Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / May 20062.3L NC. Possible?
The current 2L MZR-LF has a 2.3l big brother, the MZR-L3. (Mazda 3's can come with either.) Would it be possible to fit an MZR-L3 out of a wrecked Mazda 3 into a 2006 Miata? Just wondering... > The current 2L MZR-LF has a 2.3l big brother, the MZR-L3. (Mazda 3's can > come with either.) Would it be possible to fit an MZR-L3 out of a wrecked > Mazda 3 into a 2006 Miata? The 2.3 is allegedly too tall to fit under the NC's hood. It also doesn't behave like a sports car motor.

It couldn't behave like any less of a sports car motor than what Pontiac sticks in the Solstice. Signaturetooloud Remove nothing to reply That's true. Maybe it also could come with a transmission that has poorly spaced gear ratios! Chris 99BBB >>> The current 2L MZR-LF has a 2.3l big brother, the MZR-L3. (Mazda 3's >>> can come with either.)

Any engine can be put into any car, the question is why? Would it be cost effective? You'll gain 10 flbs of torque at 500 less rpm and lose 10 hp at 200 less rpm. Is it worth the price? You'd be giving up the warranty so.... why not put in something with a little more oomph such as: http://www.diamondmotorsport.com/greenmiatas.htm Or get really serious: http://www.unlimitedexcitement.com/Miss%20US/Allison%20V1710%20Engine.htm 2,250 hp should be a noticeable improvement in a Miata I think, you'll go even faster if you paint it white! > why not put in something with a little more oomph such as: > > http://www.diamondmotorsport.com/greenmiatas.htm LOL.... I don't want to work under that hood !!! But I'd take the performance improvements.... > Or get really serious: > > http://www.unlimitedexcitement.com/Miss%20US/Allison%20V1710%20Engine.htm ....Now you've done it. You've obviously been "drinkin'" >>The current 2L MZR-LF has a 2.3l big brother, the MZR-L3. (Mazda >>3's can come with either.)

You would have to stretch the front of the car by about four feet to fit the engine in and have a hood bulge to large to look over. Also, you'd need one helluva rear end to handle all that torque....

Then aim the rear end at the yard, rev the engine once and you've got a GREAT leaf blower! >>>http://www.unlimitedexcitement.com/Miss%20US/Allison%20V1710%20Engine.htm >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Nah.

Yeah, anything is possible, but converting it from a fwd application to a rwd application would be a bugger. > The current 2L MZR-LF has a 2.3l big brother, the MZR-L3.
