13B in a Miata.

[drbaltazar]

shame that most that put a rotary in a miata do it to fast !if properly done this can be a beast and this motor is so small it fit almost anywhere if this doesnt fit then i bet most other solution wont fit either on average!

[phudao41]

are you using mia tanny? that would be awsome

[carsRme93]

Sick swap....and rotaryisgarbage is dumb bitch

[aquito04]

That 13b sounds amazing..

[briankimbrell97]

13Bs need flex pipes!

[TheRealFobican]

Damn that´s a small engine! How many HP´s?

[xstr33tr4cerx]

i think the simple way to go with you shaking problem is just an engine torque damper

[Arrow69hunter]

Love the carbs on this, I have a raceing beat intake with a holley 650 on my1st gen rx7 and I love my 13B. GET SUM!!

[tristan687]

god i love the sound of rotary and im clade u put 1 in the miata i hate seeing idiots putting V8 in them

[7urb0m4n]

What is that engine from ??

[superduperskaterr142]

did you have to get custom motor mounts? if you did how much did you pay?

[DblJ033]

i truly will never understand a person who puts tthe time and money into a swap and doesnt do it properly. u like driving a fudged up car or something. do it right or keep it stock fagstick

[CoChicken1337]

I do believe you need new motor mounts.

[stoodlesss]

fuck dude

i want a 13b in my miata XD

on a scale of 1-10 how hard was it?

and do you know of a kit to swap?

[kingjunbug84]

holy crap... i know this shit is fucking fast lol... very cool car man

[beyongthepale]

If you look at the space between the engine and the radiator, there's more than enough room for a 20B...

J/K but love the car man, nice job.

[ResidentG33k]

Idle sounds a little rough.

[Rcollinsss]

@ResidentG33k its called a bridgeport

[CN300]

great sound :-)

[SpeedingStudent]

God...it's so beautiful.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Neat swap, too bad the rotary is junk. Try an LS1 next time!

[BOBBYJ420]

@Rotaryisgarbage Why hate? Rotaries are good and can take more abuse than a ls1. Dont get me wrong i love Chevy but to each their own. Im a fan of cars in general not a fanboy whos not even sponsored.

[WunderDoob]

@Rotaryisgarbage

he probably got that rotary dirt cheap. It's still better than the 1.8 or 1.6 that Miata came with. Don't hate, appreciate.

[madjimms]

Sounds killer!

[v8ghostsplash]

yo 13b fits on the stock transmition? any chasis works done?

[WunderDoob]

I think he's missing a mount somewhere.

[TJcars2]

@WunderDoob The front passenger side mount isn't bolted in. If you look closely at 0:19 you'll see what seems to be a missing bolt on the mount. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[WunderDoob]

@TJcars2

oh you're right. Good eye, I didn't catch that.

[ManuelAparicio]

very very clean i admire your work mate!!

[JMZ1482]

are all fd fc and fb motors the same except for turbo ect. like can you put webers on an FD 13b?

[sh3lbot]

you made that lower intake didnt you. only carb intake for a 6 port that i know of is racing beat and it comes with a holley 650 or 600 cfm.i have this set up but i dont like holley. also was it very hard to time this engine?

[SiIviaSr20]

OMFG dude that hella rattles. Is it supposed to do that my RX7 fc didnt do it.

[testacorsa150]

@SiIviaSr20 it´s bridgeported, so the idle will be a little rough. Sounds like goodies, if you ask me :)

[hellsingorg2]

omg god... I just did this for kicks and its actually true... a 13b inside a miata. this could be the funniest shit or the mast bad ass project. either or, im really interested in looking up this project. i want a rx7 fc, but teh body is just too heavy from what iv read. so this just might be the thing i want to do.

[sh3lbot]

lol... wtf are you smoking?

[alxcounty]

i was wondering how hard was it to do this onversion is there any conversion kit available and around how much did it cost u

[AkimboGT]

fuji racing is developing one at the moment. Check their videos of their miata on youtube. It still with the bp engine but it shows that these guys now what they are doing.

[gabaldonrobert]

lol looks like the dam engine is gna get up and walk away from the car....

[blakslayer]

sound like my snowmobile !!

I just **** like this sound!

[qcgimpyqc]

the sound is simply crazy

[derrickoman]

Sir you seriously need to install solid motor mounts, stiffer trans mounts and exhaust hangers, your set up is wasting its own power. props on the swap!!

[TKRPAIN]

@derrickoman ........exactly, needs new stock or poly motor mounts. Any new mounts would be better than the current worn out mounts. Nice engine swap though.

[TireSmoker22]

what does that thing idle at?

[constantine8]

@TireSmoker22 Most bridgeported rotas idle at between 1800 and 2300 rpm this one sounds closer to the 2300 end though haha

[civic910]

that thing like one big vibe lol shit sexi thou love tha sound

[175myles]

You're exhaust is on the ground.

[yerboogieman]

Music to my ears, great choice of engine.

[scandmx5atl]

i agree, lots of miata guys put LS, Mustang engine's in, however i believe in sticking to the brand.

ZOOM ZOOM

[iamhelix]

did you do the conversion your self? if not how much did it cost?

[TheCottonTop]

Love it!

[XR4turbo]

How much did this cost to put together? Thinking about building a bridgeport motor this summer. Miata would be fun to put it in.

[nilo4ever]

I think new engine mounts are in order ;D

Gorgeus car though

[djreact18]

sweet love the miata rotary swap is a mazda any ways fits like a glove

[WalmartProModel]

Oh my god.... This is a total eargasm...

[DARKABSOLX3]

Wow insane Miata!!, am loved with it, the sound is soooo awesome! One of my favorites car are the Miatas, and with bi-rotor engines...they are like a dream car. Im actually interested on a MX-5 I saw in a dealer near I live but is a 4-piston, hope someday I could swap engine for a turbocharged rotary 13b. "someday..."

[slow2000lude]

the exhaust shakes like hell too.. wtf ?

[showmeyuhboobies]

she sounds sexy.....God bless rotaries

[JuanPapaNicolao]

VROOOOOOOMM tk,tkt.ktk ,Brap, brap, brap ,brap,brap,

[VanniGio]

love that sheit!!!!!!!

she could use some solid or some poly motor mounts tho

[BrownLightning]

the reason why it's shaking is because the 13b is such a beast inside the miata. LMAO jk nice build man once my 1.6 dies i'm going rotary! did you use a swap kit or is this all custom?

[nervgs]

Fabricated by Danstory, and he retained the PPF.

[rotarycorvette1]

hey i plan on doing one this winter can you tell me if the speedo and the cluster still work with the miata computer and any thing that you think can help me with my swap i know alot bought mazdas but anything helps!!

[sim9128]

Man good luck to blow up your engine.. :S im runing mine like 2 year with a Greedy turbo at 12psi and it stil runing great and he never took one drop of oil and the internal was stock !!

[Rotaryisgarbage]

@BrownLightning

WRONG

The reason it is shaking is because it has a junk engine in it. i have to hand it to him for the swap but he should have just turboed the stock engine.

[GamerToosmart]

@BrownLightning LMAO is HP waiting to be released

[greenpowercr]

wouldn't be so sure if it's only the engine mounts causing this movement!

[pekingwatanabe]

let me know which does the eg mount from? I selected steel mount then feel is too bad by vibration and noise...

[Hebert6760]

sounds nice love it

but i think it needs solid motor mounts

[gosport86]

what type of porting do it have?

[Eagz]

awesome, although doesn't like to idle on those mounts haha

[Alfazbacchus07]

Wow just look how that 12A just sits so nice in there and probably the idle was up that's why it sounds like that or probably it is a Bridgeport

[herbienbrian]

what do these motors normaly come in?

[JDMEJ1]

rx7

[otter4x4]

Everyone's right- the motor is gonna fall out on a corner or something... lol.

[SSR2696]

That really is some serious engine movement, even if it were an ls1 that wouldn't b right.

Planning on making my next track miata rotary powered, have a built 1929cc jdm 323 gtx on a gt2871 in the other car.

[gosport86]

it sounds like a street ported 6 port 13b

[sh3lbot]

pp miata :)

[anthsbecs]

i think you need some new mounts champ its about to jump out

[theboxmodder]

It is ported. Thats why it shakes.

[sh3lbot]

yay :)

[mvarney10]

no. it shakes because you have shitty motor mounts.

[Markitos203]

he just need motor mounts, besides that.. the thing is bad ass

[fein06]

it has them tho...?

[Markitos203]

it has motor mounts, but they look like they are worn out..

[fein06]

nah thats how a rotor is , check out sum vids from nz

[Markitos203]

I own a TII plus and worked on many rx7s, my motor use to vibrate like that when i broke my mount, new polyurethane mounts and it was straight.

[hitachi088]

Your 13b is badly balanced ...

[e32amgfinatic]

nah i think its a bridge port or something

[myersprostatus]

damn that thing is tremblin like crazy

[celisto001]

what ITB'S are you using?? did you have to modify the LIM to fit those?

[Markitos203]

those look like IDE carbs, plus you could get teh lim from racing beat

[RotaHeaven]

that soundz wicked man i luv the pulse! 10/10

[blackraidon]

I love the sound of a 13b rotary ideling.

sounds like tim allen grunting!

GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT!

[madape13]

What most people dont know is that mx5/miatas have a bar running from the gearbox to the diff to act as a gear box mount, so between the motor being mounted right at the front and the gearbox mounted near to the end, theres plenty of twistig going on. A side mounted rotor would be best but there isnt much room in there.

[nervgs]

The PPF was kept intact for the swap. Most (if not all) swaps available have eliminated it for easier installation.

[maciekpila]

amazing sound

[fidelyo123]

nismo frontier in the backround...cool!

[abominableaussieman]

i want one

[af1master692]

shaky motor. check your mounts lately?

[CORYTARBY]

what engine do you have in here because i am thinking of puting a rotary moter in my 91?? thanks

[pazernaker]

The title is "13B in a miata"

[SupraCelica98]

its a shame we have so many illiterate in this country.

[islandfd3s]

yeah those are the most horrible motor mounts I think I've ever seen.

My FC is bridgeported (same idle) and doesn't shake at ALL.  The whole car shakes instead.

[assfuck02]

its mine now, foolish mortals.

[bikeboy23332]

where do you live? a email address would be nice.

[bikeboy23332]

dude thats exactly what i need for my blown 88 rx7 but i cant front 4k for it man i know it was expensive to build but come on give me a break and i am interested. just post a comment in here if you will take your price down.

[sgv510]

it took about two weeks and the exhaust is two part that come apart at the manifold .

[dnuofntsol]

Nice, just get an engine torque brace to help with the vibration. That thing wobbles A LOT.

[supremewhip]

You're a dumb ass.

[theboxmodder]

I would recommend the same but I think you are a dumb ass for calling someone a dumb ass for probably no reason at all. Or maybe you were thinking the same thing and he beat you to it... ;)

[gosport86]

the motor is in there the right way. any modd rotary engine does this. what is needed is the brace that run across the top of the motor. you can buy it on ebay.

[AkinaGod]

A rotary powered miata is sick man. It is truely a racers dream... Too bad I don't fit, lol.

[explod3]

why the hell is the engine shaking like that?

[AkinaGod]

Probably installed incorrectly. Needs engine mounts or something to keep it tight.

[RyoKun91]

DEFINITELY engine mounts. Can't be good for the engine bay if it shakes too much.

[rotarytruck]

who in the hell cares about fuel economy if your runnin a rotary....geez

[AkinaGod]

HERE HERE!!!

[scootfd3s]

MOTOR MOUNTS NOWW GO GET THEM

[tecnica562]

gawd i love that color do you mind telling me what color that is?

and how long did it take to complete the full 13b swap. thanks

[BATTAOUSAI]

everything looks good except low exhaust piping and too much engine wobble....not too much of a prob tho....how much u lookin for

[MemphisDrift]

is it a 13B-REW?

how much fuel economy?

how did you instaled the exhaust?

i have a Miata and i wanna make that tune but i'm still gathering info about it

[SpideyFan6010]

I am doing the same thing as well ;)

[rotarymiata]

I have a 1990 and a 1995 miata. The 1990 will soon be getting a 12A peripheral port engine. It should put about 220hp to the wheels. What kind of fuel economy do you get with that 13B with the webber downdraft setup?
