Why does paulf, the only non mx5 owner yet to comment, know that only a rover v8 is legal but nothing else is..?

Or maybe a 1UZ.

I just may have had quite a lot of time on my hands for the last 9 months.

Ahhh I see

Wouldn't this be legal as well? http://www.h1v8.com/page/page/1562069.htm

Being a non production engine, probably not. Personally, Id take a sleeved 1UZ, down to 3.8 or whatever the law says.

Have a search for engine swap threads - it's been discussed ad nauseum.

Maybe get a Engine crane, NA service manual, and backyard Mechanic and just do it yourself.

Looks like a real one, might have to migrate to MT charlie!

What manifold/dp you using? Some absurdflow magic?

Manifold and dump pipe im using is a Lovefab one off from the US. These guys build 1000rwhp nsx's. The manifold is awesome and will take anything i give it

gonna send all these pieces off to get ceramic coated when i get the turbo so i can send the tial rear housing with it..
