I would love to see some high HP FA20s, but to make the real reliable power a swap I think wouldn't be a bad move for a street or drag car.
Any motorsport other than drifting isn't a fan of 2JZ and LS swaps though... So I'll be sticking with the FA20. |

FA20 is a nice enough motor, but until there is some kind of tuning solution / unlock for the stock ECU its going to be pretty hard to utilize it properly. None of the currently available standalones will control the direct injection unit.

Handling and weight balance aside, the 2JZ is an old-ass motor, and a stupid swap because no one else is going to look at it and say "oh yeah, it's totally feasible for me to do that!" The last 2JZ engine was offered in what, 2005? It would never be emissions legal in all but the most careless states, and the platform has been beaten to death, so why not work with the new engine and push the FA20 forward, rather than going backward? That to me is the equivalent of watching NASCAR. The car on the outside looks like a Toyota Camry, but underneath its a tube frame chassis with a (now only recently fuel-injected) big V8 and a solid rear axle. Nothing that normal people would ever aspire to. ("Hoo-doogy! I just bought this brand new 2012 Camry and I'ma tube it and put a big ol' honkin' V8 in there! 'Merica!!") At least if you're going to do a swap, put something modern in there that can potentially be road-legal. Just my $.02
But as long as we're talking ridiculous swaps, how about an LF-A motor?

I was hoping this would come up soon... I was so excited when I clicked on the topic but now I am gladly calmer. I love learning. It is an old motor- albeit an awesome one... im sure there are much better swaps... BMW straight 6? nvm, but I much prefer the idea of working with this awesome new motor. 2.0 liter boxer- i see huge potential... new, clean, potential... There isnt much JDM support for direct injection- let alone this new system which uses port also... a lot of new awesome gear is going to come out and I say wait- master the car stock... learn its weaknesses... when everything is properly R&D, then tune the balls off it!

we've done a few LS, 427, 2jz, 1.5jz, rb30, 3sgte and countless honda swaps in the past and its been great but never a v10, we even had a crashed Ferrari 360 we could of butchered but never got the time to, and sold onto the next poor sod to deal with the Italiano spaghetti they call a wiring harness. a 2jz in a rx7 is close to being on the line of "too far forward" already, in a smaller car like the frs/brz is just madness, go find a s13 silvia with a rb25 engine swap and it would be pretty spot on for how it handles, and how useless they are for anything part from straight line work, DO IT!! |

A fully built 3s-gte would be my pic but would be a fun job. You can still get relatively new ones from JDM caldinas and stuff too.
