I'm sick of the lack of power from the 2TGEU. When the car looks soo good, people expect results and at the moment I can't come up with the goods. Not to mention the more fun I could have.
ps. very slim chance I will choose the SR20DET - I don't like to follow the trend. Possibly a reason I'm steering away from the 3TGTE

what are your opinions on 13B/12a mazda rotary engines?
i have been considering many different engine swaps for my celica for much the same reason as you, the SS for example..  my 18R-geu does the hard yards but in the end would get eaten by anything with above average power, which is a pity for all the fiddling/dollars spent on the engine etc..
But ive been thru toyota and nissan 4 banger engines and was thinking maybe 3T, 3S, CA or SR, but i want less weight if possible.. the 18R is so heavy up front i think either a hot 4A-GTE or the lighter rotary would be a good change, even out body wieght distribution, and in the case of mazda motor: something different.. and can be intimidating popping a loud flame next to the punks in a Crewman SS before you buzz away from them hehe..
maybe a little custom work involved for install- but still a fair bit of aftermarket parts available, good power in standard trim for S4/5 13B turbo motors can be made to produce upto 200RWkw with stock internals bolt on mods.. Even naturally aspirated hi compression motors go hard, mild porting and weber carby/injection and your laughing 
but then again unless you buy injected motors, rebuilds are usually a good idea.. which are often costly
