Any SHO Miatas out there?

Wondering if anyone on here has done/knows anyone that has successfully done a SHO swap on their Miata?

Tons, dude. There's 3 on my block. Very popular and easy swap.

That sounds like allot of effort to make 240hp...
Have you seen how tiny the turbos on the 4th gens are though?

It does, but they're pretty cool motors.

"cool" isn't really a great criteria for picking a swap candidate. I suspect that V6 is going to have all the same requirements as an LS swap (firewall clearance, new front subframe, new transmission, PPF replacement, new diff, rear subframe modifications to mount it, new axles, etc), and when you're done you'll have spent more to get a motor that weighs more and offers less power potential.
