p/s one more note on the JZ
I used to run n/a 1JZ vvti with factory 5a/t (stripped from late JZX100 Tourer S) in my car. It has no bottom end torque at all. I was very happy when switched to 1UZ vvti which even has less weight. Surprisingly, fuel consumption even dropped a bit for city traffic. I can't see any point behind installing some JZ engine unless it's a factory turboed one and you plan a serious upgrade to it in future.
