If you can shell out for a transmission adapter and the tuning and probably a special wiring harness... Then yeah it's totally plausible. I'm sure if you were willing to front R&D monies, Pure would be happy to develop something for you. Everything comes down to money. Best option IMO is to just go manual.

The K series with the auto tranny from an FR-S is preferable, would be keeping it NA so the trans being able to hold the power wouldn't be a concern. I think for simplicity purposes my better option would be looking at bore/stroke the FA20, but if the situation presents itself for me to commit to the K swap, I'll look to Pure to work with in the R&D. A manual car isn't an option though, I would have chosen that from the get go for sure.

Yes, but this is a silly thing to have to do on a brand new car when the AT is already more expensive. The aftermarket price of those parts cost far more than getting them on the car stock, not including the labor to install everything.
Anyways, didn't mean to derail the thread. Hope to see more of these swaps completed in the near future.
