new swap kit on the market
http://www.speedworks.com.au/mx5.htm
now there is a company making a swap kit for the sr20. Seem like it would be a good swap.
The only issues I ever seen with SRs are powersteering leaking, running a PS-less miata is not a problem compared to a PS-less 240

Hm......That would be Really interesting. I think even an all stock Sr in a miata would be pretty quick. And parts wouldnt be too bad for it if you go on Nico. But, with that price tag, I would rather add another 3k for the V8 Kit Hehe.

I think the pros of this kit,
A) still uncommon
B) parts are getting cheap
C) finding the motors are getting easier and cheaper
D) cost...
in the drift scene I seen sr20 ready for swap at about 1k to 1.5k with ecu and wiring harness. That just really leaves the driveshaft. Plus a **** ton of labor, but they are selling to DIYers.

I work ^^^ there, and sr20 is what we do.
We have stock block sr20s making 3-350 hp all day long, and have been for 3+ years.

Yah the SR motor is great, being a Nissan owner and Part of NICO. I have had chance to own SR's Turbo KA's and now I'm on a RB.
But yah someone here hit it on the head, stock for stock, the SR is pretty much the same engine as the 1.8 liter Miata engine but with out the turbo.
The SR is a fun lil engine though and parts are dime a dozen, getting cheaper by the day , I think a Stock SR engine would be great fun in a Miata thought.
And everything should weight just about the same since the SR is a Aluminum block.
Also don't forget to include the cost of a custom drive shaft to a cost of the SR engine and Mounting stuff.
And if you guys want a lot of good Info on the SR engine, don't hesitate to visit Nicoclub.com

He means the weak miat 1.6 Diff
SR motor is cheaper than a miata motor???? Please show me that, I can get miata motors for 500 that are working perfectly or less other people here can show you where they have gotten motors for less (no fan boys thinking it is one of Gods two motors the JZ and the SR to drive up prices, no MaD TyTe DrIfTa's or LifeStyle playas to drive up prices on the miata yet. Although there is Cubroadster :gay: ).
Torque can be affect by the turbo on a miata, and for the price there are better motors to swap in such as the FE3, you want torque and cheap parts ford 5.0, want more torque LSx motors.
