Don't waste your time. You can put any engine into any car you want. You just have to have the money and the enginuity to do it. I saw a dyno from a B6 miata (non-turbo) and with a 50 shot of nitrous it only had 115hp at the wheels, seems extremely shitty doesn't it.

well there are many turbo'd Miata motors running 300+hp all day long without any problems, plus you can squeeze some good power out (200+hp) of an all-motor Miata engine if you spend big bucks on it.

Either of those would sure be fun in an FC but I dont think there are any mount kits that make this a drop-in conversion so you'd be spending a lot of time on fitment and fabbinnng mounts, etc.
