Which should I go?? Na-t vs 2jzgte swap
I know this topic among others has been beaten to a bloody pulp but im just not sure which would be a better choice. I've been struggling with the decision of either na-t or a 2jzgte swap. I just want some pros an cons of the two so I can compare them to eachother an make the best decision, Thanks in advance for any input on this.

read my complete 2jz swap build progress thread- will show you the extent of what is needed for full proper swap.
if you don't think you can handle the full monty, just NA+t

TT swap is not for everyone, Na+T is capable of more power than most know what to do with.
if looking for ease of swap, order Aem for NA and boost logic turbo kit. DONE.

2jzgte Full swap build thread in my sig 
Required full re wire of car and treasure hunt for good secondhand turbos, if was going to do it again I would buy a small single for na and plug and play aem with an aftermarket front facing intake manifold. Or do Tt head only and adapt the dis wiring
Same costs, better results in some sense, less time/effort.
I rebuilt the entire 2jzgte from bare block also, ge engine could be done same at much less cost.
My sc300 was na+t, then na, then full TT. The only ugly parts of na+ are fmic piping, dizzy and intake manifold. Piping is a functional issue, the other 2 are purely cosmetic.
The full TT Oem installation fit the best.

So, if it's been beat to death what's the point? Nobody will ever agree.
Look in my SIG. Non-biased FAQ on the very subject.
There used to be search ****'s everywhere.
Now it's guys who think they know everything about everything.
I say go back to being search ****'s. This way you can make your own decision, and I don't have read 20 pages of sack swinging over What engine is best, who's right, who's wrong, blah, blah, blah.

full TT swap is cleaner OEM fit. NA+t is aftermarket fit (not OEM). that is the bottom line
if you are a fit fanatic, nothing beats OEM everything. if you can handle NA+T aftermarket item fitament, then NA+T is the most logical.

I highly suggest buying a Honda because they are a lot easier on your wallet than Jz anything before and after you get in over your head. You haven't even got the idea off of paper and you're in over your head already.
Reading and comprehension go a long way.
Do not get in a rush.
If you don't want a Honda, my next suggestion is to spend a year saving, figuring out your goals, and learning about Jz series engines and what makes them tick.
OR, jump in with both feet, waste a lot of time and money, then sell us all the cool **** you bought for pennies on the dollar
