scannon Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 When one Chevy V8 just doesn't do it for you.
11Budlite Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I think I'd stick with one of these if I wanted more power: [/url]http://www.flyinmiata.com/V8/ I wonder which would be quicker in the 1/4 mile?
speedwagon Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 based on experience I can tell you which is quicker around the 1/4 mile, however you make the loop. went for a few laps with their driver on the Grand Junction go-kart track, very high G forces!!
Hank Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Wow, he found a way to make a Miata even more gay!
bsimon Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I once got a ride in a Kenworth W924 with a 16V71 (2X 8V71) jimmy engine wedged into it. I think the turning radius was smaller than that twin engined Miata. Handling was probably very similar as well.

You have completely lost me.... what are you talking about ????
speedwagon Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 S1Steve; sorry was talking about previous link to flying miata's lsi car. was awsome and could be quite docile.
S1Steve Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 S1Steve; sorry was talking about previous link to flying miata's lsi car. was awsome and could be quite docile. Wish I could shove a LS1 in my car.....
speedwagon Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Wish I could shove a LS1 in my car..... ` you can. looked closely at that option with mine, as despite having previous experience with rotaries they are not my favorite engine (loud and stink like a 2 stroke). might have to use a t-5 to fit but I did not get that far. Fell into a fresh build turbo-2 engine and have the engine management computer and turbo for about 350hp and a different turbo would get about 450 fairly reliable. But if this changes it is a lsi, stop! my advice would be; sell it unmolested and buy a sorted stalker ( or if speaking of a Miata send it to flying Miata or buy one done) they will start showing up soon. forgot that you had a Miata.
