anything can be done with enough money

and since you're asking such a question, I presume that you won't do it yourself...so...let's just estimate...$10K+ to get the job done.

and moved to the celi forum

Money can do lots but for a real street legal car the answer is NO.

Why not just swap in a 3rd gen 3S-GTE ~ 250+ hp? For the extra money you save from the 1JZ swap you can build a freaken monster with the 3S-GTE. Don't forget the Castrol Supra in the JGTC races uses a 3S-GTE.

wouldnt your car have to be rear wheel? my friend is doing the swap with his 240sx. but you can always go V6 thats maybe my next move. about $1100 if you look on ebay.

The question is never if it can be done or how much it gonna cost.
The question is how much you want it? And will you see it through.
For any out of the normal changes, get you cost and times 3. If you have to ask "Can I do it for X dollar?", don't do it.
