Default couple of questions

From what a couple of friends told me it would be cheaper to build a na-t than doing a swap with another engine. I have a 2jzge with 120,000 miles. I just wanna get to about 300-330 whp. I also wanna keep it automatic. Would it be easier and cheaper to build a na-t then swaping for a 1jzgte automatic

It would be cheaper to go NA-t with the 2J but keep in mind engine management will be a big roll in how long your motor is going to last. If it where me I would get a GTE head and all the accessory's and gte head gasket, ecu harness from a JDM aristo and go to town but that is what I would do. It's just easy for me because I've down swaps like that before along with 1J swaps.

So it would be easier to na-t and get the right pieces

Depends on what your budget is.....it is much easier IMO to just swap a 1jzgte or 2jzgte......

If NA-T is done right it came just as good as a 1jzgte or 2jzgte swap....

Either way do no cheap out on the vital parts....buy quality parts....ie. turbo, wastegate, bov....etc

Plenty of people including myself are running a cheapo turbo manifolds and intercoolers...

What's a good turbo to get for the sc300. Something that can handle up to 330whp
