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.
yeah, i know it won't be leagal, i want it for the track and just to show off. The fun part about projects like that is that you have stuff to do to them for years. I'm actually thinking of putting the fuel cell in the engine compartment and having the transmission a direct-drive to the rear axle .
