13b for 93 miata

I've considered a diesel swap... I'm waiting for the BMW 120D engines to age a few years so I can pick one up cheap and import it. They rev to about 6K and make good power and torque. They also get about 3X my current city fuel economy. I bet with a slightly larger turbo and some stage 2 injectors I could make that engine perform very well. I won't be doing that to this car though, I'll get one that's a little more beat up and use it as a DD.

Yup, and there's a guy up the road from me with a p-port in his 70-whatever rx7. Last time I was over, he fired it up for me and we rode around the block. It was so loud, one of his neighbors called the cops. He was shifting at 10k.
