Hey everyone! 
I was wondering if anyone has done an A15 conversion to their 1000?
i will be doing one in the next few months and would really appreciate any advice or tips you would be willing to share
thanks guys!

I am about to go down the A15 turbo path in mine, has a A12 at present. Will keep you posted as I learn more

A15 is only a good thing in a K with either a 3.545 or 5 speed and 3.9

The only simple way is a plate to the original mounts to offset the bolt pattern
if you are after something more fancy, no-one has done it to the original ears
most people go the simple plate or remove ears and make/mod new ones

For easy flat plate engine mount relocation...I have an example of someone elses early-Late conversion which is a flat plate that bolts to the AC mounting points and engine mounting points (exhaust side), then an early engine bracket bolts to the adapter plate.
 
So same idea as what D has suggested, just done on the engine block side instead of on the crossmember side. 
 
I think It has a cleaner look, but on the down side it does remove AC mounting as an option.

Thank you, that is the sort of thing I am looking at doing. I should get a chance in the next 2 weeks to bolt up the gearbox and make the cross member, once its all done I will post a couple of pictures of the engine mounts.

Yes was going to suggest that you must round off the corners of anything!
we are OCD and we just dont understand how people dont spend another
minute just grinding and smoothing ends and making them rounded.
Sharp corners give me the irrits!!!!!
 
After travelling through Spain and Santorini Im always angered by modern
concetre western building also all sharp corners no soul totally clueless.
Round things off yar butchers!!! Now thats CDO (in alphabetical order)

Thank you for the tips!

Wondering if anyone can help with a measurement for the gearbox placement?
 
I am installing the celica 5 speed and trying to get the output shaft at the right height to not effect the pinion angles. Unfortunately I didnt take the measurements before removing the box. 
 
What I am after is the distance between the top of the tunnel and the top of the output shaft. 
 
Any help would be great.

Thanks Ash, very helpful and exactly what I was after.
