B series into a daihatsu mira?

[ouch]

Hey guys, don't know where this should go but I came to the noob forum. Can a b series engine. Maybe a b16 or b18 fit into a daihatsu Mira?

[Benson]

anything is possible with the right budget

[ouch]

Very true benson. But does anyone know if the engine bay Is big enough for a b series?

[Benson]

Just do some measurements and you'll find out :-)

Nobodys gonna know the inner bay dimensions of the Mira off the top of their head.
You're best taking your tape measure and checking it yourself

[ouch]

Doubt it'll drop straight in, you'll probably need to cut the chassis to fit the gearbox. Then there's the positioning of the motor as the b series sit slightly infront of the front wheels

Possibly a definite maybe. Why a diahatsu mira?
Did you want to make it road legal? You would have to upgrade the brakes/suspension etc.
I can see this costing a lots of money for little result..

Can I suggest using the Mira as a DD and using a Honda platform for your B-series project?

[vtecing]

can I suggest not even thinking about attempting this if you dont even know how/where to start?

[trism]

Wow..

Dreams: B series in a Daihatsu Mira
Reality: Yeah I don't really know what I'm measuring. Someone help me out?

Dreams: Wishing my Dihatsu Mira was an NSX
