Got some awesome intake manifold testing to post up when I have time.
Long story short, we tested 4 manifolds, two headers, and managed to pull 17whp more out of the car. It's linked on the FB page right now, but I'll try to get it on MT.net shortly.

Andrew had a 74mm that fit my manifold up for sale. It looked really cool. I could not help myself. If it makes HP I will be thrilled.

<p>To all the Californians out there... </p><p> </p><p>Is it possible to get a 1991 k24 swapped miata BAR approved for legal street driving? It seems like I would have to use all of the honda sensors and emissions equipment and ECU. I'd probably have to swap the complete harness and achieve full OBD2 functionality. The electrical/wiring side will be a headache...</p><p>https://www.bar.ca.gov/Industry/Engi...uidelines.html</p><p>Do you think this swap driven legally in CA is possible?</p>

Not an expert on BAR regulations by any means but a couple things come to mind immediately:
-The fuel system on the NA is a return style instead of returnless. Pretty sure a BAR legal swap will require a retrofit of a returnless style fuel system. The NB is returnless so that would probably be a better choice.
-I believe you need BAR legal exhaust/intake manifold if they're not OEM correct? That will be a challenge. Andy Hollis had a setup that worked with OEM parts on both sides (in an NB) but it would be a pretty significant compromise.
I would read some of the swap stuff on K20A.org because they have a lot of experience with BAR legal swaps into older chassis.
Or just move out of California.

Well kind of.
There are something's that simply will not work. In those instances, the referee can make exceptions. The best thing to do is go and talk to your referee before you begin the build. Bring him some detail on the areas you know will be a problem. See what he says. If he is a complete hard *** you'll be screwed. But most of those guys are car guys and if they see you are doing everything possible by the book, and this one thing just won't work without mods... They'll give it to you.
