I have the situation where I can get a fm miata kit off of a 99 miata for a nice price ....
can I use the intercooler downpipe other piping boost control etc
Can't seem to find if this kit is interchangeable with the 1.6 minus the manifold

Very little can be moved over. Downpipe won't work. Hotside IC pipes probably won't work. Coldside might, but won't have a spot for the IAC breather hose. IC might bolt in correctly, not sure if they mount the same NA/NB. Hydra will change over with a new boomslang harness. Turbo will swap over.

Kinda what I thought ..... well guess I will ignore and stay the course on getting one of your kits ..... for someone with a 99 it would have been a good deal 1000 dollars for the whole fm setup including hydra and rc550 injectors

Could use more of it if you did a 1.8 swap at the same time.

Price out what you could sell the individual pieces for, keep what'll work on yours, sell the rest if the deal is that good.

FB marketplace? I snapped that kit up I know the one you were talking about. Crazy good deal on it, pretty pumped about it.
