Hey, don't let these guys spook you! This swap is probably one of the most popular ever. And, as they say, much, much discussion on this issue throughout the forum... just try the search function... probably nothing that hasn't been already fully examined.

I think 1jz or 2jz, they are both easy as they both are in sc/soarers, it is the budget that will make you decide on which motor swap.

There are so much involved in doing a 2JZGTE swap, yet it's not very hard.
Good luck finding all the parts cheap because they arent, and when you find a good deal on something that you must have, just buy it. I missed two 6spd wiring harnesses both under 500

If you do the swap yourself, I think bare minimum would be around 4k with everything stock 2k for motor + 400~1200 6spd wiring harness(unless auto) + ecu + fan shroud + radiator + fuel stuff, etc it keeps on going. Good luck with yours.

Check around supraforums.com for some used parts

The 2JZ-GTE was developed to power the fourth generation of the Supra sports car. It was based on the 2JZ-GE, but differed in its use of sequential twin turbochargers.

The use of sequential twin CT12B turbochargers raised its power output from a mere 166 kW (225 hp DIN) to 206 kW (280 hp DIN) at 5600 rpm, due to a "Gentlemen's Agreement" in the Japanese market, although the real undisclosed figure was well in excess of 300 hp (over 220 kW). In the American and European market, power was raised to 239 kW (320 hp SAE)/243kW (330hp [DIN]) at the same 5600 rpm. The Export-Version of the 2JZ-GTE actualized its higher power output due to different turbochargers (steel, JP: ceramic), camshafts and bigger injectors (550ccm, JP:440ccm). This engine, like Nissan's RB26DETT, is very popular with tuners for its high horsepower potential and reliability. Modified versions of the 2JZ-GTE have been seen with over 1500hp. Notable is Marko Djuric's '93 Toyota Supra, a street driven vehicle with a stock displacement 2JZ-GTE that dynoed 1520 horsepower at the rear wheels in 2004, still running on gasoline.
