Not sure exactly where the GT60 stacks up, but probably a bit smaller than these:

by off the shelf i mean that somebody sells the custom eccentric shaft needed to join two 13b engines together to make a 26b 4 rotor

lots of companys make it one off, but nobody seems willing to sell it

And even if they were to sell it, the engine alone would likely cost as much or more than your M3 did.

not just the eccentric shaft by itself… i can build exhaust manifolds and intake manifolds (it would be run as NA) and i can wire up a haltech easily to run the thing… im just pipe dreaming, but there is no reason the shaft would have to cost more then 2500ish, and even then you coudl nap some 13b NA motors for cheap to graft together, doesnt have to be the 13b REW

If it was that easy, there would be companies already producing a custom e-shaft. Hell, there are custom 13b ones. There’s more to it than that, I’m sure.

I know for sure that the bolts to hold it all together are going to be MASSIVE and not cheap.
