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 ..... oh the ideas !!!!!

 

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!
