I got a 1998 celica gt 2.2 and I need to know what I would need to convert to a v6 turbo. What engine should I use and what do I need to convert

you are correct that an iron block will hold up better, however the 1MZ does have iron inserts in the cylinder walls. the pistons are the weakest point in the 1MZ.

Im gonna have to disagree with you, the 1MZ is a much better platform. newer technology, lighter, and later ones have VVT. other options are the 3MZ and of course the 2GR
