which engine is the best engine for little money, fast, durable?

[ochowdero]

This is the exact kind of feedback i was looking for. thank you!

i originally planned to go with the 7mgte because its cheaper and with proper rebuilding and maintenance it can withstand alot of hp. (plus i have a 7mge so a gte swap wouldnt be to hard at all)
im fond of the 7m i love them simply because people think theyre a crap performance engine because of the BHG. i dont want to fall into the 2jz scene purely because of "quick power". i believe reaching a goal of 400hp, if i even want to have that much, is cheaper in the long run with the 7m. am i correct?
people have their opinions and since i never rebuilt these motors before i dont know the difference in cost/power ratio with them.

like you said, with stock components and a kept up or rebuilt 7m with minor turbo upgrades, fuel injectors and others pushing 320!? not bad and im sure you didnt spend to much.

i hope more people hop into this convo, this may help out alot of people with the same questions. and since i couldnt find it on the forum anymore...
