RB25 or RB26 in Miata NA?

[KERSFlybridGT3RSR]

Hi all I am new to this forum. I am a multi-national (I live in the US, Greece, and Canada). I currently have a 1993 Mazda Eunos Roadster Shell that I was thinking of throwing a Nissan RB25DET NEO or RB26DETT N1 into. Does anybody have any insight in this? Its not a matter of the money. I got both the RB25DET NEO and RB26DETT N1 for free from a friend who work at Nissan R&D in Kaminokawa Japan @ the Tochigi Proving Grounds.

Don't quote me on this, but I think the engine is too tall for the chassis. Unless of course, you're a master fabricator and can find a way to make it fit. Once you figure it out you can send me the other one and I'll do whatever you did to make it fit. Everybody wins.

Your a funny guy or a funny girl. Don't know which by way of your picture.

I'd love to get an Audi TT and do a Dahlback conversion (back in the late 90's Dahlbach, did a 2 engined Golf, 2 2.1 5cyl Audi Turbo's and it pushed 900+ hp) but then again even with his own Fab work he was in the hole, for over $250,000. and thats a big ass hole for a Golf

Then there was the MTM Audi TT BiMoto. It had 2 1.8l Twin Turbo 20V 4cyl. 1 fron and 1 back. each with a minimum of 375 hp and a maximum of 501 hp. quite a lot for a car that has a curb weight of 2400lbs.

Both Phat (forum owner) and I met a guy in from Ocala, FL. who installed am RB25DET in a Miata. I have no idea, what it took to be done, but the car looked and sounded MEAN. The builder also said, that the car was quite a bit nose heavier. I imaging that a front subframe from V8 Roadsters would be needed. Good luck, heck of a project!

There was someone trying to gather interest for an engine swap kit for the RB25 motors a few years ago but I don't know what ever became of it. I know a few were produced.

its been done to a NA that's purely for drag use but I can see it working on the road fine.

Its a bit tight but it fits
