    Are you swapping it into an IX?

          I really hope the Everett you have listed isn't Everett, Washington. I can barely understand what you are saying still.

          To answer your question. You can't do it without major modifications.

                Does he still have the car or is he buying a engine, tranny, etc?
                I'm totally confused here- what was the question?
                How much house power is needed for an ix?
                Boosted house power is easily achieved with a generator...
                Duh...

                  the problem is that the IXes way so much they need house power, not just horse power. It's funny though, when my M10 sputters and coughs it makes hoarse power.

                      An m30 is not an easy swap into an ix, not even sure if it's actually possible.

                        you need a custom oil pan for one.
