INTRODUCTION:
Yeah, I searched and did some manual thread investigation. Didn't find what I was looking for, which is specifically Motor Specifications suitable for Software Analysis and Experimental (Virtual) Engine Iterations using specialized Motor Software.

The data is scattered everywhere or missing as far as I can tell. I'm hoping those with experience/knowledge of specifics can chime in an fill in the blanks.

I did have a lot of the more easily found data compiled in a Master BP 1.8L Motor (used as a base for modifications) but some ******* stole my laptop and that data is gone and has to be rediscovered. Since I have to start over I thought I may as well do it right this time.

I will attempt to find the data (Again!) and fill in some blanks but there is a lot I was unable to find before so asking for help from those who know.

Ideally everything would be complete enough that this could be a reference (sticky) for those who go the Software Route before actually engaging a real-world non-virtual and non-trivial$$ motor build.

Over the next few days (maybe weeks) I will set out the data I need, the data I have found (for peer review and correction if necessary) and I would expect anyone could use. I am using Motion Software's Dynomation5 but the actual program someone might use isn't (as) important as the Data itself which could be punched in to almost anything starting with some much less expensive Virtual Motor Software.

Note however that Simulations won't run with incomplete data points. Thus I'm asking for help with some of the more obscure values which have to be measured (eg Intake Runner Volume).

Also since there are variations in the Miata Motor (eg heads) I am hoping we can get data for all variants. So if you are going to add something, please be specific. I also have no problem getting data for well-established commercial variants such a a CNC Head Port from some known machine operation or motor builder. Will list them all as discovered.

People are invited and encouraged to post in this thread or PM me with info; I will update the following and it should then be useful as the Reference Post.
