Default Thinking about picking up an SC300 turbo/2jzgte

I'm in the middle of selling my 94 RX-7 and after I sell it I am likely looking to find a clean and well done sc300. I was debating if I should find an SC300 with a single turbo already done or find an SC300 with the 2jzgte engine swap and then adding a single turbo.

I'm wondering how many on here have the swap done and if you have a single done to it. What's the difference between the SC300 single vs a 2jzgte single swapped SC300 or say a 1jzgte single swap? I'm pretty interested in picking one up to be a DD/toy car/ultimate sleeper. If you could tell me a little more about the swap/car as far as reliability, hp rates, mpg, fun, etc that'd be great.

I'd love to have an SC that'd be able to zip faster than my 7 now or keep up with some singled supras, so I'm guessing it'd be easier if I just swapped the 2jzgte into the SC as the SC and Supra are around the same weight correct? So in a way, the SC would basically be a more luxurious but still pull as hard as a Supra correct?

You just made the same thread you did this morning that got locked, why would you do it again... you can find all the answers you need by searching.
I would never reccomend buying a car thats already modded, theres always a reaone its being sold. You dont need a 2jzgte in order to be fast. Theres this crazy thing called NA-T where you put a turbo on your 2jzge and there you go. Check out clubna-t.com, buy a turbo kit and youre done.

It got locked because I posted it in the SC400/300 general forum instead of the FI forum.

No, it appears to have been locked due to the fact that a quick search will yield MORE than enough discussion on this exact issue.
