I'd go a fuel injected 5 litre personally. Very straight forward conversion and good results and there are tons of aftermarket parts for them.

im not going to turbo my 6 im going to rather save for a 304i 5spd and it bolts straght in, as u said tons parts and u can allways blow :D

but if a cheap turbo set up (factory) is offerd to me and i have the money then i would possible think of it

i have to admit that i'm a little suprised that some people actually prefer just a NA RB30. I'm still a bit on the fence between the Stroker V8 and the Turbo RB30. I learnt to drive in V8s and have been in a few strokers (including a stroked 383 LJ torana) and i do like the turbo's a lot.

throw an RB26DETT (Nissan GTR engine, one out of a 33 preferably) in there!! engine mounts are the same as your current ones an it'll bolt up to your gearbox.
