miata engine swaps
#29
Oh yeah, I know you've got mad skills Pat.
I thought it was assumed since this thread is about OP being able to swap one japanese four cylinder (designed to fit in car) for another japanese four cylinder (designed for enormously different car).
I'm just yanking his chain because he comes across as a much different person than he claims to be.
Some may attribute it to poor communication skills (important for tha intrawebz), but I personally believe that anyone that replies to one insinuation of rice, a mild insult, with three direct personal attacks containing curse words is either: a.) hustler or b.) a dumbass teenager trying to defend their shred of credibility in a forum.

1990 miata 1.6...
I am one of the nice guys that will try to help you out... but i will say this, you wont get help from anyone if every single one of your posts is bashing other members. If older members are dicks, ignore it.... even make a sarcasting comment back to them (although hustler will always be there to do one better). Just chill with the name calling and everything. people on this forum will help you, and are very knowledgable, you just kinda have to win them over first and prove that you have done your homework.
On that note:
a great build for an f20c:
S2000 Forums -> Miata + S2000 = M2000?
If you are really going to go different, do it... but dont expect anyone to be too knowledgable or even accepting of the idea. Post up you fab skills, expectations, and general budget. Alot of people will bash you if you plan on spending 10 grand for something that could have been done for half that by using the Bp. You can fix the oil gears and transmisions for probably less than most of these swaps cost. Its no different than the ongoing ricer battle between building the KA to handle power or buying an sr20. Do what you want, ask opinions and advice, but dont throw **** back in everyones face if they are *** holes. it will get you no where.
Have you thought of doing a Ztech or duratech? The super 7's are putting out as much as 250 hp NA with the ztech and even more with the duratech.

Anyways, you do better there and you won't catch any **** from me. Nobody cares about typos. But just plain bad sucks to read.
On topic, I suggest a turbo BP 1.8. The OP gears thing is WAYYYY overplayed. There basically IS NOT a problem. Don't worry about gears. Get a set of forged rods and pistons for that 99' motor you have and, without buying ANY OTHER INTERNALS, it's good for 500+ whp. You'll need everything else like fuel, tuning, exhaust, etc to support it, but the engine will be fine. 6 speeds are considered bullet proof transmissions. No great solution or rear ends though, but I'm working on getting a solid cheap solution for that myself.

Also it helps to not be a complete ******* ------ when asking for people's input.

240 to miata owner thanks
and
patsmx5 thanks
i try not to say anything back to any one that rips on me but it just got to the point were i had it. so let me say it this way i have the 99 motor rebuilt the head ported polished with flyin miatas turbo kit fm1 with the gt2560r and full 3in exhaust dual tip and a modded honda intake manifold. i want to make 350whp on pump for race day and 250 to 300whp for around town. also if i were to get a 6 speed tranny what do you do about the clutch??

I love the few F20 swaps that are out there, but it does seem pointless to me. 8-10psi on the stock motor will get you to the same power, a better powerband and it'll do it cheaper and easier. If you're going to boost the F20/22 (like in Fyrestrike's thread that was posted) you might as well just do a LSx swap kit and that will be cheaper, easier, and more reliable than the boosted F20/22.
