Ford Mustang 2.3L Ecoboost?
I'd considered the turbo 2.3 found in the Merkur and SVO Mustangs as a swap into one of my '67 Mustangs long ago.
Similar only in displacement, I realize, but the 2.3L Ecoboost has found its way into Mustangs. I find some unusual stuff when using "LS" or "T56" or somesuch in searching CL. Anyone actually thought of undertaking this in a Miata? Just the wiring makes me squinch up my face. But how cool would that be? https://cosprings.craigslist.org/pts...598395439.html |

It sounds like this. And it's awesome. I'm still working on mine but will share some video/audio when I get there.

I'd not even recognized it was an automatic setup with the 2.3. I saw 6-speed and stopped. Yeah, no automatics in my Miata world.
I remember the first time they starting putting 4.6 Mustang mod engines in classic Mustangs. Big deal and really different at the time. Gained traction after a while. Don't think this'll be anything similar. Just kinda neat to contemplate. Anyone looking for a challenge out there? I think I remember seeing something about a Mazda V6 being shoe-horned into a Miata too. At least with a RWD setup, you don't have to worry about turnin' the whole damn thing sideways. Paint/body and new top are the money grabbers over the next two months, so for now it's cruising the CL for ideas. |

Im actually a good bit into my 2.3 EcoBoost swap.
Car is getting caged now and I am building the engine this month. 2.0 block, 2.3 head, 2.3 rotating assembly, forged pistons/rods, Gen 2 Precision 6062. Should be right around 600 to the tire all said and done. |
