How to: 2jzgte swap

Hello everyone, has anyone here swapped a 2jzgte engine into their frs? I have questions about what you used and what you needed to shave or adjust to make it fit

Step 1: Acquire 20k for swap budget
Step 2: Trade in the FRS and get a used Cayman S

Edit: But seriously, why do you want to do a 2jz swap? Are you going to drag race it? Do you want something unique? Making a show car? Or do you just want to be madtyteJDMfastfurious? Because the 2jz is heavy as shit and the v160 trans is crazy expensive.

Edit2: Also, I don't think it would be road legal in California.

Well somebody has to say it...
You are going to do an engine swap on a RS 1.0? What about the "collectors" value? Why not buy a cheap regular 13 in the first place?

Same reason he's doing the swap bro, he wouldn't have gotten mad street cred without the "special" release series!

Somebody has to say this as well. If this is a question you have to ask, you have no business attempting an engine swap of any kind.

I have a 2JZGTE/V160 swapped FRS. Everything is custom on every swap I've known of so you'll just have to work at that yourself. Be prepared to trim the trans tunnel bracing and reinforcing it yourself; that's the only thing I've seen in common with all the swaps.
