Why 1Jz-GTE?

I'm with you Ethan. I say keep the 7M-GTE. It's your first car and it comes with a turbo in it. I just got a 90 N/A and I'm considering getting a 7M-GTE or a 1JZ-GTE. I don't have money for a swap yet, but when I do, I'm leaning toward the 1JZ because I want reliable 300-400hp turbo power, and being that mine has over 205K MILES (WOOOOWWW!) on it, it's the perfect swap candidate. It's still running so I can drive it until the HG blows (hopefully after I'm ready to swap). But there's some other threads that talk about -and show - the insides of both turbo motors and It's a toss up depending on where u buy it and how much u pay for it. They also say it's best to find a whole front clip, which costs more than the motor itself of course. So u may be better off with the one u already have...at least until u crave more power. If mine was a turbo I would if it was in good condition.
