Started the swap on my 14 FRS in December. Been slow going up to this point, but its moving now.

Started with a bone stock 2014 FRS in December 2014, added Whiteline swaybar end links, coilovers with swift springs (7k front, 6k rear), megan racing toe links, spl lca's, fbm 3" full exhaust, 17X9 CE28N wheels, weight reduction (got down to 2646 with no back seats, batter moved to rear, and metal removed everywhere (brake backings, etc.). Added a Full Blown motorsports GTX 3076R turbo kit in January 2015 and never really liked the way the car performed. Always had issues with cam sensor and running really rough at 6800 rpm and up. Knew I wanted a v8 swap, so I went for it. Bought a 120K mile 04 4.8 and t56 from a 2002 Camaro. Have two 6765 billet precision turbos here with sw turbo headers. Wanted the 4.8 for the 7500 rpm potential. Currently, engine and transmission are in, waiting on wiring harness, and driveshaft will be made next week. Ordered a MRS conversion box and have it here. Also rewired the fuel pump and cut out the controller. Trying to do one thing everyday to get it all done.

Trying to figure out the cheapest best way to do the exhaust. Think I may have found a solution, but it is a big maybe. a 3" overpipe from an FRS will fit through the subfram holes, and almost lines up with gto headers with a little changes. Finding a RHD overpipe would do the same thing and make a cheap Y pipe.
