There are lots of options if you're not brand loyal - the CA18DET is a *fantastic* motor. The SR20DET is good too, but only if you're going to do the simple boost+exhaust+intercooler... they get a little weak once you go any further than that.
Other options... stay in the Toyota stable with the 3SGTE... only problem is that it's a very tricky conversion and you're probably better off doing a 1GGTE.
Personally the pick of the bunch is the 13B turbo, just be careful on fuel and reliability
You'll have to check legality on any of these in your home state - in QLD you can put any engine up to 2.5lt turbo in an ST141. So yes a 1JZGTE is legal.. it's just a bit big to squeeze in happily.
