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?

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?

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

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!
