6hp26 into l322 td6

[justinc]

Was working on a m57 td6 in a 2003 E53 X5 today. IT HAS A 6HP26 behind it!.

Soooo it can be attached. The transfer even looks the same.

Possibilities???

How was it to drive compared to the L322 td6?

[justinc]

Peter it is just as nice as a tdv6 d3 in that the trans program spends more time in lockup instead of hunting around like the 5l40e. Certainly would be a great upgrade if it could be done electronically. And we coukd run 3.6v8 diesel torque numbers through it too...😎

....but i don't like the car though. The rangie ahares lots with the x5 but is a far far superior driving experience.

I'm not sure about the facelift td6/Jag 4.4, but I thought the early L322 had the same or similar electronics as the same era X5.

A 6hp26 in a facelift td6 L322 with a remap and alpine big screen entertainment system would be a gem.

You out there Mr Muppet??

Was he shoehorning a td6/6hp26 into the D2?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

I think the BMW version,,
all secret squirrel stuff at the moment,, :D

Anyone want to have a spare td6 engine?

Id love to nab the gearbox out of this, but im afraid the miss's would kill me if i bought another whole car home. Anyone keen to go parts in this one? I only want one bit :P its most likely going cheap

see if i can get a 6hp conversion done haha

[Disco Muppet]

I'd go parts with you but I want the same bit :D
I'm looking at using the M57/ZF combination in my D2 yes.
If it's of assistance, can't remember the name off the top of my head but if you find Sheldons thread about 6l90e Isuzu adapters he and I briefly mention an aftermarket tcm controller that claims to allow full electronic integration with the host.

there are a few stand alone computers out there for the 6l80's and the zf 6hp. full can bus integration though? hmm hopeful i think.
why not use a manual box for the D2? (I know i prefer autos) but you are not limited as much as we are. there are adapters for the m57 to the y61 patrol box from europe

[Disco Muppet]

Patrol box won't fit a d2 without cutting the floor plus I like autos :D
Plus the zf bolts right up to the m57, and then all I need is a throttle input for the tcm and a software adjustment and it should work fine.
The tcm controller I plan on using is used in high end swaps like Aston Martins without any loss of function so it should be okay

The X5 runs a different TC - the NV125, not the NV225 the RR runs - it's only a single speed trasfer case (hence the 1 in its designation), not the 2 speed version, but the bolt pattern is the same, although I never found out if the splines were also the same - someone of the FFRR forum said they may be different, but never had that varified.

I did a bit of research on all of this when I was looking at putting the 6 speed manual box from an X5 into the Rangie.

[Disco Muppet]

Only issue with the X5 manual box is while the box itself can be built to happily laugh at 1000Nm, the weakness is then moved into the DMF and clutch, and as with most boxes it seems, you can only go so large a clutch with a dmf, tough clutches generally go into solid mass flywheels. A quick search of any bmw forum reveals that 9/10 people aren't happy with the SMF, complaining of harshness and vibrations. Not what I'd want with an RR. So unless you want to cap yourself at 580Nm (i mean why even bother :D ) you start to run into 'knock on' issues.

It's all a moot point for me now anyway. If an easiy she auto conversion can be sorted, that sorts 99% of these vehicles issues out. :)
