So is a B18C1/5 (81mm bore and 87.2mm stroke) - What's the problem?

However, again, you are alluding to a race car where the rev range is higher than what you see on the street. How much power does that engine make BEFORE the turbo kicks in at 2500, or 3000rpm?
I'm a bit bemused by your reference to the boat anchor 2JZGTE engine as it has nothing to do with the comparison of the 3SGTE to 1MZFE. Again, the JGTC reference is for a RACE CAR. Race cars don't putter around in traffic (well, unless there’s a full course yellow).
Look up the dyno chart of a supercharged 1MZ-FE and compare it to a modified 3SGTE with similar peak power. You will see the 1MZ-FE will have a larger, flatter, power band. For reasonable street horsepower goals (under 300whp), the 1MZ-FE will be much easier to drive as you won’t need to rev the piss out of it to get the car to move. Does that mean it will be faster on the track? Who cares as that’s not the point I am making.

if you're driving it on the street in stop and go traffic all the time, then why does it matter if you have 100 ft/lbs of torque or 500 ft/lbs. buy a geo to commute with.
i'm sorry if i *assumed* that the swap would be for more than to show off some mad fabrication skills.
in any case, it would be different and it would be neat to see so someone tackle it and then we can stop bench racing and see if the thing actually performs well 8)
