BMW M57 to TOYOTA 3.0L V6 (3VZ-E) Transmission Adapter Kit

This adapter kit allows you to replace your Toyota 3.0L (3VZ-E) engine with a BMW M57 turbo diesel engine (North American Models, 2.5L and 3.0L). 

We supply you with everything needed to bolt your transmission to a BMW M57 diesel engine.

Automatic and manual transmissions work with our kits, unless otherwise stated. Please specify above what transmission type you plan to use.

***NOW AVAILABLE WITH OEM STYLE STARTER MOTORS. All our new kits have been modified to fit a Toyota 4.7 V8 starter motor. This is a Denso style starter motor, high torque, 2 kW power rating, affordable and readily available!***

***If you are using a R150/R151 transmission, the 3.0L and 3.4L transmissions have different length input shafts. Therefore you can only use a 3.4L bellhousing on a R150/R151 series trans box from a 3.4L. Same goes for the 3.0L, you can only use a 3.0L bellhousing on a R150/R151 series trans box from a 3.0L. You can not mix and match bellhousings. This is not an issue for most people, just something to be aware of if you buy your bellhousing and trans box separately.***

PRODUCT FEATURES

Our kit has numerous features that set us apart from the competition.

PREMIUM BILLET ALLUMINUM ADAPTER PLATES. We do not skimp on quality, and only use high quality 6061 Aluminum billets. Our tempered 6061 is far superior to the cheap cast non-tempered aluminum adapter plates typically seen with cheaper adapter kits. Our billets undergo a tempering process of heat treating and artificial aging to achieve the perfect strength and toughness for our application.

EXTRA FIRE WALL CLEARANCE. Our 2.3 inch thick adapter moves the M57 engine forward 2.3 inches from the transmission bellhousing. This gives you extra fire wall clearance to the head and makes it easier to remove the intake. The transmission remains in the original position, keeping the shifter in the factory position for most vehicle conversions.

HIGH PERFORMANCE CRANK ADAPTER: Our high-performance crank adapters are manufactured from high-strength alloy steel and designed to handle demanding applications. Rated at 800 ft-lbs of torque, these adapters are engineered to deliver the strength and reliability your drivetrain needs.

Crank adapters are subjected to significant stress and repeated load cycles, making material selection and design critical to long-term durability. Unlike aluminum or mild steel alternatives, our alloy steel crank adapters are built with performance and reliability in mind.

We believe your crank adapter should never be the weak link in your drivetrain.

2.0kW HIGH TORQUE STARTER MOTORS.  Our kits now come with a Toyota 4.7 V8 Denso style starter motor is now our go to starter motor for all our TDI and M57 kits. It has an OEM proven track record, compact design, and best of all it is readily available and very affordable to replace!

MULTIPLE ENGINE CLOCKING POSITIONS. Our 2 plate system allows the engine to be clocked at 10° or 20° (factory angle) for fine tuning engine clearances. The transmission stays stationary while the engine rotates towards the passenger frame rail.
