Im starting to work out what i want to do with my 99 mx5 engine once ive finished my mk1 escort which is not to far away

Ive got my full AVO turbo kit wich came off my NA6 but i want to make my current mx5 a lil different and thats why im considering a flyin miata stroker kit. Ive sent them an email for more info and costings but im going to speak to my engine builder and see if we could get one made up over here ( would just be the crank) the rest is easily ordered. The main thing is the costing of geting the kit over here and the tax i would have to pay, thats why il see if a crank could be made up here still wont be cheep tho but well worth it. flyin miata say that the kit will still allow the engine to rev to what it normally does which is good but ive always known and been told that when you stroke an engine it wont rev as much as what a non stoked engine would... any thoughts on this would be great

Would like to know what your thoughts are on the flyin miata kit

Thanx, Mark

I enquired with mania about this (keeping in mind im also going boost) and they said when going turbo, it isnt worth it. Give them a ring

I could be mistaken, but I am fairly sure that Yager Engines in Qld have alerady produced a stroker crank for an MX5. I think it was a stock one with an offset grind.

Brian can probably elaborate?

Thanks heaps for the info guys

My engine builder is looking into it all for me and working out whats gunna be worth doing

Hey Daz, With my escort ive built up a very hot 2lt pinto motor which would be good for around 180-200 bhp.Put all mk2 suspension and ventilated discs on the front with the larger calipers off a mk2. Im just organizing some forest flares for it and that will be the next thing to do and then resprayed Cant wait!!!

awesome, would love to check it out when it's done.[/quote]



No probs mate Ive just found a guy who builds race cars for a living and they fit up the flares, will keep ya posted on how it goes
