                              the m30 is such a big pig would like to keep the weight down and a smaller 6 is the best bet its either boost a smaller newer bmw straight 6 or getting a 1jz-gte

                                    the m30 is such a big pig would like to keep the weight down and a smaller 6 is the best bet its either boost a smaller newer bmw straight 6 or getting a 1jz-gte

                                    Please don't get a 1jz. Stock m52's and e85 with big turbo and you can make plenty power for anyone. SOOOO cheap. Not worth the extra cost of the 1j for the same shit.
