I created a thread on the S65. Similar idea.
The only advantages I see over a 2JZ are the following: the engine and transmission are one unit so there isn’t a need for an adapter kit for something like a CD009; the engine might be lighter and is for sure lower and shorter; there is no need to upgrade to a single turbo like it is for the 2jz; and the intake manifold could work without a need for modification or a drive by wire conversion. Those costs could add up. I don’t know what a used engine and tranny go for but I doubt it is too expensive compared to a LS and T56.
The big thing is Pure Automotive isn’t likely going to do a Motec setup for canbus integration or anyone else, so this would only be for a racecar situation because I doubt it would be a good daily without full integration.
