The obvious thing that will be needed is custom engine mounts and possibly a oil pan to clear the subframe and the steering rack unless you decide to go dry sump.

In regards to the transmission, well this isn’t actually a issue anymore thanks to many people swapping the GM LS series engines and the Toyota 2JZ into the BRZ because companies like CX Racing have made crossmembers to suit the R154 and the T56 to the BRZ chassis and yes you can adapt both transmissions to either a 13B or a 20B the only things that will be needed is a clutch to suit and possibly a clutch master cylinder.

As for the engine management well AEM infinity support the Rotary engine as well as Haltech and MoTeC, if you want modernise the rotary companies like Platinum Racing Products make a R35 coil on plug conversion and there’s also a Hall effect trigger wheel kit by a different company

I hope this helps anyone thinking about the swap
If you follow through with this, please document all the things.
