Thumbs down

Is it possible to fit a 13B Twin Turbo into a '99 Miata? If so.. what new parts/ mounts would I need besides the engine (DUH ), Mounts, and custom exhaust manifold? Also... are there any aftermarket mounts that i could buy.. or would i have to make them...

We have built two here.

Like anything, can be done but would be expensive if you paid for the work rather than did it. When you stick a 13Bt in there it's noticable that there are shapes & recesses in the body pressings that line up with RE bits like the turbo compressor & clutch fork.

Mazda definately were thinking about it........should have made them!

Mazda's hydrogen powered MX-5 had a rotary in it.
