5s-gte hybrid...or V6 engine

Ok, I need some help! I have been considering the idea of a %s-gte hybrid since the day that I fuirst heard of it cause it sounds like a really strong engine. I am though a little worried about the reliability of it. Also I was looking at putting the new vvt-i V6 engine in my 92 mr2. I want toknow if anyone has done either of these, and which wouldbe potentially better????

from listening to people talk on here i think the 5sgte swap would be easiest because the 5s and 3s motors have about the same block

the v6 swap would prob be more expensive and harder but you would be able to get more power more reliably via 2 extra cylinders

yeah,I was thinking that the 5sgte would be easier too, but when I went to the local TRD shop, I was told that the vvt-i engine was suposed to bolt right up without a problem......but I dont see how. But yeah I think if I can I am going to go with the V6 just to see how it would be. plus I want my car to still be able to be a daily driver. Thanks for the reply by the way!
