For now I'm goin to run stock turbo and ecu. I have a buddy of mine with an mk3 supra that I'm determined to look like a Prius after I'm done with my project thought. Haha

So to those of you that have accomplished this swap before, I have a question. I will be obtaining the s5 transmission with the engine, so I know this will be slightly larger than the 12a. Would you be able to point me in the right direction for mounting the tranny? Thanks!

if you dont mind doing some odds and ends swap, use a S4 tranny rear cone on the tranny. using the flat mount cone will allow you to bolt the tranny right in. however, putting a s4 cone on a s5 tranny requires some very careful grinding to a section on the inside where the counterweight of the tranny is. you'll find the spot real quick when fitting the cone. take your time doing this, it will be a fit, grind, sand, fit, take off, sand, fit take off again type of thing.
or just use a s4 tranny. only difference is the 5th gear ratio, not enough to make a significant difference.
mine bolts right in using the fb mount, a stock fb tranny mount with holes opened up, and a thick set of rubber mounts and washers on the crossmember. sounds complicated, but it really isn't.
there'sno going back once you turbo an fb....mine runs an fd motor with a garrett gt4094r....like free heroin for an addict!!

Awesome so it have not purchased the engine/ tranny yet, so I will aim for an s4 tranny instead. Being a turbo charged car, 5th gear will not be as important to me anyways haha
