My friend has one in his Miata:




He used a 12a front cover with a 12a conversion kit. He's ditching the Weber setup and going with ITB's next. Shooting for 200rwhp.

I'll see if he can PM you.

This is true... I have a miata all stock that I just got 4 weeks ago and runs great and I"m already looking to sell or trade it off for an rx7.

rotary engine in the miata is tooo much mouting work.

I've seen a couple before, they're definitely fast. rotarymiata.com is a good place to check some out.

from what i have read, you need to take the oil pan, reverse it and drill new holes to make it a rear sump. also a new oil pickup

new engine mounts obviously, wiring, driveshaft, exhaust.
its not as cheap as you would think, but they look fun
