GOT BooST? 07-20-2003 05:09 AM

Hey there, just wondering if anyone has undertaken this conversion? Is it excessively hard? Could it be done relatively cheaply? What sort of times should i expect from this combination? (on stock boost, with exhaust)



All your help is appreciated.

I dont think so and it probly would be hard.Could it be relatively cheap? It depends on what relatively cheap is to you?

anything will fit with the propper application of a plasma cutter and a mig welder. ive wanted to put a 13bt in a miata for a long time, just not enught cash. hell, if a 302 v8 will fit, a 13bt should be a snap!

They will fit. I have a na 13b in a 90 miata. Still working out the bugs. Can't keep axles under the thing. From recent research, I believe that the front and rear subframes will bolt right up. If so the only thing that would have to be done is to move the tranny tunnel up and the center of the firewall back (see welder and plasma cutter). Possibly shorten the drive shaft.
