Search, read, search, read. This site will eat you and is not the friendliest to newbs who don't feel like educating themselves and expect spoon feeding.

This site is not for people who are unwilling to do research before asking others. You are literally asking the most basic questions. That's pretty retarded.

Lol I probably should have worded it more specific on what kind of internals I should upgrade instead of asking how I did it so people like you don’t feel like there’s two chop sticks up their ***, so much for the “no question is a dumb question”

That question is still just as bad. Hope you enjoyed your stay because the ban hammer is coming and the ban hammer hasn't ate in a while.

A better layout for a good question post is:
  1. What you want to achieve
  2. What you have researched in regards to it
  3. What your plan is
  4. What concerns you have, based on your plan and research
  5. What questions you have in regards to those concerns

The thing is though. He didnt even try to search. Anyone after 5 minutes of reading would have a decent idea of what he needs for his goals.

1.6 with mild boost and and dont replace any internals. Or be spart and 1.8 swap. Either way his attitude wont last long here.

I honestly probably won’t, I’m still new to the Miata scene so I have a lot to learn, there’s always gonna be people will be willing to help and At least put me on the right track for example the person who replied with a good layout to be more specific then there’s other who will just make a smart *** comments, I respect all and yes my attitude with some comments should have been better but I give back the energy I receive. Research needs to be done and I understand, I will be going with a carb legal flyin Miata kit, which is a solid kit and will do perfect for what I’m looking for but I was just tryna see if some people did some internal upgrades and not a full on engine build when they had already boosted or before then.

For your goals keep the motor stock. No point in wasting money on 1.6 parts.

My 1.6 was at 250 for years on all OEM internals and 15psi

We don't set a high standard around here, in fact we've been accused lately of going soft.
As long as you're not a total moron, and as long as you're not an entitled little snowflake, you're usually fine.
Unfortunately, you have colossally failed in both areas. We cannot tolerate this. It's not us, it's you.
Goodbye
