking .. no need to. just make sure piston doesnt have sharp edges that could promote detonation/hot spot
go to Lowe's and get some rubber pipe caps in the sizes of your radiator outlets and water pumps. Any time you pull a rad or engine pop it on and you'll never dump coolant on your floor again!
Need some 272 schrick non-vanos cams. Use the front engine covers from a 1991 thru 1992 non-vanos M50s. Factory Non-vanos M50 cam gears are adjustable.
A barra would be badass! Its like a 3JZ from Aussie 4L 6cyl and they make a buttload of torque, would snap necks too as theyre understated but rev and sound like a big JZ
Careful reusing that piston. Make sure it's polished smooth. Any imperfections risk hotspots and detonation on that area. We know how that ends with boosted engines. Looking good tho. I learned all the vanos heads are the same? Thanks for the heads up (That pun wasn't intended, but it I like it. It has a Steve vibe)🤣🤣
Excited to see the 2J in so you have it ripping for real this time James. Now its time to change what should've been done from the beginning, so order the parts, do it justice and don't just throw it in there...
Ls swap it 6.2 n twin turbo do the jimmy “O” engine bay fitment n rear mounted radiator make room for inner cooler upgrade the rack put a nice steering pump on the LS be easy as chop the front end off spoon will tube it more race car more room for suspension improvements bigger tires tub, the rear end for bigger tires move rear shock inward with cantilever suspension be a sick build
I remember a friends mini had a 1330 bottom end with a stage 4 rally spec head back in 2000 and that dropped a valve and went through the piston as it was at 7k rpm and the standard engine was redlined at 6k, but no limiter and even mine would rev to 6500 and his had a hotter cam.
Put the s50 from the E36 in your E46 shell you got for your big comp car along with your coupe and put a V8 in your E36 to be different and be like Brian
random idea future project maybe, but I would love to see you throw one of those RRD itb kits on ya ma's Z3!!! been wanting to do it and know the process lol thought u already have the chassis plant the seed and wait :) haha go jz on the ol e36!!! u know the recipe so well plus need the turbo sounds man... its too nice with it
I think v8 is the move, doesn’t take much to make power, you would finally make Derek happy 😂 but the accessibility to parts alone is what has always drawn me to ls
Why change engine? A M50 with cast iron block is the best :) Buy a crank from a m52b28 and 135mm rods and good pistons you can easy have 600-800 whp :D
Hey jimbo, I've got a 2000 bmw 328ci auto coupe for sale for $1,000 in central kentucky. Ran and drove 2 years ago when I parked it because the differential bushings completely ripped out, alternator failed and the check engine light came on because of fried o2 sensors.

Unsure if the bars were a joke or you were serious, but this thing dropped in the E30 would actually be insane! A build we would all love to see 😍
S50 turbo the e30 when she gives up 🫶🏼
E30 should stay n/a imo
Good way to ruin the e30
I think a rotary would fit nicely though 😆
Idk the e30 is so perfect already the way it is
I am a simple man I see a jimmyO video and I watch it. lol Hope to drift with you again soon!

Looks like you got really lucky! I would definitely pull number 6 piston and make sure the top ring gland isn't pinching the top ring...
Came to the comments to say the exact same thing 🤙🏼
The piston that hit the valve is absolutely fine, coming from someone who has had a couple turbo m20/m50's steamroll valvetrains
With the boys sitting round watching, it's like Jimmy's teaching a shop class, and I'm here for it. Professor O
3.4 jz...lz has the recipe on lock with his. But a supercharged LS would bang as well
Or just standard 3.0 with a g35-900 instead of a g35-1050. That’s why adams e36 was slow compared to before. Had to big of a turbo for a 3.0
@@Nonexsisting True, but the 3.4 definitely gets done when it's not broken. Ha

Non Vanos m50's heads have dual valve springs and are typically used in higher revving m5X builds. Might be something to look into :))

Perfect upload time, currently waiting by the terminal so I can head to Sydney for the first time. Anyone know where the sick cars out there are? I’m looking to get some footage this trip.
Needs to go into the e30 for sure. Non vanos head. Have Spoon fab something up so you can still keep the ITB’s from the e30 now, but add some boost. 😍

I was waiting for Austin to add in the "hello I am under the water" meme when the coolant was pouring out 😂
You should make sure the dome isn’t squeezing the top ring down and it still spins freely
The beating around the bush in this video about him probably putting an LS in the E36 is hilarious, love it😂😂❤️
I'd check rod bearing for cyl 6, that shock couldn't have been good for it
I like the informative parts when you were dissembling the motor it was insightful .thanks 👊🏾
Jimmy, you've been stating you don't care for having the LS in the red 300Z. Use that LS in the BMW and put the S50 in the Z.
AlienEngineering has adjustable cam blocks you can use to fix your mid range power loss if you decide to keep this motor.
Austin zooming in on the 86 KILLED me🤣🤣🤣
Also it's not surprising it dropped a valve since you are revving the s50 stock head to 8k rpm. Theres a reason why every aftermarket tune for the m5x family only rev the motor to 7k.

I have a budget built m50, bottom end is stroaked to a 2.8L and a 2.5L head. all m52 internals. It’s perfect for boost. Non vanos is the move
That BMW engine would be rad in the OG Red Z. Would be a cool way to bring new light to the Z. Then use the LS for the E36 with some boost.
I was thinking put it into Nissonda and call it the JDMw civic
Jim looked at home drifting the loaner ls bmw. I wish for Jim to go down that route.
Ls is probably the smarter choice (with how abundant they are and the insane aftermarket) but I can't help but feel that the E36 deserves the |6
Nah jimmy pouring coolant on his floor like “this was a bad idea” fucking killing me 😭😭💀

You sanding the piston makes me happy
Do upgraded double springs, single springs on vanos m50/52 s50 are very soft, it is risky to spin it over 6500 rpm
