1jz vs rb25- Summer Project

[No.fvckz]

Hey guys, im new to the forums, quick intro, im 16 and way in over my head.
Before you ask, yes there are already threads about this particular topic, but mines a little different. I have plans of swapping either engine into a s13 shell which ill be picking up late june and i plan to finish the build sometime at the end of summer, and by finish i mean have a running car. Now money isnt the biggest issue although id like to cut as many corners as possible and still have end up with a reliable build. I understand the RB25 is alot simpler to swap than the 1jz but they've always had a special place in my heart, ever since i knew what a supra was. For someone with my experience the obvious choice is the rb but a local engine shop just got a 1jz vvti single turbo with the r154 tranny combo for a little under $2k. So please give me your opinions and some more insight. and no bs "your better off buying it built" answers, because im dedicated to building this, with some help, in my own backyard
