203hp out of that engine will be fun, I wish my NB could make that sort of enjoyable power.

It could with a duratec/mzl(r) swap.

Much more trouble than it's worth. Might as well just go LS.

Probably the same amount of trouble. I agree the LS is the easy go to for lots of power. But if that is not your goal and you just want your miata to be a little bit faster and a little bit better without having to beef up the brakes, drivetrain, and rear end.

However, if you want your Miata to have that kind of power (or slightly more) just turbo the BP 1.8 and call it a day. The main problem with trying to swap a Duratec/MZR into a NB is that the exhaust and intake are in opposite places. The time and engineering/fabrication required to swap it isn't worth the 20-30hp gain when you could just as well turbo the original engine for similar results.

So...since it's actually a package by some UK-based tuner, I take it that means it's going to be UK-only?

No idea, maybe they ship the part worldwide.
