Anyone know a good light transaxle option to allow 'true' mid-engine fitment of the Masda V6. That would make it a nice option for a LMP
or single seater style car

Mk1 Passat or old Audi 500, they should be cheap and come in 5 speed with good ratios

What about the 1.6l turbo engine in the current Cooper S / peugeots?
I have no ideas re dimensions but it must be light and resonably small. 170plus bhp and said to be a cracker!

Just to add to the thread - I have been chatting to a guy in the states who fancies fitting a Mazda V6 into a J15 , so I had a chat with JP (while my
Fury was parked near a J15....) ...................... and we recon the KL will easily fit (and he was very interested in the lack of weight/small
size/revvy nature of the engine  )
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Will weld for food......

The one problem with the KL for FWD (well, Mid-engined, but same config.) applications is that the gearbox which bolts straight to it (in a
Probe/MX6/MX3) is notoriously rubbish/weak. Maybe an adapter plate to fit something more sturdy...?

Hi,
I am going with the 2litre 5 cylinder 20 valve turbo from the fiat coupe. 220bhp as standard and has an LSD. Not sure on weight. Once I have finished
getting it out of the car I will weigh it.
They do sound nice though!!
