LS swap...naw....5 Liter swap...naw....we need some of this
 

I know there is boat loads of potential with both the LS series motors and the 5 liters....but I would love to have a 1uzfe in my car....theres just something about it....





I love the sheet metal work around the itb's!

After seeing the two recent Miata efforts and that AE86 in Corpus I've decided I'd like to tackle this project someday.

The smaller displacement 4 valve per cylinder motor seems more in character with the Miata.

Yessir....and the itb scream is fuckin tits!

The camera does this motors awesome ripping sound no justice. It sounds like an exotic Ferrari. My wife and I followed Josh and Spoolin2bars for lunch yesterday and some awesome on ramp racing insued.


Here is a vid he made the other day.

The 1uzfe has always been one of my favorite motors. I'm pretty sure that one of, if not THE fastest 2nd gen RX7 is powered by a twin turbo 1uz...

good god! this is gonna be my next project!

How bout a twin screw....:drool:

:cjerk:

I need to see more videos of this car...I saw that other vid on CR that spoolin posted....

Hmmm...

Bullet Cars: Supercharger Kits & Installation, Performance Parts, and manufacturers of the Bullet V8 Supercar

:drool:

Cspence..............let go steal it! :skid:

With you flares and this recent thread about ITB V8's,:ban?:

Have fun syncing 8 throttle bodies.

:giggle:


I'm all talk....I'd never do a motor swap in my car as much as I say I would....I mean:

1) If you want gobs and gobs of power, the miata is not exactly the chassis to put it in.

2) If you took the money that it would take to successfully pull off the swap, you could build one obnoxious car with the stock motor.

Realistically if I could get my car to the reliable 300 whp range I'd be more than happy....thats more than enough power for the public roads I drive on 99% of the time....shit, I can't imagine that I'm that far off now ;)


On the flare front...don't playa hate, congratulate! :fawk:

Only once you get wheels :fawk:

I still say a turbo'd honda KA motor swap would be nice. The stock motor can take 400+ hp pretty easily. Just need a rwd tranny to mate up to it.

stock internals, stock tranny, stock rear end!

I love the hood .... the exhaust has to be absolutly crazy in person!

i want to say he has a full exhaust all the way back, and the to piping through the finder is the WG dump!

Interesting, Stock s2k motor = 11.0 to 1 O_O

i thought the same thing! from what i have heard he has a incredible tune!

Or is not stock.... I just found out there's an s2k in South Florida Im reading the built thread

S2KI - S2000 Forums -> Miata + S2000 = M2000?

That guy is really cool. It's turbo'd now. (last I heard anyway)

Yea it is..

The V8 supra with ITBs is badass as hell...... i want one.....wish i could hear it going down the road!

We have a 3UZ-FE in our toyota sequioa. For the longest time i've always thought it would be sweet to drop it in the miata

No, he popped with the SC. All his stuff was on sale according to one of the last post of the thread, he's heading for a V8 swap now. "A"for effort, but come to think about it the FC20 is only good N/A. Magna was dropping bombs over there, V-tech fans guys got all pissed because he said that the same power wouldve been achieve with a simple turbo kit on a stock 1.6/1.8. Then hell broke lose with the "2sk > Miata" bs along with the small penis syndrome of miata haters . Oh well seriously what is it with honda drivers, they really think they own the world and that V-tech is the best thing since sex. :facepalm:

after watching that video I'm doing that exhaust in my car now!

shitz sick isnt it! i want to do the same when i go external wastegate! :D

That front subframe they fabbed up is beast. I wonder why the tranny cracked.

that's not the wastegate, if you look at 4:23 you'll see the wastegate dump on the front

ahh! i see it now.....i was wrong:facepalm:

I'm liking the 1UZ idea, though...

im starting to think that the S2K is running a twinscroll turbo! thats really the only reason for twin WG's right? or is the turbo so big that it needs them?
