The 3.0-liter twin-scroll turbo six-cylinder engine produces a power output of 335 HP while

maintaining a torque of 365 LB-FT. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in mere 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.

The engine block is of cast iron, which is partially responsible for its sturdy nature. It allows for great bottom-end rigidity. That’s exactly what you do when you’re blowing a huge boost. It justifies BMW’s interest in this engine.

He stated that BMW has been building engines for more than 100 years, and they have spent billions on R&D of engines. But, they’ve now realized what their consumers really want and will be making 2JZ swaps in all of their products going forward.

 

Conclusion
