Guest Kelsey Mitchell Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I was wondering if any one here has heard of or has dropped a 13B turbo into a miata? I am asking this cause we have alot of those little shopping trolleys here and they handle quite nicely! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I wanted to one a while back but my friend intervened, saying that miatas are (*********) and I said, "yeah, wouldnt want to look like that". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kelsey Mitchell Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Dont really care about the looks, was wondering more along the lines of how hard would it be to do? I know new mounts, ecu, exhaust, driveshaft, intake and IC. Of course brakes and suspension upgrades as well but really just wondering about the engine and drive line for the moment Cheers!

utvolman99 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 There are quite a few "Monster Miatas" out there. I dont know how easy it is to find ford 5.0s in NZ but Im not sure how much more one would weigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zachb55 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 i think you would find a lot of info about that at RX7forums.com (i think that's the site, it didnt used to work sometimes but give it a try) the people there probably would lead you in the right direction for sure. i bet one of those would handle like no tomorrow, not a very good car for a tall person though, my mom had one when i was in 8th grade about and i was around 6' 2" then and had to jam myself into it.... -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 500SX Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 You could also check the Miata engine swap board http://forum.miata.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
