2Jz Or Ls1 Conversion?

[Paul-Rizzo]

Hi guys,

I have a is200 (2001). I'm looking to upgrade the power as the engine standard is a little lazy. I've seen that I can get a turbo upgrade parts etc installed for £3600. But I can only get a max of 280hp. I would prefer to get more if possible and the only way to do that is an engine conversion.

I know that standard ls1 has round 300-400hp standard, no turbos.

And that the 2jz standard has 300hp standard, no turbos (I think).

My question for you lot is..... Which is a better conversion to get? A 2jz or ls1?

I'm not looking for it to be used on track day events, just power for everyday use.... City and motorways.

LS1 all day long. I've got one in my 99' Camaro coupled to a T56 6 speed. 308 RWHP and 315 RWFt/LB of torque. CAI and exhaust are the only engine mods. My main concern would be what other mods would you need, ie will the diff handle this power?
