I say thats a good idea.. In the mean time, Id start looking for another 1nz-fe motor and break it down and rebuild. 5 years is a long time and PLENTY of time to really learn how to work on the 1nz. As a beginner, I'd rip it apart. Then put it back together, put it in your car to see if it cranks. If it doesnt, find out why. Then when you get it cranked, pull it back out, break the motor down to pieces again and repeat. Do this til you know it like the back of your hand.

While your doing this, start saving that money and buy your roll cage and suspension, tires and wheels. After 5 years, you will have a motor to put in that is more reliable.

THEN, take taht 300k mile motor and break that down and ReBUILD for a TURBO...

sorry, got carried away.. just a thought if i was in your situation. GOOD LUCK!
