Renisis Engine Upgrade

[Duj]

It is possible to put a renesis engine into your mx5,
But, you will need to mount the engine as low as possible in the bay due to the tall injection manifold, also you will need a custom crossmember,mounts, most probably need a custom sump and oil pickup.
then the engine has a fly by wire throttle and the only aftermarket computer capable of running it is a motec brand($$$$)
unless you have a factory computer thats been recalibrated with the differential sensor removed.
unless you got some big $$$$ and a lot of motivation it wont happen.
what about a 13b turbo? or an extend port? or even a tough j or peripheral port??
I have a complete conversion kit to suit a 13b/13bt but no ones man enough to do it.

unless you get an engineers report on the car,
no its not legal,
i have a 12at in mine which is very quiet with no bov and i have no dramas with police, it doesnt even get looks.
if you keep it quiet and be sensible it will be fine

thats awesome, i wouldnt attept something like that

[Duj]

Yes i have both mags with the 2jz and the 20b,
both cars have a tube frame front end, big $$$$ and even still with the v8 supercar radiator+additional reservior the 20b mx still ran really hot.
the front ends on these cars look quite ugly\any more rotary mx's?
perhaps someone could post their pics up?

SR20 for teh win!

SR20 for teh win!

No no
Its a mazda and therefore needs to have a rotary! would be best suited to a s6 motor with a single turbo conversion,
that would be so smooth!

Yeah, but us Nissan boys like to have cars that spend more time on the road than off

Fuel isn't free either!
