Alot of this talk is going to come down to what you intend the car for. When I was looking into a IS200 it was intended to be a daily driver and have minimal time off the road during conversion. It made sense to go for the BEAMS 3SGE or the 1J where there would be no requirment for engine modification or to supercherge the 1G-FE. On researching the possibilty of supercharging or turboing the Standard 1G I kept comming up with the issue of the VVti not being suited to alot of boost (or somthing to that effect) I abandoned the idea of turbo or S/C the standard engine early in the piece thus research was pretty inconclusive.
Bringing in an Altezza front cut and doing a BEAMS conversion seemed to me the most straight forward conversion (not entirely the cheapest but possibly close to it). Plus the added bonus of the Altezza brakes and possibly the instrumant cluster if you can get a dressed front cut. And no need to play with suspension as the 3SGE is a lighter package.
The 1J was in there as well but IMO would require suspension modification to retain the handling characteristics that were the reason I was concidering the IS200 in the first place.
So basically after some thourght on the BEAMS and the 1J the BEAMS would have got the nod in my case but would have really like to have the turbo in there for the spirited driving (not that there is no spirit in the BEAMS, Far from it)
