\"2JZ-GTE<\/a><\/p>\n

Mark Boylan’s<\/a> BMW E30 was built by Scott Birdsall at Chuckles Garage<\/a> in Santa Rosa, California. The car is powered by a turbocharged 2JZ-GTE inline-six built by ALC Machine Shop. It features CP-Carillo pistons, Brian Crower camshafts, GTR ignition coils, Garrett G42-1200 turbocharger, and ID2000 injectors. The motor produces 1080 hp on a Haltech Elite 2500 ECU. Behind that is a T56 six-speed manual transmission with a XClutch triple-disc clutch and a 8.8-inch rear end. The car rides on AST Suspension HQ shocks, Z3 rear suspension, and Brembo brakes. <\/p>\n
