You have plenty of options with that much cash. CA18det, SR20det, FJ20det, Piazza turbo. They are the main engine conversions people do. Either taht, or put in a g180, g200, or a Rodeo 2.6, and do an EFI Turbo conversion on one of this engines, and they will, especially the 2.6, fuckin fly. |

pfft, mate, who cares if its different, i dunno about where you are, but not too many people i have actually met and looked at their gem with one of those engines in it. But hey, its your money, they go bloody quick. Put a 4AGZE engine in, that will be a bitch and totally different, super charged 1.6 Toyota engine, they go fuckin quick i'll tell ya that much. Dunno about in a gem, but in a Sprinter that go wicked. |
