I mentioned that my son and I had installed an Acura V6 into a 91 Miata. Thought I would share a few pics of that here.
We used the Mini-tec swap kit. This was our first real deep dive into something like this. Went well for the most part. Still have several lingering details to clean up. Needless to say, 260 hp in a 2,100 lb. body is a blast. With standard tires, it EASILY breaks loose in the first three gears. Traction limited. New tires and wheels are next. At least when my son saves up enough. Working at Chik-fil-A is funding his project. Kind of a sleeper. Only give away that it is no longer stock will the the hood bump addition (not on yet).
We took it over to a friend to show it off. He owns a Honda / Acura repair shop. He put the same engine in his old NSX. Pretty sure you could not see two J32 engines in two such different cars sitting side by side anywhere else!
