well the miata a great platfrom all in all, im not sure on the release of a MS Miata though, i did hear that MS is going to be "hyping" up the current Mazda line up though, so who knows?

maybe Stan

The engine is actually pretty well set up for turbos...that's why there are so many kits out there. The original engine for the Miata was actually first used in a turbo 323, I believe. The compression is a bit high for tons of boost, but there are a lot of people running 12-15psi, getting 240rwhp, without any additional beefing. We're running close to those numbers on a 2001 block with a machined 99 head. Lots of suspension mods, but no other engine work.

As long as you don't advance the timing too far (doh!) it'll run fine for a long time.

[McFly]

thanks man. i am trying to decide on what car to make a sleeper. hehe. i thougth a miata would be nice!

The only problem is putting the power down...you really have to modulate the throttle in the car. With the light weight + high hp, you get tire spin like crazy in 1st and 2nd, especially if you're on street tires. :) Sure is fun though!!

[J T]

be cool to see someone drop a rotory in a miata.

[foxyracing]

It would be nice power, but the engine won't fit! The layout and mating to the tranny would require the engine to sit something like 6-8 inches above the current hood line.

[McFly]

damnit! that would be fat. there is a guy up here in the woodlands with a turbo miata, his shit is quick, i rode aroudn with him and it didn't take him long to end third at 99 and at 110, the rear end slid out but was a fun run. i love that car.

EEEPPPP... rear end sliding out... scary thought at 100 mph+.... Miata's are rival of the MR2... don't you think McFly?

wouldnt the fiero be the mr2s rival?

[Pitlab77]

OMG i guess i missed this thread while i was in london. all sources point to a yes.

What i'm not sure of yet is if it will be with the NB or the new NC chassie(next body)

the new mr-S vs the miata... yes...
SW20 vs fiero (kinda) SW20 was marketed as the cheap mans ferrari, absolutely killed the fiero in performance..
AW11 unmatched thats how i see it

[DrKilljoY]
