Turbocharged Honda Accord or Miata?
I have a Honda Accord EX V6 2001 Auto with 200000 plus miles and I'm thinking to put a turbo on it for some unicorn power. I going to rebuild the engine either way. Yet, I have my eyes on the future goal on putting a V8 on a Miata. The Miata would look dirt nasty form the outside and will have the eternal power of a roaring V8.
Ive been with the Honda for 2 years now and the only big thing that I had to repair is the transmission which cost 1000+ to repair. It doesn't have a Cat, broken gasket between engine and trans (that's why I want to rebuild so I can fix the gasket.) Other than that the Honda runs great.
With the Miata, Ill need to buy it then later on in a few years ill have to swap in a V8. Itll probably have an old 5.0 off a mustang or twin turbo. Ill be a long project car.
My limit is probably going to be 4 thousand on the Honda and for the Miata they usually cost less than 3000 in good condition. Miata has to be manual and a MK1
