I can't decide which one would be better. I've seen alot of specs but still idk. Wandering if anyone here has tried a 13b before the look and sound amazing yet a six speed is very well rounded. What are yalls thoughts?

A six speed is just a transmission?? It creates no power it just transmits power.
How can you compare the two??
Here is one! A Platypus vs. Ironing Board
That's a tough one...you could probably iron shirts on a platypus if you had to.
I bet it would sound amazing also.Quote:

Ha I'm talking about the new Miata engines with the six speed and what you can do with them compared to the 13b rx7 in a Miata a early model.
I know I word things wrong ha I'm not a total Miata idiot Ive researched but what I can't find out I ask yall
The engine on a 6 speed tranny is the same as the engine on a 5 speed tranny. Swapping out the tranny for another does not add power. As for the 13b motor, why not just put a LS3 motor in the car. You'd be better off for performance, sound and fuel economy.
Are you asking what is better? As an engine conversion into an NA? The question doesn't seem very specific? 13b vs. the 2.0 in the NC? The 6 speed is really throwing me off? It has nothing to do with power, just personal preference.
Why I say six speed is bc it can handle more power than the five speed. The ls3 or ls1 conversion is alot more than the 13b I thought ?
Seems as if Jon-92 is the only one who knows what he is asking. As he mentioned earlier words are his nemesis. ;-)Quote:

Are the rx7s as fun as the Miata thow?
Is there a term like "bench racing" but for hypothetical mods that will never happen?
I believe they call that trolling.Quote:

Since you're looking for our general thoughts on the rotary swap vs. dropping in a newer engine and 6-speed, here are mine:
The 13b swap will cost MUCH more. This applies to both the general install, getting things to fit & play nice together, fab work needed. You'll also need a fair amount of free time and $$. Feel free to reference this thread from another board on this general topic. Oh, and don't forget some sort of engine management to actually make the engine run in the Miata chassis.
1.8 with a 6-speed requires some light rewiring for, if I recall correctly, the back-up light sensor in the trans. If you don't already have a 1.8 in your '92, well, you can still use the 6-speed transmission without hassle. If you're looking to drop in a 1.8, your stock engine computer can run the basic functions without issue, though you will need a few bits & pieces to make certain parts fit with your car. Nothing major, though. Check out the pointy board here. You can also find related info in one of Keith Tanner's Miata-related books.
Read & enjoy!
13b vs 6-speed? F that noise, get a flux capacitor.
wtf, jon 92 is moving in on my make no since post territory.
I have a 1.8 drop in. But soon I'll have alot of money and all I ever do on my free time is work on my car or research. I think I'm going to super charge it while it's a street car. After I buy a truck the Miata will be garagged and tracked. But when I make it into a track car idk what is a great lasting swap or conversion. And a six speed tranny will go onto a 1.8? It doesn't matter what year? I've heard that you have to cut into the body as well if you want a 13b. I don't want to ls1 or ls3 it bc I'd still like to work on my car you know and keep that Miata look instead of cutting holes infront of the rear tires for the exhaust I just don't like the way it looks. Just me
Haha im better in person I don't know the lingo I just know what to do and what's going on in my head haha yea I know I never make sense ha
please use some punctuation.
20b
Right on ill look it up
I have an F133 in the garage I'm waiting to swap.
You have got to be shitting me!? The Ferrari engine? Does that really fit? How much was that?
Right time, right place...you'd be surprised by what kind of deals you can make 'round midnight at the track with a cooler full of beer.Quote:

Haha I bet, that's awesome I'd like to see that engine man.

I still need to write a letter to the education system and demand they bring back diagramming sentence lessons. And fail kids and keep them back a grade until they actually "learn" something. None of this pansy "it's ok, Jon. You're clearly retarded but the nice thing to do is overlook your stupidity and let you graduate. You know...so your feelings aren't hurt."
I'm a grumpy young man.
Haha I'm just going to laugh!
Haha...y'all must have overlooked my "dear john" post over in the Parts section.
I saw it, started writing a reply, then just deleted it. I really did laugh out loud though.
I was going to say that he keeps saying he does "research" first, but thought it would read as defending the kid, not sarcastic, so I figured I'd just ask him directly what research he claims he does before posting. Naturally there is no direct answer because we all know he's sitting at a desk thinking to himself "man, these guys really need to lighten up - it's the internet, grammar and punctuation aren't needed. dhu"
Ok look sorry I blow up on these things I'll take it easy
