Mainly because the engine was not designed to go in a Miata and the chassis was not designed for th power. It can be done, we installed a single turbo 13b-rew with a Power FC etc etc. But there was nothing plug-n-play about the conversion. Lots of custom fabrication

thank you Banzia for the pics....and for clearing it up that it is NOT impossible jus a challenge....especially since i love things that are a thinking game......
after all I have done a DATSUN 120y which is similar to your datsun 510 etc..with a rotary swap PP ......pulled the engine back a whopping 12 inches into the cocpit and ran 10000 rpm all day...
Also did a suzuki samari which you know as a older vitara I think....ran it rear wheel not aall 4

but any way as far as chassis goes this has already been quite reinforced below and will be aquiring strut braces and rear mid frame bracing as well.....hopefully it can handle it...come to think of it..a convertable is usually much more rigid in construction from a normal sedan...to compensate for twist and other torsional movement....and plus there are many guys out there useing Miata 1.8 with over the Hp i will be running ....not to mention Ford V8 blocks..which i dont really like...that would be an issue of handling for sure...

all I need is a replacement for the ecu using somehting stand alone to run my igntition and fuel......should be good after that

cheers
