this is something im interested in doing, have 2 ma12 engines at home , know ed s doing this but cant find anything on it, tried searching it there, just wondering how much for forged pistins and conrods and what else i need?? injectors and ecu ??
Pretty much the end of the race season anyway, you get no where in rushing a job like that.
Also Ed, that Mx5 turbo you did wants th 1.8 diff fitted, there good for 240bhp then, the 1.6 diffs tend to blow up once you hit 170bhp.
Excuse my ignorance here, but...
Isn't the ma12 block significantly less sturdy than the ma9? Hence, if you put that much induction into it to try and work it as hard as an ma9 you're just gonna put a piston through your bonnet?
Was there a turbo version of the ma12? If so how much boost did they run?...safely?

Nope that's totally incorrect. They are the same size on all MA series engines.the ma09 valves are a lot bigger than ma12
