I know hes doing it on a NB would it work on a NA he says it wont because the ignition coils get in the way i was thinking if i went down the cop route then it wont be a problm unless the front housing with thermostat doesnt fit on the rear or something on the NA block this seems like a simple cost effective solution!
What you all think?

Ahh just the man!!! i bought this yesterday.
i have the 1996 1.8 looking at the wiring diagram there are 4 wires coming from the miata harness. How do I make 1 wire connect to 4 coils for example the black/white coming from the harness is the ground and needs to connect to the 4 coils do i just twist the 4 wires coming off the coils together then join it from the 1 wire coming from the miata harness then fuse with solder???yes iam retarded dont ask.

I posted this one yesterday. It has been around for ages.
From what I can gather you can do this on an NA if you move the coil pack and modify or delete your EGR pipe.

I had this done on an NA with COPs and no need to move the EGR. I plugged the front of the head and got my heater core line from the back instead as well.
I actually like the angle better then the KIA water neck because at that angle, you don't need to mess with the coolant temp sensor.

I removed the port where the oil cooler gets its coolant and tapped it for 1/2 pipe thread. I screwed a pipe into it with an extension and the 5/8" coolant line popped on that nicely. I then T'd the oil cooler line with the main return line after the thermostat.

ok, so this is a little late but I just thought of it now so i'm posting the pics.
here is a good one of the back of the head with the engine out (you can see the egr clears and I don't need to mess with the temp sensor. heater hose fit tight onto 1/2' plumbing perfectly)
Sorry if the other pic is blurry, best on i could find... i welded the inlet on the rad at a 45 degree angle to clear the intake more easily (please excuse the mess of wires and vacuum lines)

pics are good i was wondering where people were taking their water cooling lines from for the turbo as i thought they were fitting a 30mm freeze plug as in the video.
