So this thread will track the continued modification of my LS swapped E39.
Here's the original thread: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...arting-my-swap
It will be locked, so post any questions, comments or recommendations in this thread.
No progress on the car lately, got a new toy and have sadly been neglecting my car.
I did however add a small badge to the car today.
Hopefully I'll add pics of stereo progress and later FI.
Nice scooter

I am more interested to see what you do with the pedal car.
So I think I've got a sticky thermostat, replacing it with a 180* stat, might even order a bigger radiator just for extra peace of mind.
Nice!!!!

Damn, and I thought the box my Pioneer 15's was heavy....junk in the trunk mang...
Anxious to see how it fits and will probably order one shortly after you gets yours installed.
I can't wait either, 3 weeks never seems so long. Hopefully it will fit like a glove, it's very close to the same dimensions as stock.
Ordered a fan controller, I think my heat cycle problem is part radiator, part fan off temp. My fans turn off at 201-199, my thermostat is a 186* I believe, maybe it's 192*. So my thermostat isn't closing, not allowing my radiator to do its job.
I would just have the ECU fan temps adjusted by my tuner, BUT from my research the program/flash on the GMPP controller is proprietary and this feature for some reason is disabled.
I could have it flashed with a production tune but this is expensive and time consuming.
That was the same thing I was told. The temp for the fan to cut on/off cannot be altered.
Thanks! I like it so far, looks cool and its easy to tell when your system is bled properly.
Love the killer glass setup as I wanted to do this on my 2jz swap!!!!! That radiator is a monster and I see your fan shroud still fits

Do you happen to have a part number or application for that radiator? I looked on their website but didn't quite see any that had that same fitting/hose configuration.
Thanks,

What hose were you originally using?Been looking for some part numbers for the upper and lower hoses in a few threads but no one has mentioned them.
Thanks.
