BMW 1 Series LS V8 Swap by Brintech - Part 1

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Our 120i hatch shop car has been a reliable and fun little 4 cyl 6 speed manual combo. But, in this 2 part build series, we take it off the road, strip it out and install a 6L LS V8 engine, demonstrating our swap kit and how you can build one yourself.

Please email or call to discuss this particular build and for all details on how you can do this swap so that you can get a road registered, engineered, custom built sports car.

    I think the hatch is an un-tapped gem. Front engine rear wheel drive practical and nimble. The V8 makes it quite special

    I'm very glad I came across this video. I have a 120i with relatively low mileage with a nice set of BMW X5 rims on and sent it in to sort out oil leaks and the estimate was a third of the price that a normal LS swop would cost, so I was hoping it was possible to do it to this car. I'd rather spend money this way!

    Question for anyone…what I never understand about LS swaps for late model cars is when you unplug the original engine wiring what do you do with those wires? Do you pull them out at the BMW computer or leave them and hide them? If pulling out how do you know what to take out. Anyways that’s my biggest source of uncertainty when considering a project like this

    my friends i have a few questions i have a bmw 1 serie 120i petrol year 2006 e87 model 150hp i only replaced the engine two months ago. there is now 2 tons on the engine. just drive really nice. now the engine is built into it. only brand oil consumption. The mechanic told me that the wrong oil was used by my mechanic. and that now the valve spools and staples are replaced. First question is, I really like my car to drive. The only downside is that my valve stem needs to be replaced. because it consumes a lot of oil. need to top up oil every week. and also consumes quite a lot of gasoline, he is not the most economical, that may have to do with oil consumption. that it is not economical. I have seen your video. it motivated me a lot. because my 1 series is a really nice car. he has all options. only it doesn't have a turbo. so I can't get chipped. should be another reason. to make my car faster. Or do I have to change my engine as well? just like you in the video. after I've watched your video, I'm now thinking of putting a BMW 535i or 540i engine in it, is that possible what would something like that cost.? I know there are a lot of things that need to change about the car. but if you are a fan you should talk about it I think. I would like advice on what is the best thing to do. Also what is the proce for building 535i 540i motor in e87 2006 benzine whats the price mine frend.
