In general terms:

Custom "2JZ" engine
Custom oil pan
Custom engine mounts
Custom intake manifold
Custom exhaust manifold
Custom exhaust system
Custom ECU
Custom cooling solution
Custom transmission
Custom transmission tunnel
Custom firewall
Custom dashboard
Custom center console
Custom drive shaft
Custom rear subframe
Custom rear diff
Custom rear axles
Custom fuel system

And then there's all the other stuff you'll have to fabricate that you'll discover along the way.

This is really all you need. Slap it on your FA20 and you're good to go!

Well, p3raltaboi ...... the first thing I would suggest that you do is to re-think your idea about an engine swap ......

LOL

You would need to re-do pretty much the entire drivetrain, modify the firewall, tunnel, etc. Basically, since there doesn't appear to be enough room for the length of a 2jz, you'll be stripping the entire car down, cutting nearly the entire firewall and driveshaft tunnel up, fabricating a new enclosure...

You know what? it'll be cheaper to buy a supra and put a GT86 "body kit" on it...

I would seriously look into swapping the 20 valve 4AGE big port engine into your car

You'll get the torque and the power, but you'll also get the weight of the cast iron block effectively messing up the balance that makes this car special.

4age isn't an iron block last time I check. I could be wrong.

I think Wise was referring to the 2jz... Actually, why stop at a 2jz when you can swap in a big block Hemi? To offset the weight balance, put lead weights in the trunk!
