One thing that became very apparent is that if you don't know what you're doing when porting, it's easy to end up worse off than if you left it stock. I'm all for DIY and experimentation (have you seen my lemons car?). But head work is like valving shocks - best left to the pros, in my opinion.
EO2K, Keegan will work to the customer's budget and needs, suggest dropping them a line - 562.301.3277, info@keeganengineering.com. Mike's super friendly. Did the boys over at KE touch anything on the intake manifold? Port match or anything? |

Thanks for posting this! I did some of these mods (round off straight edges in combustion chamber, valve port ridge removal and remove machined edges by valves in combustion chamber). I'm glad to see they are justified.

No, nothing done to the manifold yet.

FWIW, Keegan has been building our engines for a few years now.
- T25 win - More than a dozen enduro wins - More than a dozen NASA PT race wins - Lap records at three tracks in two classes You could say we're happy customers. |

I always thought it was the shocks, lol.
Just the same, Mike Keegan has proven amenable to experimentation and communicates with us very well. We kick ideas around for various projects. It goes something like this: Me: "Hey Mike, I want to try these nine hare brained ideas." Mike: Yeah, um three of those will make power in a Miata engine." Me: "Make it so." |

That we seem to be able to tune the Miatas handling for a given track, conditions and race strategy better than anyone else may be a contributing factor ;)

I almost moved to TX to work at BEGi. and by almost, I talked to Corky, and looked at how much plane tickets would cost to fly me and my wife out over a random weekend last summer.
acutally, if they were closer to austin over sa, it probably would of happened, but there was nothing for my wife in SA, but lots of crap in austin. |

Long story short, I would likely put a "Hustler Racing" decal on my car even if all you made was decals. If it was an attractive decal... |

In a few years I'll have a Mech Degree. I'll work for ya Hustler. Prior Military so if the Zombies come I could be an asset. Wife is in school for the finer side of chef so you could be well fed. I already learn from you via your threads. I always have odd ideas that probably won't work. A little bit of explosives training, couldn't hurt. Plus I like a good drink here and there (Bud Light is pee). My only downside is I have lost faith in man kind and I work a little on the slow side due to being a bit methodical and ---- retentive. But done right once is better than wrong twice.
