What kind of money does itt ake to make some numbers with a 2jz? I'm genuinly curious, I really have no idea, enver liked toyota anything personally, so, ya know, never cared to research. Can somebody give me a few ballpark figures, like, a few minor bolt-ons with a price, turbo with a price, and maybe crazy turbo with a price?

Just so you guys know, thats not an engine that EVER came in any M3. That engine is from an M5. Vidar Strand uses that engine because it's basically the most bulletproof engine BMW has ever built in recent years that insane power can be built from.

As for the engine dyno thing, idk, it was somethign I read about his eninges. I never meant to say that it was the absolute all-mighty most powerful engine ever, i just meant that not many people put an engine on an engine dyno, and get the true, exact output of the engine for proof. This is the most powerful engine he's built yet from the S38 family, I believe, and I think he's going to keep pushing the envelope. Only problem I forsee is hi running out of engines to build, lmfao. The S38 is slightly rare. there were about 1000 put into the M1 in 1979-1980, somewhere around there, then roughly 3k in the E28 M5, then not sure about the E34 M5.
