i used 2 think that its crap!! but then again, i started 2 think again recently, n thought that it isnt such a bad idea.. less maintenance, better fc n improved power.. n if u go 4 the jz or rb series engines, u still get the straight 6 gudness!!

always contemplatin of gettin an e34 (my fav bmw shape) in the future, n puttin in a 1jz in it, the newer version wit single turbo n vvti..

how about the electronics? all working?
thats y this type of moddin is suitable 4 older bimmers, where theres not that much electronics.. becoz obviously, it'll stop workin.. ive seen an e34 modded wit a 1jz, even the fuel consumption readin gauge under the rev counter doesnt work anymore..

thats wat ive always heard from people who have done it.. better fc, better reliability, n much much better performance..

i used 2 think that y would anybody wanna do it?? 2 me, its like messin wit perfection, ruining the bimmer's purity.. but then now, it makes so much sense.. always been toying wit the idea of an e34 (my fav bmw shape ever) + 1jz vvti (not the twin turbo one, the later version)..

@CooShyRee

i agree with u. i hv the same thought like u b4. just go 4 it. vvti is much more better and less kacau than non vvti. non vvti twin turbo, the rear turbo always spoil. and vvti is beter fc and pickup. my land cruiser still in workshop, swap 1jz vvti. it looks really great. i'll upload pic in few weeks time. =D
ok.. do upload the pics asap rclxm9.gif thnx dude..

really?? the twin turbo is more problematic?? well, i heard differently.. reliability's bout the same, but they say that more people prefer the twin turbo becoz its cheaper 2 buy n spares r more easily available than the vvti.. well, thats wat i heard.. i dont know which is true..
