I was looking into a EJ20, but wasnt sure if that was a good idea, or if there were better, and or cheaper options. Or if id just be better off getting another FRS engine.
WRX engine doesn't fit. 2AZ-FE, K, and LS are the only "practical" options, closely followed by the 2JZ which costs a little more. You're looking at almost 10,000$ for a bare minimum swap. The fastest of which being the LS. Unless you're really dedicated to the your particular FRS, just replace the motor. Boost it if you want more power a boosted FRS is as fast if not faster than a sub-10k$ LS swap.
