Only one of those options is going to net you any significant power gain. That is throwing a full FS-ZE in with gearbox + brakes + rims. And for what you have already spent on that stuff, you might as well get an after market ECU and not even bother trying to an FS-ZE ECU to work.

Cheapest, easiest, and most reliable (you know this will work) would be to fix your current engine. Or perhaps drop a fresh(er) one in - might even resolve you oil pressure issue.
