1.8 99-00 non-vvt supercharged engine build
Just wanting to make sure im not missing anything or maybe making wrong parts decisions
was originally going ro keep low budget and use maxpeeding rods but they look out of stock in most places ive checked.
Instead
Manley H beams
acl race main bearings and thrust washers
acl race con rod bearings
Hastings chrome piston rings
stock pistons if in good shape otherwise supertech with wiseco rings instead
some damper like fluidamper
already have the oil pump boundary
besides machine work, head studs, mls head gasket, front main and rear seals, gaskets, etc...anything else suggested?
i hooe to use stock pistons so the budget can be low enough as i would prefer to keep using 5 speed and rear torsen for a while. Last thing any suggestions on a shop to do the machine work? I can only guess there are a few that really specialize in miata blocks i just dontknow who they are. Im willing to ship the block.

Sounds like you are planning to stay in the 250WTQ area, so the 9.5 CR would be OK. You still might wish to consider picking up some NA 1.8 pistons at 9.0 CR (or are they 8.8?).
