Yeah, i didn't let all the hassle discourage me from getting exactly what i wanted.

With my first turbo setup last year i was in the motor about 10k. [rough estimate, possibly a little more] After changing setups this year I'm in it about an additional 3200.

I love JDM motors/cars/culture. I don't care much for LS motors especially N/A, they're boring and all the same In my opinion. LS swaps are more common than 2jz swaps in S chassis, and as everyone knows the stock block power capability. Although i would like to someday build a FC rx7 with a pro charged LS. Thats the only LS project that really appeals to me. I also got lucky my 2jz cost me $2000 when i bought it. Now most JDM motor sellers have raised their prices to 2800 for the non-vvti's.
Thank you for your honest feedback. It seems to do either swap correctly with nice to high quality parts you need about 8-10k depending on deals used part and new purchases. Prices have gone up which sucks.

Orverall upgrading the 2jz over the LS may be more expensive in the long run. I love your build just not sure which way to go yet. Guess the sr will stay a little longer lol.
