I think you are best off building the factory motor...
it is a huge pain to swap in an Aristo motor...
done both, building the stock motor and turboing it turned out ten times easier and about the same cost in the end... not to mention the stock drivability is retained, including drive by wire, e-shift and all those goodies...

thats an aggressive timeline. maybe you meant August 2013. engine swap is not going to be easy. neither is switching to RHD.
personally dont see the point of RHD but whatever floats your boat.

built motor, trans and turbo setup is definitely doable, even when working full time, I should know, I did mine in exactly two months, its just a money issue... switching to RHD, way bigger pain in the *** than anything, and I'm not sure I see the point either, aside from just being different...

Building the stock motor sounds easy I'll look into it .
But I have a 2nd car so The is300 can sit for a while and everything can be done right ..
I found the vvti (-auto swap for 1,000+shipping) , 2jzgte& 2jzvvti 1,800 pick up 2 1/2 hours away from my house ( keep in mind I get to see and test the motor before buying it) ...
My body man said 1week . Before he starts I'll have the rack changed out . The front clip when it gets here will be complete ect motor,drivetrain. All lines in the engine bay will be there . So we will swap what we can and mod the rest !
