Very interesting.
Why put the air box on the exhaust side. Cross flow head?
Would like to know what this thing puts out.

would be quicker, easier, cheaper and more powerful just to drop the whole mazda engine in. Plus you'd get a reliable and cheap 5spd.

Got told by a mate (who is a mazda tech kind of guy) the head is a 323 familia head with a modified FWD plenum.

Harry is correct, if you can do your own machine work it is one thing to do this but if you have start paying then it would get pricey fast. This is very cool but if your after more power there are simpler ways.
With all that said I really like it, I suspect that the power out put is similar to 1.6 Mazda 115-120 in stockish trim. There is a weight advantage as Miata motors are a bit porky around 100lbs more than an series.
Any way to find out exactly what was done to make it work? I'd love to know.

Familia head is same as mx5 b6 or bp 1.8 motor. Except familia is fwd or awd.

Same as ford tx3 for us aussies

Whats the unfamilia head produce?

Just going off what race prepped Miata engines put out, I'd expect 200-220HP but keep in mind that will only go 10-12 hrs before needing rebuilds. I'd say 175HP for a N/A and streetable engine while that doesn't sound like much it's equal to a full race A14......keep in mind it's a guess on my part.

The unfamila head spits doesnt flow well at all and is definately choked down..
But I use e85 to wash the taste out

there is a turbo version of this Mazda engine would be a very nice setup,

I would like to congratulate this dude who has done it and sorted it out.
Seems its running an electric water pump, some other front pulley to run
the alternator, blocked the timing gear oiling for the belt unit and the
pushrod area most likely to avoid oil issues.

I would love something like this with carbs to show the corolla guys
that A series can rock even harder than a K series.













also the bp rwd head could be used in that case as the bp is 78mm bores, the rocker cover and inlet for the B6 is dope!http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mazda-miata-1 ... 15%26sd%3D251358742894%26

heres the turbo version big hp

and the narrow angle Z6/M head same stud pattern and is the nicest and also a very narrow sohc 16v and 12v version too!
