Hello.


I blew #4 on my small nose original motor about 2 months ago.. so I looked around and found a used jdm crate motor w/ 9500miles, for only $850..

I bought alot of 1.6 to 1.8 conversion parts from flyin miata, along with steering rack bushings, all new tranny seals.. ect... full maintenence..

did myself a custom coolant reroute, and retained the heater core, nice and toasty...

Ive done about 3 oil changes on it so far, to ensure she has a nice clean inside, even though i pulled the oil pan, and cleaned it down with mobile 1 10/30... it still had cross hatching on the cylinder walls.. compression is 185+/- accros the board...

I traded my gsxr 600 for this miata about 9 months ago.. I think I work on it everyday. I love this car.

Im just running it n/a until I save up and buy the exact turbo setup I want...

***Im also looking for some after market 1.8 headers, used or new***

SO.here ya go.

the 1.6 right before I started ripping her apart, i did this all by myself..

THE BP05 1.8








the first picture I have of the car, i had alreay replaced the stock piping and added a b.o.v.

 

Here is my engine bay , now that it is sort of spring ish. Fred

 

Now I just need to put the timing cover back on and do something about that k&n filter on the valve cover.

 

IS that an ABS cover on your front coolant neck output?

 

Thats black paint *****

 

aluminium with black paint, niggstick.

 

It looks a lot better than it did, but it still looks a lot more cluttered than a lot of the others on this forum.

 

Out of the car for now. Working on it.

 

changed some stuff:

still a lil messy tho

 

 

Last year when I was looking for a strange new tick. I'm guessing I have a hydraulic lifter going out.

 

I run an exposed valve cover because it gives me a piece of mind.
I had a timing plate bolt ventilate my valve cover. It was my car telling me to run exposed cam gears.



Now

 

Reviving this thread with an updated picture from my bay.

 

 

I love the intake on this car.

 

Hello. New here. Here is my engine bay. 96 miata with built bp (gtr) engine. Running Na atm. Hotside coolant reroute. Intake from old intercooler pipes.

After washing/waxing the bay. Now I've got my heat shield on and fixed my leaky oil return line so I don't have to clean the bay every couple of days.

 

 

In progress but it's about there. Waiting on some parts to come in.

 

Shiny parts encourage the purchasing of more shiny parts.
