To answer the OP's original question requires a little more clarification on his part. When you say "the most hp for the least amount of money", what do you mean?....are you looking for a general sweet spot between the two virtues in the 400 hp range, or are you you looking to make some serious power(600 to 800 hp or more!!!)? I think there is a threshold for all three motors where their internals need major modification($$$) to avoid catastrophe; this threshold is different for each one. If you're staying within those thresholds for any given motor, there is a potential value point there of 'most bank for a buck for THIS engine'. Comparing those value points, I believe the 2jz will come out on top as being the engine that will produce the highest output with the least amount of internal mods($$$) while retaining the most reliability....and of course, that would be happening with a turbo, not a supercharger.

 

yeah i found some but not to what i was specifically looking for. I'm not gonna be a noob and make useless threads haha. I'll continue this thread when i start modding too! thanks for the help everyone!

 

I'm looking to make some serious power without spending too much around 500 is good for me while still making my sleeper. but just got a job that pays $10/hr so lets pretend that i can pay for any range for now
alright. reliability is important to me too. Looks like I'm going on the 2jz side!

 

I found everything you were looking for by searching.

But you chose 2JZ so no one can complain now
