5.0MX5

Just looked at the Toyota V12, Nice engine. Should be super smooth and plenty strong. Looking forward to updates.

alrighty so the v12 has gained loads of momentum considering that i only got the motor the 15th december
i should be ready to fire it up in the next 2 weeks !!!! lets hope so

i moved the build thread to miata.net as its not v8 content heres the clicky for it

By all means do not stop updating here just because of the extra 4 pistons! Regardless of the forum's name we are open to any and all Miata engine swaps here.

as an update here

i have the v12 in and mounted - needs a little bit of bonnet trimming and "maybe" a bit more

here are some pics - it fits way better than expected









showing clearance on drivers side - the motor is offset 30mm






i am in the middle of wiring hell actually - battling the wiring and a mental block - i seem to have lost my way and confidence on wiring

so its got the bmw m3 e46 lsdiff / toyota r154 gearbox / lexus 1uzfe flywheel just blots straight on to the v12 crank / ms3 pro ecu and lots of other small changes

I am so excited to get it to start !!!!

Ive been following this build on a Miata forum. His car fell off of a lift at a shop and he's dealing with that now. Sucks.
