2jz is the best engine its superior in every way except price and engine swap its a hard swap and a good deal on a 2jz is like 2500 buks if u decide that the 2jz is too much work go with a 1jz but quik power a 2jz is your best bet b/c with a few bolt on parts and a boost control u can get that kind of hp. 7m are good but with that kind of a budget go with a 1j or 2j

It would be better to get a turbo engine because it is built for the turbo and the N/A isn't. Rewiring is a pain from one engine to another. It is all possible of course, anything is, but you have to either have a lot of patience, experience and money to do the swap or the person that does it needs the first two and you will need even more money.

Personally I would go for a car, the Supra for instance, that is already turbocharged. Much easier to go with add-ons rather than the swap, but that is just my opinion.
