Hi, I have a 1999 Lexus IS200 with 155hp. I'm looking for more power. I've considered supercharger, but don't know if the crankshaft will endure the change.
Another thing I've considered is a new engine. I've been watching a 3.0 litre twin turbo Supra engine, does this fit?
Any other reasonable priced engines with a little bit more hp that fits my car?
Any recommendations?

 

based on the questions you are asking, you do not seem ready to take a swap like this on. I recommend taking it to a shop and paying someone to do it.

 

I'm not too familiar with the IS200 in particular, but from what I've been reading around the forums is that it's a little more work to have the Supra engine (2JZGTE) swapped into the IS200 engine bay. Whereas if you had an IS300, you already have the same engine (minus the turbo) transplanted in it which a lot of people tend to turbo afterwards... Or straight swap the Supra engine into that.

Here's some threads to skim through with other people having some issues with their 2jz swapped IS200. The most common problem(s) seem to be the wiring harness and ECU. But as mentioned before, you should definitely take the car to a professional that specializes in these cars to have them do the swap for you.
