and oh yea i got a cuzin in Maryland that has a race-prepped miata i think '91 with almost everything including No5

A Rotary engine wouldn't be able to fit in a Miata, that's why.

Have you lost your mind!!!? Have you seen a rotary engine in real life?!? The 2 rotars are around the size of a 3cyl engine, and the 3 rotars are a tad longer than the 4's

For gods sake, people have put V8s in miata's.

The reason they were no oriented to the miata, is that they don't meet emmissions regulations very well.

Depending on the year of miata, you will have to meet emissions guidlines (depending on state) but if you are in Canada, go nuts, no one tests anything.

To swap: ECU or Carb from donar vehicle, all the engine ect, and an adapter from your current transmission to the rotary. MAKE SURE YOUR ROTARY HAS GOOD APEX SEALS!!!

A Rotary will not fit in a Miata, unless you rip out half of your interior. Even then, it ain't a Miata anymore. You'll handle slightly better then an Excursion.

viper u dont know anything, iv seen someone put a v8 in a 510, hence THEY MADE IT FIT, as for mazda miata YES it will work learn your facts before u talk, bench racer

 

[risingson77]

Viper Zero, go here and educate yourself on the Wankel engine.

And look at LoudMusic's title before you offer your opinion again.

 

[MazKid]

The 13B will and has fit into Miatas. Several people have done it with exellent results, and it's rumored that Mazda might put the renesis in the Miata.

Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner.

Do you know what the **** you are talking about?! :reallyodd:

A ROTARY ENGINE IS SMALLER THAN AN INLINE 4! HELLO? any brains in there?!

 

[Solid Fro]

I stand by my facts. Sorry.

From Miata.net:

Can I put a V6/V8/Rotary engine in my Miata?
With enough modifications, generally anything can be done. Monster Motorsports is known for their Ford 5.0 V8 conversion., With a turbo/supercharger their Miatas can develop over 300HP! Rotaries present a problem, however. The form factor just will not lend itself to dropping into a Miata engine bay. The gearbox linkages just won't fit without major modification to the interior as well as the engine bay.

Our personal opinion: With a V8 engine, it's no longer a Miata. It may look like one, and it may be fast as all getout, but it won't handle like one. And the Miata is known for its handling.



1mic: If you don't like my help, why didn't you PM MazKid yourself instead of a thread. You don't want my help, then fine, you won't get it again.

why is it that a turbo'd rotary can to a 7 second pass and a twin turbo'd viper can only muster 10???

yeah rotaries suck...********

 

[DessViperV-10]

rotary suck,my OPINION

********!

 

[Dudebusta]

if rotaries suck...V10 vipers must really suck the big one

 

[DessViperV-10]

ldid i say anything about vipers?!!!



I said rotaries suck,did i say anything about vipers in the post above? NO!

stupid dickless bastard

 

[Dudebusta]

you said nothing about vipers but if you are bagging an engine that can send a car down the strip over 3 seconds faster than an 800hp V10 can, then that V10 must suck worse than a rotary.

i am a senior mechanical engineer (not stupid), i have a dick (not dickless) and i also have a father (not a bastard).

if you want to dislike rotaries, explain to me why.

 

[DessViperV-10]

1.have low compression
2.i,said,they are ok,but suck
3.hense the word "suck" i mean-they are alright
4.i perfer pitons....


sorry for the confusion...

i flipped cause i hate being called "********"

Fair enough, but notice when they talk about handling problems they mention the V8 option. I don't think the rotary would adversely affect handling unless you had to place it well in front of the wheels.

 

[Simon Tibbett]

I have seen a rotary in a Miata done by a tuner. Rotary engines are very small!

 

[risingson77]

I was looking for some pics of a 13Bed Miata. Know of any?

That's what happens when you try to start an argument without facts, then resort to petty name-calling. Please don't deny it, I don't have the energy to argue with another person who won't take personal responsibility, just look back at the things you've said.
