EFR6258 vs stock rods, round 1: DATSUN wins
#562
However, I would usher you to a 2JZ if you don't like . Cheap to be had, LOTS of aftermarket. Bottom end for 700 WHP (on stock rods/pistons). Throw a Getrag from a BMW, a R200 rear diff/subframe swap and you are rocking! That's a week or so (8 hour work days) to bolt it all in by yourself. Less with some beer.....
Just never been a fan of the old Bimmer engines (VANOS, sound, head lifting, etc). But that is just personal opinion.....and they are like ******** .
Sorry for the rant. I am a Nissan guy through and through

It may suck comparatively, but it's a strong long-lived motor that isn't anywhere in the same galaxy as BP suckiness. If he's strapping a snail to it, it'll make more power than that old crappy chassis will handle, without being opened.
That all said, i wouldn't swap this thing at all, but it's not my car.

Hopefully their quality of copying other peoples designs has improved. I had one of their panhard bars on my AE86 years ago and its seized on me when the aluminum spacers crushed at the recommend torque.
