I've been to E-shift before...and they're throwing 2JZ's into everything. Their swaps are SO CLEAN it's amazing!! They had a 4-door E36 with a 2JZ swap that looked completely factory! There was another E39 there getting a swap too.

 

Ryan, yeah, bro shoot me a text, I will give you the details.

Thanks, LH. Appreciate the love brotha!

Nope. The 6765 is supposed to spool up really quickly. In fact, when it is all said and done we will probably be maxing it out.

Depends on how crazy you want to get with it. I believe they can do standard single turbo swaps making ~500-550whp for $12k or so (price is after you sell your s62/transmission).
Hahaha..LH nicknamed the car, and it has stuck. Sorry, man!

Awesome, man, thanks much for sharing! That stock looking e36 4 door that you saw made 540whp. Talking about sleeper. lol They really are a great bunch of guys who are passionate about what they are doing. Can't wait for them to finish my car!

 

As a big fan of the 2JZ and the E39, putting them together sounds like a sweet treat. Please keep us informed.

 

Best engine on one of the best chassis? What is there to hate?

 

any updates???

 

I will always love the E39 and 2JZ. What a great combo. I need a white E39 M5. :-)

 

I would love to see a old m5 s38 motor with a huge single in it.

 

Mike sent over some pictures of a motor/trans installed for mocking up the engine mounts.

 

Just received this pictures from Mike. We are getting closer!!

 

A few more

 

why not just go with a regular 528 to save some money if you were going to pull motor and trans anyway

 

Was thinking of the same thing. But I don't think 528 comes in blue water M paint.

Anyone know where I can get a nice 2002 or 2003 E39 M5? I prefer Lemans blue over black and sports trim.

 

Tuning and Dyno time! Thanks to Justin Nenni from Tuning Concepts for trickling 585whp on pump gas and 762whp on e85 out of this car. Here are a couple of vids from during the session.

Also, a lot of people have expressed their disapproval of doing this swap with an M5. I bought a modded M5 and was able to part of the mods and motor and transmission and have basically no cost left into the car. Plus, I then have the M interior, suspension, diff, etc without having to pay out of pocket to add those to a base model 5 series. To me, it really is a no brainer to use the M5 for this type of swap, especially with the current state of resale prices.

 

i do not dissaprove, i approve !!! that thing screams !!! well done , i cant wait to see some street vids, pulls.

 

I am salivating over this build. Gonna be a hell of a ride once it is complete. I support this 100%. Nothing to hate here unless people are just jealous. Thanks for the updates and vid's.
