Has anyone heard of a 13b powered miata? i plan on making on and was wondering if you guys knew the difficulty of the swap. what is needed?

i only know of one. so freaking fast

i heard that if the rx-8 and mainly the renesis is sucesful that well get a rotary miata... that wold be some car... 2600lbs and 250 hp? damn finnally a miata even i would try to duck my head into

haha 250 hp? im gonna shoot for over 300, and its not gonna be for drag either, autocross

turbo or n/a ?

that 250 was stock btw for the renesis... modded it would be over 3 easy close to 4... better get your 13b miata going b4 those hit

"We," will not be getting the monster Miata, only a select few in Japan and Europe will have that priverladge. IMO the Miata is pure rotary material however the aftermarket for them is huge. There were like 4 or 5 turboed Miatas at the last Autocross ripping it up pretty good.

I plan on goin turbo. My friend might change to a single turbo and if so, i might buy his tt setup.(stock)

doesnt racingbeat have a 13b miata?

nope



they probably built one. they also built a mazda rotary truck too!

there are a few 13bt miatas down here in miami. all you gotta do basically is engine mounts and tranny mounts as far as i know.

I would go NA personally and put down drafts on it....



Just my two cents of dreaming haha



Jason

Either racing beat or mazdatrix had a TII miata convertion.



I would love to drop a TII engine in a miata. I guess a the motor mounts and tranny moutn would be the challenge other than that, Use a haltech and you are set for low boost power. ANd some suspension tuning.

I"m heard of people swapping out to a TII diff also in a miata.

first off why NA and second, drafts? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

NA is more reliable and cheaper. down drafts are carbeurators (spelled wrong) i think they are webers...... you can make 250HP N/A.......... that would be SUPER fun. the car is sort of quick with 130HP.... my mom has one. if it had 200+ hp i would love to drive it everyday as long as it could rev to 10k rpm https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

how do you convert? what is needed? and what about the different types of ports? this is gonna be a car for autocross only no street. :yum:

they have racing carb setups....

so for this setup i have to go peripheral intake? and where do i get the carbs and all the needed parts? its an 86 engine btw

you need a peripheral intake. they have carb intake manifolds for N/A stock port

mazda's coming out with a rotory powered miata in 2004... WOW... can we say

MONSTER!!!!!

miatas look so stupid

there hella fun to drive though...

We built one here. The FC turbo bellhousing bolted on the MX5 (Miata) gearbox with no mods! We left the box mount where it was. When the motor was placed in the car there is a kink in the chassis rail pressing that allows it to clear the compressor cover. I reckon Mazda had 13Bt Mx5 'mules' from the beginning!

Mazda had a hydrogen powered Miata as a testbed for alternative fuels. I wonder if they still have it?

Sorry I came in a littl elat eon this thread. I saw a 13b miata at mads last fall and it was ******* sick. We got video and hosted it on our website. www.dontbearikki.com

It may bne under the mullet charged video tab.

interesting! i know the stock MX5 trans is a N/A RX7 ..... that means you could put in a 13BT tranny and just get a custom driveshaft made ..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif oh the ideas !!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

There is not a car made that can't be improved by a rotary turbo implant..........even Nissans..... :P

I saw one done in an option magazine the other month. looked real good and on top of that It was a chick that owns it.. :yum: I bet it will cost lots of cash

Cost the doctor dude we did it for about $15K (AUD) for the mechanical part. Thats engine, puter, install, debug. We hiflowed the turbo as well

Drive in asthmatic 100 hp 1.6 drive out stonkin 280 hp 13Bt. I scared him spitless on the demonstartion drive!

He got the car repainted and wheeled while he was at it. No money in medicine!

i know mazda north america built one or two. if i had the room to park it.....



mike

i know a guy named giny with a white miata running 11s with a T04.

Does anyone have pictures of how this was done? I've always read that the car had to be chopped up a lot to cram the 13B in there.

pssssst...

in australia there was a company putting 20bs and lexus v8s in miata(mx5 where i come from) they rebult the front with a tube frame chassis.

bullit roadsters i think

AMEN to that...





And Carbs SUCK. EFI rules. Webers are cool looking and sound great, but everything I read says driveablity sucks. The Problem is the Mazda wants a lot of fuel which requires some pretty big webers (48 or 51 mm), so upper end is good, but the bottem end suffers.

so what do i need to do to put a N/A rotary into a miata?

You can change out the front bell housing on the tranny and bolt up an NA motor. Get the 85 front cover so you can mount it in the front. This will get you the basics.

Or mazsport.net sells a kit to go turboII complete drive train swap. Mine makes 300WHP at 12psi. and I drive it every day to work. This way I show up to work every day with a smile on my face.
