well i drove my rig today and not happy with the power. i had to drop to 2nd to get up the damn hill to my house. now it smokes a little till she warms up but do these things just not have any power normally or is my turd just warn out? what about swaps like a rotory out of an rx7? or mabey ill just build my engine. are these engines worth building? iv never touch a mazda before other than reg maintenence on other peoples rigs. so please some one tell me im just being a retard and low power is normal!!!

I have a 12a rotary if you'd like it. It's carb'd, so it wouldnt be too bad to install.

Yeap... Shes is wearing down on ya.

If your thinking of an engine swap, go to a KIA SPORTAGE 98-01'!

Direct bolt in, and not much work to it in comparison to others!

150hp or so stock, and can get up to 500hp if you wanted!

With these little engines we have, the most you'll build it to is a souped up lawn mower engine!

Without really going around the site and searching for more, this is all I could get...

Should give you a real good idea. FE3TCourier or FREDIO is the same guy and you oughtta see his setup!

I can remember the name of the forum off the top of my head, but there is another mazda forum with a whole section on swaps, Including the Kia and all the info you need to know
