^^Right, but there are technologies you would have to integrate to the 2JZ that don't exist on a 2JZ vehicle. The security system and "keyless" starting are just two of the small things that would be extremely challenging to integrate. So we'd all like to know how this was done, or if this car is like the other (former) 2JZ 2IS swap with a complete standalone ECM, aftermarket gauges, and no provisions for the myriad amenities depending on the original ECM to work.
Man I want to come back and see some post on this one

Congrats on the project Javier!!! 
Not sure if you ever saw this car below, but this is a fully sponsored Falken Drifter (race) IS350.
At the time these pics were taken it was a 2JZ swap, but it now has a V8 .....
First (and Second) Look: Falken Tire IS350 Drift Car
Early pictures of the Falken IS350 drift car 56K death!
Nice work.... Looking forward to your thread with details.

I don't think its hating or jealousy I think its a scary prospect. On one side we all want more power. On the other side the risk of screwing up our precious IS and being stuck with the bill to fix it is quite frightening. I do respect the guy for doing it. It's people like that who push the envelope and eventually bring it to the masses.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
