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

MADE-TO-ORDER. CURRENT LEAD TIME IS 10-12 WEEKS

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 nitride case hardened alloy steel crank adapters are designed for high performance applications. Rated at 800 ft-lbs of torque, we set the bar high and make sure our parts are not the limiting factor in your build. Nitriding is a low temp, low distortion heat treating process that significantly improves fatigue strength of the metal. Crank adapters undergo significant stress cycles, making them a critical failure point. This is not where you want to cut corners on quality materials or design. Shockingly, our competitor's kits only offer aluminum or untreated steel crank adapters. Is it cheap and dirty, does it make the wheels turn at the end of the day, sure! Are they engineered to be the best? Not a chance!

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.
