Personal opinion:
1: You're looking to do an "all-motor" build (by which I assume you mean that you are striving for maximum usable power without using forced induction).
2: You have thus far listed $2,370 in shiny bits, and are probably looking at several thousand more, plus machinework.
3: You forgot the most important part: An '01-'05 longblock.

Yep if you check my signature I already have a greddy set up which i dont like. So i thought about going to what i know best NA/NA. Money is Money don't matter, what matters is what you have the most fun doing.

I'm still stuck on:
Seriously- are you planning to re-use the 1.6 block, or are you willing to step up to the big time? It's not just displacement; the BPZ3 head design and VVT will buy you some serious power potential that's just not available on the B6.

This should be the first thing on your build list:
FM 1.8 Swap Kit

Seriously... why not just change the bits you don't like about your current F/I setup. It will probably be much cheaper in the long run and net you much more power.
p.s. it's a pain in the dick to click a bunch of links to items we all know about. just list the items you are looking at and provide links if you so desire.

I just want to do it differently. I truely love my miata and if i leave it turbo's i wont drive it daily which is what I want I love going back roading, and cruising it to work with no top. I'm just simple.

What's your perceived impediment to daily driving a turbo miata?
