opinion's please (engine swap)

[Poodles]

oh, a MIATA???

there is a place that throws 5.0's in em....and let's just say they're a bit on the scary side...

you're gonna have issues with traction with any of your options IMHO, even the stock motor with a turbo is pretty nasty in those cars...

personally? I'd throw the S2000 engine in it and have fun int he twisties where the miata belongs...

 

[JASONA70]

RB or LS1 torque ftw!!!

 

[Poodles]

noooooo FTL!

he'll get zero traction and break stuff if it's not beefed up...

RB's don't have torque either...

 

[JASONA70]

a lot more torque than the rb :biglaugh:

 

[super.secret.supra.club]

RB26. Those things are bad ass. My homie Smokey puts them in MK4's and goes 200+ MPH all the time.

Smokey-san FTW! :evil2:

 

[Poodles]

miatas with built engines with huge turbos are damn NASTY little cars, and it doesn't jack up their balance THAT bad...

Sry if im not posting very often but im mostly reading what u have to say to figure out what the hell im going to do with a 1993 miata.:evil2:

But i really do appreciate all the help that is sure to come out of the supramania members...im mean after all we do all own supra's!!!:icon_bigg

Why would anyone want to put an Iron block V8 in a car? Ford 5.0L or SBC 350. The only choice is clear, LSX.

 

[supraguy@aol]

If it's a Miata, I'd put a rotary in there. I think it would sound great, and you'd make more power than you could use.

 

[cartel1_950]

why use a RB26?? cost you more money to switch everything over from AWD to RWD. just use the RB25. close to the same engine just single instead of twin turbo

 

[Doward]

We've got a guy in G'ville that was at the track with an LS1 swapped Miata.

FUCKING SICK.

I'll be doing an LS2 in my wife's Miata, most likely

Throw in a 3E motor ... make sure it's a carburetor model too.

LOL

Honestly, that motor has been the least reliable POS I've ever dealt with.

For a Supra swap, Lexus V8 only! Anything else is an abortion.

I'll even tell you the hot set-up: 1uz block w/ 3uz heads. If someone wants to know I'll explain.

 

[Poodles]

I'll second the rotory since that was mazda's original plan...

I've seen that, actually. 1UZ w/GETRAG, right?

2uz bottom block with a 1uz head

 

[cartel1_950]

miata + 13b rotary would be a beast

LS1>*

:icon_bigg There are a lot of people on my local forum who blindly preach the ls1 and ls1tech.com so that emoticon gets used a bunch!

I vote 5.0. Especially since a company makes kits to help the swap. That's something i've wanted to do for a while now.

 

[Boost Lee]

I'd love a 5.0.
