1200-10,000. Depending on the condition of everything.(rebuilt or not, aftermarket shit, ect ect) If we are talking t2 that is. Na always cheaper.
Ok how reliable are they honestly.. not gonna be a daily but will be on the street a good bit.. I have heard about apex seals. But im just curious.
Oh my, we got a fresh one here.
And will probably be na at first.. just to get the swap done and running.
If you dont know much about rotary do lots of research, na is pretty reliable but it really comes down to the owner, my fc had 242xxx on the original apex seals, i wasn’t be easy on the motor either
Na swap would be super cheap.
There’s a lot more to a rotary than apex seals
Ok.. I have done a good bit of research but I want others opinion
Oh trust me I know there is.. lol
Like farts and ky jelly
Buy a rebuilt 12a. Super cheap and Super reliable
Miata trans and rx7 na trans share a lot from each other.
Swap tail shaft housings, that handles everything from the trans back for the swap.
I was looking at a 12a but think I’d rather have 13b
Everything else is kinda self explanatory
Carb and distributor would make it super simplified.
Yea wiring is far from fun and gets costly.
Have the keg rebuilt with some nice port work and you wont be sorry
You should ask @Erik there was a lot of work involved.
If youve got time, money, and a welder, any thing can happen
I believe @Lucky makes a 13b subframe for the miata, they might be sold out right now but you should give them a call up about it. it’s around 2700 but I could be wrong
@Erick u are correct.. I have previously spoken to them.. 2500
I dont think you need any of those things for the swap
What’s funny is I just posted about how awesome the Miata and MX5 is on my facebook page.
I love my miata.. even though its a p.o.s. lol
I have the 2015 as my desktop background. I want to put a 20b in one of those.
Please do it.. then come get me so I can see what that’s like
If I had money for it, I’d have my 2015 by now rofl. I have a 20b sitting in a friend’s garage back in NC. So I’m halfway there.
What u want for the 20b??
It’s my project motor. Not for sale. I’m waiting for the right time for it. I was going to put it in my 2011 Accent hatchback, but that’s going to be a ton of work under the car so I’m having it mothballed until I have my hands on an MX5.
FWD 20b just seems insulting.
Well get a na miata.. like 90
I’m looking at a 2002 or 2008. Those two are my favorites. It’s just a matter of convincing my fiance that I need a second car.
Tell her to msg me.. lol ill tell her to let u get a miata.. lol.. that thing would be so nasty tho..
What? A 2015/6 with a 20b or an Accent hatch with a 20b? Because the Accent would be lulz. Ultimate sleeper car.
Ultimate sleeper but fwd??
But put it in the miata.. I wish they would have brought the rotary back in the new miata..
I’m afraid the rotary is dead for a while. Which sucks because the MX5 needs to have a rotary option. Even if it added 20k to the price tag.
Idk about an additional 20k but 5-10k yea..
At that point, the number wouldn’t matter.
True..
Same brand^^
Check out rotary miata club page. You can get all the info you need there. I’m looking at roughly 5k to do my 13brew swap. I’m good with a welder and build cars for a living, so installing the engine was the easy part. Just finished wiring up a custom harness bumper to bumper. Should be on the street tomorrow.
