ive got the miata and the whole drive traine out of my wrecked fc. so i was wondering if any body made a kit or if any of you had any suggestions. i searched the engine conversion part of the forum and didnt find any thing. any help would be great. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

apparently it there is a kit but ive never seen a picture. i think you basically have to build motor mounts and it goes right in. the miata tranny will work if you put a rotary bellhouing on it

on a similar note. Won't the 6 speed miata tranny fit in an FC? If so can it handle the power of a turbo?

I think someone very recently posted about a kit, which included a modified oil pan. But I'm pretty sure you'd have to modify either the oil pan (slimmer) or the tranny tunnel (make it higher). The rotary engine would sit too low in the engine bay, causing the oil pan to hit any bumps. Or so I've gathered.

Right, I think the tranny tunnel gets rebuilt on most conversions.

The problem is the output shaft of a rotary is in the middle of the engine , where as it's at the bottom of the piston engine, so everything is too high when bolted into the miata.

It's not a bolt in that's for sure. There is quite a bit of fab work involved.

Good luck.

here's the guy with the kit: link

thanks for the info and help guys. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

what kind of miata do you have?

its a 92 with a hard top. bought it at a junk yard with a blown motor and tranny. payd 750 for it.

talked to the guy at mazsport. he said the kit was 95% done. no price yet.
