At it again, here we are installing our Ford 8.8 swap kit into our 135i shop car! We used our 8.8 adapter brackets, SLG built differential with carbon-clutch LSD, SLG axles with billet stubs and a SLG driveshaft.
Everything you need to swap a Ford 8.8 into your 135i or 335i (E82, E90, E92 or E93) is available on our website www.seemslegitgarage.com
Our adapter brackets are the best on the market. They have perfect driveline angles, are TIG welded in the USA, zinc coated, and all axles come with a lifetime warranty!
We build parts without compromise at SLG. You can throw all the power you want at these products and they will not let you down!
We also make a similar kit for the E46, and have many other products for E36 through E9X models
These kits are awesome! Thanks for the sweet install vid!
Any shop discounts on the axles ? I feel like a clown putting 2k axles into a car i paid 3500 for
Hey Man. I planning to build my 323i and I got a 8.8. I was looking into your guys kit but I didnt know if it would still fit with my chassis. It's a 2006 BMW 323i.
Yes it will fit, you just need to swap to 330 or M3 trailing arms because they use the large axle spline we make our stubs for. Much stronger.
No anti-seize? No lock washers on the bracket hardware? Michigan and no fluid film ever? You two live dangerously! Good show making these parts! I need to adapt one of these 8.8's to my car and this is nice; seeing others resort to 'Mericuh parts because our OEMs gave us tin foil and pot metal. Now for the Strange Racing internals and a Wavetrac diff.
It was a prototype so we were just sendinnn itt haha
Hello again. What’s the torque specs for the driveshaft’s front and rear bolts and the adapter plate bolts? Thanks.
Hey, what’s the torque specs for the driveshaft bolts and adapter bolts?
Why are these Bmw shops charging me 1600 for labor installation for this bolt on diff kit that y’all installed in a 30 min video????
Were just professionals lol
Dude I hate you guys for making this kit. I literally just pulled my diff carrier last night, was about to throw my money on a Wavetrac, and BOOM I hear about this option. The Wavetrac is going to cost me 2800. Is this kit worth the extra money? Because to me it seems like it’s worth every penny.
@seemligit What can you do for us 2jzgte guys?
lots!
Just blew up my open diff with my single turbo build. thinking about just saving up for this after I throw in my new diff
What about the E89 N54 Z4?🧐
Our E46 Kit works for that
I want one so bad on my fbo 335i but it’s a little expensive ☹️
what gear ratio do i choose and does it matter?
It depends what transmission you have, we liek 3.31 for manual, 3.55 for auto and 3.08 for DCT
Thank you so much for this video! I probably wouldn't have found this product without the video, but since the adapter also works for the e92 subframe I'll be purchasing it for my Time Attack 135 build. Still a ways off, however great to know that this is the route I'll take.
Did you work with Gforce on this build?
the Ford 8.8 doesn't have 3.46 gears, looking to do an upgrade to mine but its an XI and was originally Auto. and a 3.08 front is near impossible to find. Wondering if Gforce would do a 9" conversion with me.
best bet id going to 3.08
Hey looking into this conversion for my E92 335i but it is a Xdrive I was just wondering if it’ll impact the my car differently since there’s front differential as well as a awd actuator. Will my front dif and drive shaft be able to keep up with the new and improved 8.8 LS. I’m also thinking about swapping my subframe to the M3 subframe. Thank you and much love keep up the grate work.
Did you ever figure it out?
Is it possible to just pick up the axles?
yes!
Its a cool kit, but all up costs more than my 330 did lol
I wonder if this will work for an E38 with some modification?
Video was funny and informational keep it up
Does this kit locate the pinion lower than the factory diff? The single piece driveshafts sometimes don’t have enough clearance to the underbody and will cause the knuckle to rub.
Yes. No issues with our driveshaft at all
Will this fit my 2014 535d
Soooo, what about the rest of us who dont wanna give up our e36. There are still a lot of e36's out there getting V8 swapped and or Turbo'd. When can we expect a Ford 8.8 bracket kit for the e36 8.8 lsd swap? The e90's are beginning to hit the salvage yards and they're looking good; I just dont wanna give up my e36.
the explorer doesn't really fit in the subframe so were are stuck, we don't have the man hours to do a e36 subframe. We are changing over to use super 8.8 diffs and maybe we will be able to offer this
@@SeemsLegitGarage I figured as much :( Guess its time to move on to the e90's. Anyway, SLG does a great job, thx for taking all the time put into your vid's.., always informative
Cool as hell. Is everything included in this kit to go from non-M to Ford 8.8 drive train or are there other things that need to be purchased?
It’s a complete kit , everything you need , check their website out
Will it work on 320i or 325i e90? Im planning to put 8.8 diff on an LS swap project
Need 335i knuckles
This is the kit I will buy!! Great work guys. I’ll be in touch!
Thank you! You wont be disappointed!
I’m thinking about ordering yalls kit for my e92 335i
Won’t regret it!
@@SeemsLegitGarage I’m gonna need a 8.8 in my car I plan on going single turbo and push around 750whp in the next couple months
@@Matty7x for sure will help put power to the ground without worry
@@SeemsLegitGarage I’m looking forward to putting it in my car soon and support y’all as you grow
U guys are rock stars!
