Would people really put a Fidanza on a B6? If you've got a BP project planned, keep the funds to get a flywheel for that. Especially since you'll need a g-series trans with it unless you want to blow up your f-series.

First of all, don't waste your money on this crap for a B6. BP or GTFO. We may as well make that our slogan for the 4 cyl guys. Yes, I know, some members have made impressive power on the B6, but honestly, no replacement for displacement. Not to mention the $300 it takes for a BP, to gain that base 0.2L and 40 HP, you can never get better bang for your buck with ANY modification.
So, spend what, $300 on a Fidanza for pretty much zero gain, or $300 on a (well chosen) junkyard BP for 40 ponies.
But, to answer your questions,
Depends what year Miata. 89-97 1.6/1.8, yes. Anything else, no.
Yes, B6 flywheels bolt onto a BP. Did it myself.
Now with Moderator power!
Black '93 BP RS - wrecked, parted, scrapped.
Green GS - Sold.
Black GS - Summer DD/Race car - Fancy KLZE

2002 BMW 325Xi - sold
2003 Forester Xti - EJ20K swapped. Feedback
I normally argue with the philosophy of "Just swap it, it's easier", but in this instance I tend to agree. The low cost of the BP is my motivation for this exception to my normal opinion for swaps. If it was $250 for a DE, or $900 for a ZE, I'd say get the DE and build it. If it's ~$300 for a 40 hp bump, and the engine is tried and true, It's reasonable.
Im looking to purchase a fidanza flywheel but for a K8..do i buy one for a MX-3 specifically there is also protege, miata is as fitment leading me to believe its for a 4cyl or do i just get one for a v6 like for a probe or a mx-6...or is it a waste of money and the k8 flywheel is already pretty light.......

now i'm not positive on this since i haven't dealt with v6's much but i'm pretty sure the tranny for mx-6's/probes are the same as the mx-3's. (actually, i think the probes have a 28 spline count and the mx-3/mx-6 is 26? maybe i shouldn't have posted....)
and yes the protege, miata fitment is for a 4 cyl.
Weather or not it's a waste of money or not is really up to your or your budget but any weight /up-sprung weight loss is a good thing
kulluminati, the flywheel will be the same. Fidanza only made 1 for the K series, and it's identical between models.
The KL flywheel is 21 pounds(According to ProbeTalk posts), the K8 I believe was reported as 13-14 pounds, and I know the Fidanza is 9.x pounds. I've got one sitting in my attic with the rest of my parts right now, if you need a picture.
K801 so pretty decent saving even compared to mx3 flywheel.
