Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #16 – February 21, 2008, 01:31:16 PM The old MS Miata had the 1.8, I'm talking about the new MX-5 one. Or does it have yet another different one? I know they had to make something like it as there are a few RX8's running around with MS2.3T swaps. Quote Selected

That is the 2.0L, and it doesn't have a turbo, since there is no third gen. Mazdaspeed.But it appears xjeffs is right. The MZR is the Duratec. Quote Selected

And the engine itself would cost $2.5k-4.5k.not for me, I work for mazda! tee hee hee!the 2.3t was never factory in a miata. Though to play along they are talking about the next speed miata having one!:burnout: Quote Selected
Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #19 – February 21, 2008, 03:29:39 PM I'd like to put a built 2.3T (stroker crank, volvo head, big turbo) in a G40 kit car and a new Corvette. For the Vette, use an ol' iron head just to really make the marque people freak. Quote Selected

Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #21 – February 21, 2008, 03:45:23 PM Are you kidding me? Why are people doing Volvo head swaps? There's your DOHC 2.3 turbo right there. Quote Selected

Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #28 – February 21, 2008, 07:14:12 PM I have 2 extra intercooled 2.3 TC engines.We have a 1986 Bayliner runabout boat with a Volvo 2.3 OHC carbed engine. Don't know if the belhousing is the same or not, but it would be nice to put the 2.3turbo Fuel injection in place of the Volvo engine.Then crank it up to 18 pounds of boost and let that boat haul a--:D Quote Selected
