My friend here is 1,000hp on the BMW engine, nicer power band than 1,000hp supra's have. 1j/2j has a garbage transmission avail compared to any BMW M50/M54/M20. the 6 speed In my e30 cost me less installed in my e30 than the Getrag 6 speed for a supra lol. This is with full custom mounting/shifting kit to fit the e30 body with 0 cutting and a 6 speed from 2005. The newest MK4 supra V161 transmission is going to be from 1998, quite a bit older parts and technology - also cost is very high. for the price spent on a garbage 15 year old R154 you could have a Modern ZF 5 speed easily, the 6 speed cost of MK4 supra would allow you to install a 6 box on your BMW and pay for part of the turbo parts.the BMW engine casting is more advanced than the toyota stuff, the toyota 1j/2j is famous for walking the thrust bearing on the crank.also famous for oil seal leaks, my fully built from naked block 2jzgte still shot out its cam shaft seals and front main seal. And they were all genuine toyota...BMW engine has incredible oil seals. Perhaps I am just being ridiculous but too many leaky dirty 1j/2j engines with crap seals, also my own bad experience of shooting out cam shaft seals on my fresh rebuilt 2jz-gte. (genuine toyota).more economical and (better for owner value) and higher performance with the BMW engine + turbo.I had a complete 2jzgte with 0 miles I had built sitting and refused to swap it into my BMW. it was just not advanced enough for the body, would have rather swapped in a chevy 350 to have 5.7Liters of torque than the 2jz.</blockquote>
