    I did swap a bigger BMW engine into a small BMW engine, with automatic trans and full luxury function.
    The most stressful is the wiring. It cost me 6 months to do the swap and 4 months for the wiring. So, Yes, please buy the wiring harness if possible

    Your comment about trying to do your own wiring for the swap, staring at wiring diagrams until you go out and buy a wiring harness that you should have bought in the first place, was so funny. 🤣. I couldn't stop laughing. I've been there before, though not with wiring harnesses, but with other DIY projects. 🤣🤣🤣 Too funny.

Might put a civic engine (if possible) because it will make maintenance easier to have something so common on the inside.

    Great video man but you forgot some things. Tools cost money and you need to know how to use the tools. Not being able to use the tools appropiately can cause some serious harm to your car or yourself. Also a lot of the work that goes into these kind of projects are two man jobs so you'll need at least one buddy to help you out.

  • @lukabilic6081
    @lukabilic6081 Před 9 dny

    When warranty expires I wish to swap my mild hybrid diesel Jaguar XE engine with petrol charged hybrid from F-pace.
    Judging by the vehicle schematics available out there this will probably turn into pushing the F-pace engine and parts of its drive train along with its mother ECU, and much of the interior into the XE chasis and exterior.
    That resolves the issues of finding the right electronics, sensors, parts etc.
    And creates an issue of "how the hell to I put that in that space without breaking it or causing some other troubles".
    Oh... and I should quote you MZopyrus :)
    "It is financially dumb idea!"
    And most likely I will get 0 support from JLR and in the 500 km radius I doubt there are any skilled mechanics willing to meddle with the British engines/cars in such manner.
    I was also thinking of placing an old V6 AJ123 engine from F-type or XE-S models. But who knows what will happen. Getting that engine and rebuilding it and then doing a swap... Yes. ('-.- )
    In the end, looking at the costs of the engine, the amount of mechanical work and time... I could just go and buy a new car with desired HP and MPG.
    Staying rational cannot take away my dreams

    Okey big idea on the table. E30 M52B28 swap but make it reliable and traffic friendly. The whole thing is putting an overpowered unrealiable engine on a conservitive tune so it doesn't explode every 40k km and also allow for it to be driven on public road.
