2.0L or Turbo 1.8L
 

I was wondering what your opinions were about a stroked 1.8 to a 2.0, or a turbo 1.8L? Which one would you choose?

turbo'd 1.8
it's cheaper, and easier.

Is this a troll thread?
Seriously.

1.6

No, this is not a troll thread. I just don't know which route to go with my motor.

+1.

No one can seriously be dumb enough to go to miataturbo.net and ask if we prefer turbos or not. :ugh2:

Stroker motor is 8-10k. You'll make like 150whp tops without a lot of headwork, supporting mods, etc.

Or you could turbo the car, spend half of that on a really solid turbo setup, and end up with 225whp.

Up to you.

But what about teh throttle responsez and such?

Where is the supercharger option?

supercharger > 1600* turbocharger intake air temps

Would that be capable with a 7000$ budget?

Well, for $7k you could do a proper turbo encabulator with high-speed blue tooth Kanouter valves, which is pretty new on Miatas, but Supra guys got into this years ago. PM Savington if you're interested.

Good one bro, how about giving me some real advice/help instead of wasting my time.

Last I checked Savington was the only source for the kanouter vlaves. Very ncessary for proper tip in response when you're hitting the g spot

I would go for a nice $30,000 naturally aspirated build. The 1.5 makes the most horsetorqes


Sounds good to me. I'm sure it would be nice and snappy.

I bet your mother was a teen-mom, right?


It depends on what you want to do with the car. Are you going to the track or are you a hard-parking troglodyte?

No, what is the point of being an asshole to someone on a forum?

lol

On a 7k budget, you can put together a pretty damn nice turbo setup. How much power are you looking for, what do you want to do with the car, etc?

What year is your car, where do you live, etc?

Maybe around 250rwhp i just want something that i enjoy driving and building.

I'm 99.99% convinced this is a troll thread.

Rotary is definitely the way you want to go if you want a good, strong, reliable motor. Now you throw a stroker in that beast and that's where you see some real power.

Definitely. Especially a cammed rotary with forged rods and NOS

250whp is fast as shit. At 240whp, I'm just as fast as a C6Z on the highway or the frontstretch of TWS up to 150mph. A 200whp Miata is a fun, zippy car, at 250whp it's a pretty dangerous car where you can easily kill yourself.

I mean this sincerely, I run on the wastegate for 240whp, I have no real desire to crank the boost up to 16psi which makes about 300...it's just too much.

correct.

Let those ******s eat cake.
