Interesting. Dollar amounts?
As NC's get older this might turn into one of the cheapest good-HP mods (like NB->NA swaps became)
That firewall though...I wouldn't call it "here" since it's not even running, we can't buy it right now and this seems like a race only thing. :lol:
Can you still access all the valve cover bolts? Exhaust manifold?
I think this is the test mule but either way it's going to be a great option if it comes to life.
This seems very interesting. I assume it would need an nc transmission.
I like this idea, all Mazda under the hood!!!!!!!!
yes and 2.0L or 2.3L is a big motor for that chassis with some serious potential
Also how would the exhaust manifold work? The chassis is made to accommodate an exhaust manifold on the driver side, and the nc has it on the passenger side.
That's really cool! Love to see what becomes of it.. I agree.. As the NC gets older, more n more get wrecked or come down in price this becomes very doable.
We are just getting started here, no plans for production. We had a handful of drive lines from other conversions and a roller SM. The goal is to use as much of the NC items(rad, trans, drive shaft etc) and achieve a true 50/50 balance.
No plans ever?
Production kits would be street orientated. We may look into this later down the road.
Our goals for this build and the mounting systems would differ from a production street kit. We have recessed the engine back to achieve better balance and will be using a semi sold mount.
I would love a street kit.
