I understand what you said and why you said it...BUT, suggesting a search indicates that said search would reveal an answer. Suggesting a search on an issue that is " can of worms" suggests there is no answer...just opinions. I have searched enough to realize a few things...anything 7m is...

Thanks for all of the great advice and opinions. I will begin to go down the road towards an NA > Turbo swap in the future. Where does the hive mind come down on the 7mgte vs 1jz vs 2jz and single vs dbl turbo questions?

Yep...had an '04 M3...I-6, 3l and 300+ hp. Many $$$$:naughty: But, since the Germans could do it...

Thanks for the clarification and information regarding this reliability issue. It seems that I should plan on a NA-T swap.

Why does it seem that every other post/thread deals with the lack of reliability and increased down time and the need for a CNC machine, full stocked shop, a couple of lifts, dyno in the corner, mig.tig welder, 20 years engine building experience, an a lucky rabbit's foot? Even Ian's 270+...

That pic of the Sedan reminds me of the Coupe I used to have...what a monster!:evil2: What realistic rwhp is possible for my motor...and wil it be reliable...and how muich $$$?

Is it true that reliability can suffer with a turbo motor (gte/1jz/2jz)? I need this car to be a reliable DD. As a 40 yo married guy...I also need to keep momma happy.:naughty:

I searched, read the FAQ's, and am reading Ian's mega-thread (my brain still hurts...is there a list of acronyms?)...and I was unable to find the answer to this question... Is it possible tio get 350+ rwhp out of a NA motor? If so, is it possible to expect this vehicle to be a reliable DD...

Thanks...I am way too excited about my awesome white car! I have wanted this car since I sold new Toyotas in Topeka, KS. in 1987 as a college student. My wife thinks it is something of a mid-life crisis.:naughty: I have some mechanical aptitude and an wicked set of tools, the TSRM on-line...

New here...lurker for a while, bought an 88 NA w/ 67k original miles. I love my awesome white car! No BHG or warning signs, but was wondering (after an extensive search) if it is a good idea to make certain the bolts are properly torqued to 72 ft/lbs?
