crazy swap idea.. VR6t
With all of the other engines that find their way into a Miata's bay, I'm pretty surprised I haven't seen any VR6 swaps. They're light(ish), bigger displacement, great sound, etc. There are even RWD versions. Oh, and they make sick, sick power when turbocharged :)
Has anyone entertained the thought or perhaps even seen one? |

Has anyone entertained the thought or perhaps even seen one? I'd love too, but its too much work. I still have a 2.9l forged motor in my garage that ran a t3/t04 and put down 380whp on a chip with an o2 clamp. Its a pretty tall motor though, I doubt it would fit. A 3.2 would be insane in a miata. yes, it is the best sounding engine ever put together. I love getting two next to each other on the highway, and the cool dissonance. |
By VR6, do you mean the engine in the Stealth/3000GT?
If so, it'd be easier to get a pushrod V8 in the engine bay than a DOHC V6, especially if it were twin-turbo'd. It'd be too tall and wide. As with anything, it could be done with enough time and money. Nevermind, I'm thinking of the VR4 :crx: You're talking about VAG's VR6...narrow-angle V6? Yeah, that'd have a much better chance of fitting. Probably pretty tall engine, though. |
or do a KLZE and call it a day!
|
or a CA-18DET/KA24DE (or maybe t? LOL)
(240 guys know what im talkin about) |
Friend of mine is using a CA18DET for his Locost build :)
|
i'm seriously considering getting another NA and throwin a built CA in....it would be a beast...but then again so would a built supercharged KA24.....:eek5:
|
Dude, there's another 1.8L engine that was built to be turbo'd and would be much easier to swap in a Miata... [wait for it...wait for it]
It's the 1.8L BP Miata engine! :D Seriously, I can't imagine swapping in another 4-cylinder of like displacement...makes no sense whatsoever. |

Every time you add another hamster the maintenance goes up two fold, i thought everyone knew this... Jesus, get real. |

Thats way too fucking expensive, and way too much upkeep involved.

topic<---- ----> yous guys
:) Brian: the VW/Audi VR6, from 2.8-3.6 liters. My pref. would be the 24v 3.2L. Ruger: SR20s are easier and have been done at least 3 times, that I've seen anyway. And they're the only AL 240SX engine IIRC. Savior: for the hassle, if I was going to do a 2.0L 4cyl. I'd rather have an F20C or SR20DET. Both have been done and aren't as heavy as the EVO's closed-deck iron block, and they have RWD transmissions available. |
Im the only person I think that would be stoked on a K series honda swap :)
do they still spin the wrong way? |
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a mazda 2.0L that bolted up to the Miata trans and was stronger than the SR20det? ;)
|
That's crazy talk! Next you'll be saying it's possible to swap interiors:gay:
