Yes they do build a harness to run dual ecu/stand alone for our chassis. They do swaps there as well... They actually fab/mass produce a lot of cool helpful things. I'm not sure if they've completed a FRS/brz 2jz swap or not but they do have all the knowledge there.

Cool. I still haven't decided if I want to go this route or build the FA20 bottom end and boost it.

Ball park cost of this project, if you are just using a stock 2jz?

We've got about 2 - 2.5 more weeks left on this one. Thank you for the kind words and the support.

I'm in the STL area now, and some friends at a shop called Nocturnal Motorworks are handling the fabrication and what not. If I had the skills and resources that they do it would be in my garage like everything else...

I'm sure you might find some really cool stuff online about them.

Nice, my main reason for asking is I'm a local and I've been looking for a credible shop to do eeither a Ls swap or 2jz but I want the experience and affordable price. Not the typical oh 20 k shit for that I'll do the shit myself lol

Local to St. Louis or Orlando? And yeah I'm lucky enough to be around an awesome group of guys that have 1jz, 2jz, LS, and RB swapped just about every chassis you could think of... And don't rape you on pricing just because it's a "not so typical" thing to do aka what you find most shops in California, NY/other tristate areas, and FL.

This will be the first FR-S swap they'll be performing, but they have no lack of confidence and I have nothing but trust and confidence in their fabrication work from what I've witnessed personally throughout my time living in the Midwest.

I'll likely have them cage or partially cage my car as their cage work and pricing is second to none.
