20B in a miata would be craaaazy. Say goodbye to your tranny, driveshaft, and rear end



There is someone with a supercharged one around my neck of the woods, and I was privileged enough to ride in it. Thing was seriously SICK!!! And last I heard it was for sale.

a rew motor in a miata with a conservative t04 turbo would be absolutley **** your pants crazy.



a 20b would be like putting a v8 on a go cart, not my style but with enought money....

yes the 20b miata is possible. I also heard of a 20b miata but i thought it was in australia (kind of a rumor in my eyes). It doesnt matter really if it has been done before. IM DOING IT!!!! in the shop now!

i have the 1990 miata

ford rear axle 8.8 373gear

turbo2 tranny (it will be destory and i have the next tranny worked out already)

ACT clutch

ACT prolite flywheel (counterweight from the auto tranny...i know i know )

gt42 (the 53 trim....1.15a/r)

microtech lt12s (on order)

780cc primaries

1600cc 2nd

46mm tial

tial bov

dakota digital gauge (ready to order when needed for speedo issue due to the ford rear and 20b/v6 style tach configuration)

boostcontroller (so i can stay low boost on street and not twist the car like a stick of gum in its wrapper)

unorthodox racing rollcage (certif. to 8.5sec 1/4 and easy to upgrade) IN THE WORKS

FMIC by JBE racing

and RAD custom spec.

manifoldsand mounts by JBE racing

this is going to happen in the near future so be on the look out for pics
