Nope.
It will probably make less power than an LS but will be much cooler and sound sweet.

That's not new enough. And it's what they used to use.

Maybe a ur motor? Supercharged k24?

k24 wont fit without a lot of work. And besides.. why bother when you can have an f20c (still a bit of a faff from what i understand). I could not think of anything better. 180 odd kw, not too much torque to just fry the tires, 9k redline and that f*%#ing awesome sound!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Because F20's suck.

Ask any Honda nut, the K series is simply a better engine, it has a larger aftermarket, has much more capacity and doesnt have oil control issues.

Also we are talking about an engine for a tube frame car with an MX5 footprint, not an mx5.

OP says differently

im just sitting here in the sun, waiting for a client to arrive, musing, perhaps absurdly , on what the ultimate mx5 engine would be?

k24 is a newer engine which is used in a lot more cars then f20c so i would hope there would be a lot more aftermarket for it. I don't care for capacity either, and even if i did theres still an f22c and its weird how i always see j's racing s2k, and the amuse r1 thrashing it as some of the quickest cars on the touge without problems.

I guess everyones entitled to there opinion, just like i would like an mx5 with an f20c you can have yours with what ever you like, at the end of the day its an mx5.

Dmad_dood, The conversation has moved onto this question which was posed at the end of page 2.

I agree that everyone should have what they want, for me its probably a 20b PP, still

Ah, no worries.

I'm looking forward to seeing the NC with 20B too.
It is ideal.

The bullet cars next motor is not so much a modern engine...
Pretty sure it was from the 90s.
