I seriously want to adapt a D16 to a miata trans and flip the differential. From what ive heard people have successfully spun a lot of transmissions backwards without trouble.
D16 would be mad lightness and could be built to make 300hp like cake. Hell with how cheap the turbo manifold and and internals would be, it would make up for a lot of the cost of the adapter plate and such.
Of course there is still the oil pan issue, but with the motor being so short it may not be an issue.

All-aluminum, compact direct-injected V6 with VVT and tons of torque. It's a mini LS with almost the same power figures as an early 2000's 5.3 v8 LS.
Good.
As for Mr. 1L EcoBoost... Seriously? Why are you going to take the 1.8L out that makes 138 hp stock and put in an engine that makes 120 hp stock? Doesn't make sense to me. Yes it'll be lighter but it's too tiny.
