It\'s the FC 13B though. But I do agree it does need twins...

big singly turbo would be perfect, the car is very light so it shouldnt suffer from the lag too much

and thanks for the link mate

mm I think the big challenge is moving the steering rack/box.

There has been a MX5 with a rotary with a big single over in the states

Twins would be too much hassle as there isn\'t a lot of space. For the performance a big single would be better anyways.

I had the mag with the feature on the oz one and his biggest problem was going through (very expensive) Mazdaspeed MX-5 LSDs like they were going out of fashion! I think he blew 4 diffs and 6 gearboxes on 8 psi (or something similar) with a mildported 13B-T (FC) with a top mount intercooler.

Steering rack needs to be moved forward an inch and gearbox was a combination of S2 RX-7 and MX-5 (similar to S3 RX-7 but with longer input shaft).

If you want any more info send me a pm. :)

That sounds like an interesting project.
i have a good friend who has a Veilside kitted mx5. Something like that under the bonnet would give it the go to match the show. Will mention it to them :)
