well, ill throw in my two cents instead of just saying "SEARCH!"

the Supra is notorious for being an extremely unreliable and high maintanance car. the 2JZ-GTE has many, many more moving parts than the 13B rotary, thus more maintanance and care is needed. the Supra is also very unforgiving in the modifications department. do a few mods in the wrong order, and you have a 2JZ-GPW (PW for Paper Weight). the fuel system, cooling system, rear end, and turbo control system is also very unreliable and weak in the Supra.

the RX-7 on the other hand is a much, much more reliable car. much more power can be pulled out of the 13B with very little money. simply by turning up the boost and opening up the exhaust, gains of ~80 RWHP can be expected, and even more with a few other upgrades. the RX-7 is also known for its strong fuel system. there are numerous 450+ RWHP RX-7s on even the stock injectors.

go with the RX-7.
