Some dude in nocal did an rb26. I'm not sure if he's still around I think he pounded it into a wall like acro 94 does to his boyfriend.
I posted this in the sr20 thread. It's pretty baller advice if I do say so myself (yes I was nice to the noob till he turned into a crying little baby).
This applies to all swaps. Unless you're doing it for S's & G's take the above into deep consideration.

Will cost way too much to do sr20. If I was starting from scratch I could have a well sorted, fully built bp (brand new shiny motor with 0 miles and awesome parts inside) for thousands less. I wouldn't have the headache of engineering afterthoughts either.
If you're going to motor swap fe3 is practical. Anything outside of the fe3 is going to be $$$ and no return on investment in comparison. power to $ ratio.
That said. BOTTOM line. 400+hp deserves a swap look. ANYTHING below is a waste unless you have time and money to burn.
I always think of sweet ideas for swaps.... then realize new platform... or i need to bust out the special helmet and drool bucket.

This idea's been kicked around since at least 09. Less than a minute on Google and found this:
Please read first if you are considering any non-Miata engine swap - MX-5 Miata Forum
Think about your project/idea then search. If your lucky,(like me) the ADD will kick in and you'll be on to the next big thing.

omg it would be great to have banned people still able to log on and not post... is that how it works???? They can see their shitty threads slowly transform into something worth while and awesome.

As far as I know banned users can login and view, they just can no longer post or send pm's and such. I have seen several banned users logged in and browsing the site on several occasions.
