eeww


thats like putting a D series motor in an integra

yeah... no. The BP motor is great and all... and works well in Miatas, Lo-Costs and Super 7 replicars...but not good for a heavier car like that really. You most certainly would have to make your own, one-off, mounts, custom bellhousing, custom drive shaft and other stuff. Meanwhile, there are ready-to-buy kits for V8 swaps that would cost less.

How bout a klze??

Rotaries are garbage. The power of an I-4 with the fuel economy of a V-8. I say go for it. If anything, you'll be original.

i wouldnt say that.....aside from the fuel economy,but id say its more like a V10.

You could go with the Bp in a FC, but like badger said stock for stock you would be goin backwards. Unless you plan a build on it. It would be real nice with a nice potato on it... wouldnt be fast tho..lol i think the Bp prob weighs more than the 13b.. because its iron block.

klze would be an option, the klze bolts up to the miata trannys guts, but the bellhousing is differerent.... but u could get around that..

or you could try the 3.0 v6 jft turbo 3liter outof the jdm mpv..lol

You're an idiot, plain and simple.

What does it take to make power? Fuel. The more power you are going to make, the more fuel you have to consume. You can't make power on air. Learn how a combustion engine works.

1.3L, 255hp stock. How many liters does your car have, and what does your car make stock?
