We’ve seen a lot of cars borrowing the Supra 2JZ engine to make them faster and more fun, but this one is pure madness. It’s almost like fitting a jet engine to a go-kart, which is nice... but deadly.
Whoever did this awesome job, managed to perfectly fit the inline-six 2JZ in the place of the old 1.6- or 1.8-liter four-cylinder and of course, looking at how the new engine looks, it must be seriously upgraded.
That huge turbocharger on the left there means this Miata can bite really hard and it must develop somewhere above 550 hp. Which fitted to a car that tips the scale at a bit over 1,000 kg (2,204 lb) means that either you’ll turn the rear tires into ashes or die in a massive ball of flaming twisted metal.
The top-trim MX5 MAZDASPEED of those days, fitted with a 1.8-liter inline-four was making 148 hp and 124 lb-ft (168 Nm) of torque, was doing the 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds. So imagine how this thing goes if it can properly put all that power to the asphalt.
To help you make a better idea about this Miata, a Mark4 Toyota Supra with a custom 2JZ weighs around 500 kg (1,100 lb) more and still beats supercars.
