<![CDATA[Swap.........avi?]]>I think I should swap a 2.3L turbo from a 1985 mustang SVO into the Miata.

Thoughts?

Also Bryce and Jason have been known to have interracial gay sex.

Once i get some air then Faber's dad will get my pump to do some magic :icon_cheers: ...... then 550-600 wheel DD that does 20mpg

I dont want more than that cuz i want to be able to tow still

Its impossible to give you that information until someone actually does it. The deal is that if you can visiualize it, anything is possible. He obviously has a vision for this and using it I'm confident that he can get it done. You, however, I have no confidence in.

For the fucking around involved vs the power output gained, Your better off turboing your existing setup. Price is going to be cheaper in the long run and no "real" fab is needed. Not to say that fabbing wouldn't be cool but as far as being original... It's already been done. Oh ,and power is comparable. The 2.3 head isn't the best at flow w/o some port work.

that was my point from the beginning, its not a weekend project... so far no one has fullfilled my request for links and parts and cost lists, or a realistic budget, which is what I think Kidsupreme was looking for in the first place besides genereal thoughts. All I've heard is just a "I can do it with some stuff that will probably work" reply.

the fact that everything from your firewall foreward is homemade is quite impressive and comendable, and I respect your skillls for doing so. In fact I will say that you're skills are definately better than mine. But you still have failed to answer my questions and comments specificly and I would like to see a realistic timeframe and budget for this project.
man, we can tell that your a "bolt on guy".... of corse a swap this complicated cant be done in a weekend..... go "bolt on" some parts to your wicked street machine and go away.... if you dont know what you are talking about... stop posting KTHXBYE

You go in knowing its going to cost alot, take longer than expected, and involve alot of fabrication.
Now the cost can vary so widely that shouldnt even be discussed in this thread. If you scrounge a motor for $50, or $500, waiting on ebay for deals on used haltecs, buying a new AEM, or going Megasquirt (the right choice BTW) can also vary from $400 or so up to $1500.
Another thing to consider is how much can you do on your own. I could probably do 90% of the swap with a stick of flat iron, a shear and a welder, all of which i have. But the regular joe doesnt have shit for tools, that will change the cost immensely.
This also affects timeframe. If you have all the above, and all the parts sitting there it could be done in a week or so. Otherwise it could take a year or 2 if your scrounging deals and stuff. I did mine over the course of a winter, and bought what i needed as i needed it. (This included removing the body and rebuilding suspension, all lines, etc.) The thing that actually took the longest was staring at wiring diagrams and waiting on parts.
