It would not be worth it. Getting a built block and head to flow correctly with a pea shooter turbo is going to be hard. You will have boost creep like crazy unless you had a restrictive exhaust (which would kind of defeat the purpose of the built engine). In addition, the cams and headwork will not allow the stock ECU to perform correctly so you will need some sort of fuel tuning (IMO, standalone is the ONLY smart way to go with this set-up).

I suggest you sell the block on mr2oc.com forum and dump the car (or part it out) for whatever you can get for it. You have a brand new IS300 and you don't need this headache. Getting even stock 3s swaps to run correctly is neither easy or a budget proposition - especially for people who have a very limited experience working on engines. Your engine would add other complicating factors.
