Once you are done can you setup an assembly line to pump out clones?

Where in Atlanta are you? I would love to come by and take a look at this wild project!

You can shoot me a PM...

north of $50K I guess, it's actually easier(read: cheaper) to base the project on S38B36/38...there are couple of them in Sweden running insane power

I can't wait to see it done and in action but come on its not an M5 is it? It may as well be a diesel there's nothing left of it! Not to try and put a downer on it just saying its not an M5 no more. Its gonna be f@ckin insane tho for sure!

You are a sick man, and we love sick men around here!!

I would love a set of fender flares like that, could get some serious rubber on the rears!

If you had to do the 2jz conversion from scratch, I am not sure building the S62 wouldn't be in the same ballpark. With the advent of RK and sleeving the block, there is some serious hp potential, although I don't know you can get to 1000 for similar money with a full 2jz swap.

Of course, it would be supercharged, not turbocharged, unless Raza has some free time on his hands.

2JZ is proven, plentiful, and huge aftermarket support...not a BMW power plant I know but similar 3L straight six design, just a WHOLE lot beefier block!

Can't wait for some videos of 60-150 mph pulls.
You seriously think 1000 HP will be trackable?

Road Course duty will require the boost to be turned down and most likely run in the 600-700WHP range for reliability and control. Motor and fuel system are built for 1300+WHP and only require a turbo and tuning change to hit those levels.
