M272 E25

The E25 is a 2.5 L (2496 cc) version. Bore dimension is 88 mm and stroke is 68.4 mm. Output is 204 PS (201 hp/150 kW) at 6100 rpm with 181 ft·lbf (245 N·m) of torque at 2900-5500 rpm.

M272 E30

The E30 is a 3.0 L (2996 cc) version. Bore is 88 mm and stroke is up to 82 mm. Output is 231 PS (228 hp/170 kW) at 6000 rpm with 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) of torque at 2500-5000 rpm.


If the bore is the same, then replacing the crank (and possibly arms) would change a E25 into an E30? Does the E30 share the dual runner manifold? I understand that there would need to be some ECU tweaking, but that sounds really interesting.
