Anyone know about Miatas?
 

In specific, what can I do with a 1990 Miata?

I really want to know what sort of engine compatability it has, you know what I can swap into it.


Well any help is awesome!

I don't know why you would post that in this section?

Sorry can't help you out. I am not even sure that I saw any Miata guys on this forum.

news and announcements? moved to imports.

oops
 

Sorry posted in wrong section.

thx for moving it for me.

It's all up to you. I have seen some weird stuff jammed into those little guys. Chevy's, SR20DET Nissans, etc...

Did you happen to get a shell? Cage it and have some fun! :thumbup:

I don't know about swaps, but there are supercharger/turbocharger kits available for miatas.

I looked at a miata before I bought my subaru. The miata was so much more fun to drive. :driving:

i kno there is a sweet kit for miatas. it was in SCC's article about kits for NA cars. ill go find it and post it up.

Sick Sick Sick Miata!! :prayer:

That looks pretty bad ass. Definitely not the average miata driver's car.

Wowie, my mouf is hanging open from that one.

I heart that car.


You should figure out how to throw a 13b in there, and TURBO!

I think PJ Bonifacio did that to a miata he built. It was in one of those sport compact mags a while ago.

95nracer...whats in that miata? What kit is that? drool drool drool

you can do anything, but i would talk to Nissan Fever and swap in a blacktop sr20

It's not a "kit" exactly. The fender flares are off of a mazda factory N2 race car. As for the spoiler on his trunk, I don't know. The front lip looks like its from Garage Vary (I think the rear lip is as well, but can't say for sure).

The engine is the 1.8 liter BP with an FMII (www.flyinmiata.com) turbo kit. That kit is good for about 220whp as it's sold, but that car has a lot more than the standard kit (although not too much for power).


As you pass 250hp and start heading towards 300 you will break transmissions (that particular car has a 1999 tranny iirc) and go through engines. The TII RX7 transmission can and is used frequently for guys making lots of power. The bp has a cast iron block and can handle serious power once the other internals are upgraded.

There are cold-side supercharger kits available that offer similar power levels and insane torque and throttle response from BRP and flyin miata. Jackson racing and vortech also make supercharger kits.

Swapping in a nissan sr20 is a waste of time IMO, the stock engines rev wonderfully and can be built for power and turbo'd much easier than an sr20 can be installed. People have a hard-on for that motor(sr20) and I'm not really sure why.

There are lots of 'monster miatas' (v8 swaps), and at least one guy has swapped an f20 out of an s2000 into one. There are also kits available for 13b swaps.

www.miata.net has a wonderful forum where you can get lots of info on anything you will ever want to know, including any of the swaps I've mentioned in this post.

There's tons more links that I can't think of right now, but the most important is the miata net forum, lots of knowledgable people there, and almost all the major miata vendors frequent it.

yea some real "street killers". lol
