Yes! more detailed updates here:
K24 Miata swap... finally a reality - Page 9 - K20A.org .:. The K Series Source . Honda / Acura K20a k24a Engine Forum

Basically, the car running and fully drivable, just is open header right now. I've put a few miles on it, everything feels great.

Phase 2 is well underway - I have a V8 roadsters subframe installed, with the steering rack put back to its stock location. I had a custom CNC'd oil pump adapter made that works in conjunction with an RSX-S oil pump, so the rack/pump clearance is good. Now we are just modding the steel oil pan so everything clears nicely.

Once thats done, we just have to finish the exhaust and get it on the dyno.

After that, we will have a 100% functional K24 powered miata that retains factory steering geometry. How about that?

Very nice. Any idea what the time frame is looking like until the first kits would be available for sell? Just a ball park estimate.

hats off to you guys for seeing this through and making the effort to modify the oiling components to keep the factory rack location.

stage 3 = cartel killers,hood exit header,kinsler itb,14.0:1 + E85 !!!!

I know you don't want to give pricing but I'm going to ask anyways. What do you think the ballpark cost would be for the swap components? I saw you mention it'd be similar in cost to a k-series swap in an EG but I'm not familiar with that cost. :party:

I'm about to turbo my 93 but this swap is a lot closer to what I would like in the car.

I would imagine between 5k-7k depending on how cheap you get the motor. He said he is using V8roadsters subframe, thats a god $1500+ right there

That's the ballpark I'm thinking. I was guessing $2500-$3000 for subframe, adaptor plate, flywheel, and oil pan but wanted to make sure I wasn't in fantasy land.

Yes, I realize a turbo kit will still be cheaper. Its all about what your reliability and power goals are, and what the car will be used for.

I'm sure you've had a ton of offers but if you need a 90-97 for mock up or measurements, let me know. I don't use my car between October and April and I live in Gurnee.

Yeah, k series motors are super reliable on track, especially in stock form.

I appreciate the offer, I won't be at that stage for a while, but ideally I'd like to find a customer with an NA that would like to test it out with my help of course. Fitment should be pretty much the same, the only real difference is going to be the fuel setup (NA is a return system, NB is returnless).

You would just run a k-tuned rail with a reg/return setup like swapping into an EG correct?
