1MZ-FE is the way to go. Much cheaper, and if anything ever goes wrong you can actually get parts for it. Unless you go with the 2nd gen 3S-GTE anyway. Then the 1MZ would be better at that rate. Still even against the 3rd gen 3S-GTE I'd take the 1MZ-FE. Only talking a difference of 50 hp(stock vs stock), and you can run the 1MZ-FE on regular fuel and get incredibly good gas mileage. Besides that the 3S-GTE is heavier and has lag, so that 50 hp extra really doesn't equate to much over the 1MZ-FE. Plus the exhaust sounds better, and that's what really matters at the end of the day.
 Being you're 17 cheap and reliable are your two best friends and the 1MZ-FE meets that. Don't have to worry about a turbo and all of the associated problems, and you can get parts cheaply from any local parts house. 200 hp in a 2,400 pound car is more than enough, especially for someone that just got their license. You get to **** with all of the Honda kids, get 30+ mpg on regular, and have a reliable engine that has parts everywhere. Sounds like a winner to me.
