If you are really looking for a neat conversion, Try the Toyota 4AG transverse turbocharged. For me I have stuck with the A+ series 1480cc normally aspirated.
What can I say, I'm an old school guy.

Hotrod,
You may have to use a shortened drive shaft or else the motor would end up in the cockpit. Anyways best of luck with the project.
BTW, I did find some info on the motor breakin.... water dip method. Ran it for 2.5 hrs. I was a bit hesitant at first because I was taught that one should never mix water with electricity. Additionally water corrodes metal. LOL. Anyways, sees to have worked fine. Motor is really kicking... I have not installed it yet but will do so and give it a run at the track this weekend.

I think using the flanged tubes found normal under the c-hubs of Tourer with ti screws will do the job.
