Audi 2jz vs rb26 engine swap

Hello I have a very cool 2014 sportback a5 but its very very slow the engine is (1.8 ) needs almost 9 seconds in 0-60 which sucks

So i have decided to change the engine and i Know i have to change the gear also and i will.
I want a 400 hp at least.

And I need an advice on what engine to put ( rb engine or 2jz ) and what are the cons of such engine swap.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Not sure if you can even put it in correctly without hindering the electronics.

Cons are the working the electronics correctly / wiring, tedious work to make it right / and definitely time / balancing the car as your head will be a little bit heavier than the 4 cylinder.

Pros, if you get it to run right with the right balance setup, then it will be fast.

it would make way more sense to max out the engine that comes with the car, to marry the 2jz to all the electronics,awd,tranny,and in the same space would be impossible or extremely costly
