i saw the video on youtube of the rb25 miata. does anybody know this person or have any pictures or any info on this miata. i need to find out because i want to do that same to my miata. thank you

Just a thought, you try sending him a MSG on YouTube?

If an RB25 will make a 240SX a nose-heavy pig, imagine what it would do to a Miata.

If you have the resources to do the amount of fab work needed to fit the motor and associated drivetrain, why ask what needs to be done?

i sent an email to the youtube person, but he said it isnt his car. he just found the video and posted it.

i understand that it will make it nose heavy, but it wont be as bad as a ls1, or an ls2, that i have been seeing all over the place.

i just want to talk to him to see how the car has been driving for him. i have driven an ls1 miata and a 302 small block miata. i loved them both but i liked the way the engine looked in his car. so i would just like to see how it drives and how it looks to see if i really want to go with that or something different.

RB25DET Alone
+ Five Speed 700 lb complete

Chevy LS1
459(automatic)
503(manual)

I'd say it'll be a bit more nose heavy

i know how "BOSS" the ls motors are. i have driven plenty of them. and the jdm crap is just crap. but how many inline 6 miatas do you see. i want to be different. is that a problem. i have seen one rb miata and a thousand of everything else. sorry i dont want the engine you think is better for me... its my car and i dont care about all the bad thing about the rb its what i want.

There's another with an rb swap discussed about a year ago. FE3's are still a little rare too.

Buy this instead.

what does an FE3 come in. i havnt heard of one.

i would love to buy that rx7. but its already a done project. i want something that i built myself...and by the time the bidding is over it will be more than i can afford

 

[rotor pusher]

LostSoulMiata...i saw the thread of your miata...what is the name of your color? the color i am painting mine is called sweet coffe and its close to the color of yours. i really like it

thanks for that...i use yahoo and it didnt give me any info

 

[rotor pusher]

after seeing some engines...i am confused now. i just had to pay a ticket so i am back to a budget...what would be a good engine that i can easily drift with, that will be cheap.

 

[moe]

stock engine, drifting is about skill not power well most of the time add boost and you'll be just fine

 

[jux]

Must've been one helluva ticket to kill your swap budget that much. Good luck with all that...

[superman with heat]

here's the same suggestion i always make when it comes to engine swaps

v6 2.5 klze (1993-1996 mazda mx6)

you'll find them cheap and they sound really really good
