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.

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
