Mini Tec, creator of some very cool and very fast Honda VTEC equipped BMC Minis, has ventured into the Miata market with their new brand called SuperFastMiatas. They offer a very cool kit to faciliate swapping a Honda J-series V6 engine into any 1990-2005 Mazda Miata. This is a great way to get reliable 280hp performance.

They currently offer two kits: basic and comprehensive.

The basic kit costs $2,850 and consists of the follwing:
*Front subframe to adapt Honda J engine into Miata (retains Miata front anti-sway bar)
*Transmission adaptor plate from Honda J engine to Miata transmission
*Custom oil pan
*Polyurethane engine mounts
*Flywheel adaptor
*Oil pickup and thermostat housing



The comprehensive kit costs $650 more but adds:
*Starter motor
*Exhuast manifold and downpipe
*Clutch kit with flywheel

You'll need to supply your own motor from a J32A2 01-03 Acura CL Type S or
J35A4 02-04 Honda Odyssey. Other J-series engines may work but have not yet been 100% verified. You'll also need the OEM engine wiring harness that goes with the motor, standalone engine management system and some intake modifications if you don't want to cut a big hole in your hood for clearance.

SuperFastMiatas has built two demo cars (NA and NB)



















And the first customer cars are nearing completion also
