A word of advice: the search button does wonders. the 1JZ swap is documented now both here and on SF in a way it wasn't 2 or 3 years ago.
the 2JZ swap has been done over and over and over
and the NA-T market has changed a bit as well -- Boost Logic & SP now make great tubular manifold kits...
maybe this thread should be locked -- it's really useless at this point.

A lot of you guys are smoking crack. You're going with 1JZ because it's cheaper. Guess what. If you're not willing to shell out a little more money for the 2JZ, then don't do it. Overall swap will be pretty expansive. If you want less power go ahead and go with 1JZ. Also keep in mind if something brakes (and most likely will if you plan on further modding the car) you will pay the premium price for all the 1JZ parts. Stop thinking in short term and expand your thinking.
