the hard part is understanding david lamik speak english lol. Bless his soul for being willing and having the same passion as us. Theres one thing that andrew hasnt gone over yet in detail, and that the n57 converter should not be used on single turbo or high hp twin applications because its designed to lockup at under 500rpm and setup for torque at low rpm. its literally 3x as heavy as an a90 converter, and thats with the a90 converter having billet internals. the a90 and the bmw 340i/440i/540i/ b58 converters out of the 8hp45/50 is the one that you want. it requires 4.5mm washers instead of 2.5mm when you have to weld them to the converter plate. both the lamik and the domiworks adapters are 17mm thick, so this data runs true across all 8hp/n54 adapter setups. if you use n57 converter, 2.5mm washers, any b58 converter sits 2mm deeper into the bell housing so add 2mm to that original 2.5mm and youre spot on the money. the crazy part is if you put the a90 converter next to the n57 converter, its 15mm or so shorter than the n57 converter and on paper it looked like a custom 15mm spacer was needed, it turns out they changed the snout of the converter just slightly and recessed the spline grooves between the first and second generation 8hp converters! somehow despite being 15mm shorter, it only requires an extra 2mm of spacing!!!!!! thanks to andrew for the data, i was able to compare all of it with mine and now we have all the data ever needed for this swap! , andrew did the lords work and documented it. My garage looks like an n54 junk yard and i would be to embarassed to show it off lmao.

Thanks for the kind words man! We will get there in the end.

Bang on.

Legend!

Check the g chat! Charles found something very interesting just befoee

@@ZeroTo60Tube will do, sorry I have been off looking after family in Dalby. Cheers mate

Well i know a guy who did rod bearings and managed to have an issue after about 30 mins of running. I know the ACL bed in on first crank, but it still made me nervous.

Yeah i did the proper fill but didnt get it up in to all the gears, so i was wondering if it was a little low. However after this drive i checked it again and its actually ok.

Gotta be the settings then.

Thanks a ton!

I agree with that, i may wind the idle up. I also have cold start turned off which makes it worse.

@@ZeroTo60Tube you’ve done a great job, if anything bad was going to happen, that time has passed by now. Just be sure to always let that oil come up to temp to not smoke those brand new bearings. Rings will seat as more heat cycles are preformed normally. wish nothing but the best of luck👍

Shouldn't really be any different for the N52 so there'd be no reason to do that

Thanks 👍 The thing still makes me nervous, its done about 500klms now. Most at around 28-30 psi. The car is actually running on a more aggressive tune than it was when it blew up. But still, i worried i have messed something up.

Yeah, but of an annoying issue with the trans, there is something wrong.

@@ZeroTo60Tube oh no that doesn't sound good hopfully it's an easy fix for you

Generally or so i have been told, when the torque converter isnt all the way in, you break something when you do the box up. Definitely on the older ones anyway. Could be different on the 8hp as they do have a different style of oil pump

Well to be honest i have sold thousands of aftermarket oil filters and pans. This one looks the business, but hopefully there is something not right. Like maybe its fine in a smaller box, but not the 70?

@@ZeroTo60Tube Only thing I can think of is a difference between first and second gen boxes. ie 45/70 vs 50/75

I think it’s the pan. It is an aftermarket one and have been sent some reviews and people having the same problem 😩

@@ZeroTo60Tube yeah that sucks, but at least it's a relatively easy (compared to what you've just done) repair, don't sweat it. If the trans came witht he original pan, throw that back on as the control test, and all you may have lost is a bit fo fluid and time for diagnostic reasons, and you'll know soon enough.

Yeah i have checked the fluid since this video as well.... I think the pan may be the culprit.

this was amp44

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks max! We’ll get there in the end

hahaha please do!

@@ZeroTo60Tube that doesn’t sound to bad. I’ve never been to Australia, sounds like fun. Plus I get to see the cars in person. Sounds like a win win for everyone lol. Might have to price some flight out 😁

It’s programmed to start in 2nd in this kode

Mode

So the transbrake you need to be in a program mode and then hold the paddle to activate it. What you are hearing is my issue, trans slip.

Possible….. although I’d need to do some research. I think it’s been done if I remember correctly. Being an f series it’s an easy ish retrofit

I honestly can't remember. But it was from a e90 330d 6hp26 box.

@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks for the speedy reply. Last question bro! So I got the universal wiring for this swaps since I couldn’t find the 6hp->8hp wiring. Did you use the universal wiring as well ? If so how did you adjust the wiring to fit the e90 / do you have a link to that resource to share ?

@@isaiasjulio1 I would recomend watching the build series to see what i did. However i used the premade harness.

That was my first thought too. But I have checked it since. Oil level is fine.

HPR-10 or Castrol Supercar 10w60. However that doesnt mean you should use them. Its just what i like. I like thicker oil in our hot climate and a older worn engine

Yeah checked level again after filming. Still the same.

It's an empire exhaust and it's pretty rubbish. Not happy with it even tho it was quite cheap.

@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks for the honesty, I have the VRSF street exhaust currently. Happy with the sound, fitment is however shocking. Loving the builds so far mate keep up the great work!

This is testing my memory. But there may have been a wire needing to be changed in the car harness or lamik. From memory lamik sends the park signal over a specific pin in the 6hp connector. That needs to go to a specific pin in the car harness.

@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks a lot for the reply ,from the 8 people i messaged about this you were the only one that responded . You can't remenber what wire was it on the lamik and the car ?, i'm sorry to be such a pain in the a**, but no one seems to want to help me , i'm wiling to pay for your time ,if you could help me. Best regards RG.

@@rodrigogomes8755 did you figure out what you needed to do to fix this? I've got the same issue

I’m at the same point and need to figure out what pins need to be shorted together! Any luck?

Can’t do much about it…. Lol

@@ZeroTo60Tube Maybe you can break in the engine with your standard trans :p

Not if we ever want to see it finished.

@@ZeroTo60Tube It really doesn't matter all too much mate don't worry :)

I just have a spare cic controller

Empire exhaust, its not the best

Have you heard from many people using them?

@@ZeroTo60Tube UMM... NOPE

@@1993kawasaki maybe keep it that way lol

Noted!

I have wanted some since we moved in, to be fair would have only used them 3 or 4 times. And the jack is ok when you have 2 people, just did not want to roll yesterday, mind you the floor is slippery as

Sounds like a plan.

If you have the motor sitting there all clean ready to be stripped, i would allow a day, to strip and put it back together. Takes about 2 days to work out what you need to order tho.

@@ZeroTo60Tube I might go at it. Wish more people ran built motors to see reliability with these engines.

I had checked the fluid levels, twice prior to this, however had not checked them after driving. Why did you find it frustrating?

@@ZeroTo60Tube Frustrating because something was clearly wrong and I didn't want to see the next video titled, "I cooked the clutches in my 8hp now what". I was also assuming there was a mechanical issue not a software issue, from the next video it looks like I was right??
