2JZ motor swap or S/C or turbo?
I have a '98 GS300 and seriously want to add some power to the car. What do you guys believe is the best route for me to go with? I'm not looking for big hp either just looking to get in the range of 300-350 rwhp. Also I would like to keep the price range about 6k or so 
thanks

After reading about 2jz swaps, for only wanting 300-350 wrhp, I would do the Turbo or SC. I was thinking of picking up a nice used 98' GS 400 and blowing some air through it, without the major cost of a 2jz swap

Yes, I agree with everyone here. Just build yourself a turbo kit. You can spec out the turbo to fit your needs and maybe even use a Garrett ballbearing unit instead of the cheap turbonetics turbos that most kits use. Greddy E-Manage and HKS F-Con V-S are both available for a piggy back ECU setup to keep it all tuned properly.

HKS will not release the F-Con V-Pro in the US but they were going to release the S version at SEMA.
The F CON S has been released to HKS Pro Dealers for about 2 months already. At SEMA it will be released in full swing though.
As for the F COON V Pro, it will be released in the US. Not at SEMA, but it will be in the very near future.
Thanks

The S was in fact released to last sema, though only to the PRO Dealer network and in custom unit form only. For 6-7 months, limited pre-programmed units for the WRX and Supra have been available and offering only through HKS Pro Dealers. This SEMA, the more preprogrammed units are being release as will the use of them for up coming HKS Turbo kits.
Trust me on the V Pro, they will be available through HKS PRO Dealers soon enough =)
