I would love an FE3 miata though :)

Sr is too tall to fit without a lot of custom work. If you want to do a swap 1/2jz or 7m are very good motors and are easier to swap into a miata than sr. I think inline turbo 6's are the best engines, torgue and making tons of power, that's what I would do if I were doing a swap. Dont forget thought that you'll need to swap a rear end to handle all that power and have correct final drive so there more to it and comes out to some very high $$$ amounts
|
any proof that a 2jz would fit though????? I would think that it would be too long....
|
1jz fits, so 2jz should be fine too

1JZ in a Miata
Definitely much larger in scope- especially when you have your ports swap sides. The FE-DOHC swap is by far the easiest swap I've seen (except for the 1.6 to 1.8). Add an F2T crank ($25), 87mm Wiseco pistons ($500) and you have 2.3 liters. |

FE as in FE-DOHC (commonly referred to as FE3 because of the casting on the cylinder head). Mazda's F series of engines are the "big block" 4 cylinders.
Lots of info here. Pics of a 2.0 installed. |
I wonder how boost friendly the FE is compaired the BP... :)
|
do you feel a difference with the fe.
|
Thats bad ass. If I only had the money............
|
Based on existing swaps, the FE3 loves boost like the BP. The car had a sc'd 1.6 before, so yeah it's a little quicker. ;) Hope to do some more tuning/sorting over the holiday. FE3s sell for no more than $800 (plus freight). The intake manifold is a 1.6 top welded to an FE3 bottom. That's about $200 of fabrication. I did the rest using my scrap metal and parts pile. It's less about money and more about time.

And that was on his first lowboost completely untuned dyno |
Last I heard that FE3 Miata was making 530atw and the owner was aiming for 600.
