I got a vvt engine and a complete new turbo setup that's going in.

Guess I will be selling my cams then :) Does the msm valve cover fit any other miata head? :)

Orly? Just dumped it in, huh? :giggle:

Anyone Know the stock timing table of an msm turbo engine?

Yeah! PM me with your email adress and I can send the Hydra map for it :)

Are we looking at the same pistons?

I see nothing. It usually shows up around the quench pads, and they look fuzzy with carbon but fine to me.

You should have got a VVT motor and Borg turbo form the get go. There is nothing special about the MSM motor. Its a 95 block, 99 head, with a tiny turbo that will put down like 200whp at 15psi, and an artifically low redline. The value of an MSM is in the fact that you get the whole car (bilsteins, t2r, axels, sport brakes, sways, springs, racing harts) for the cost of a regular NB of same year mileage.

Your best bet is to check the head to make sure its good, slap on another block and sell the whole setup to someone else to recoup the most money.

this one looks really suspect to me.

I HAVE 160,000 MILES ON MY RACE CAR MSM 2004, 1/8 MILE, 1/4 MILE, AUTO CROSS & DAILY RED LINES..... AEM CAI, NO CAT, GLASSPACKED MUFFLER & EVERYTHING ELSE STOCK. NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT 5 SETS CRACKED/BENT RIMS, 3 CRACKED WINDSHIELDS (stopped engine shaking with 3 engine shocks)... and a Mishimoto Radiator for heat management.... I also have 80,000 on a 2nd MSM 100% stock... 2 sets of cracked/bent rims... based on what you said, I will not go over 10lbs boost.... on both cars.... gone through 20+ sets of tires and 1 clutch change & 2 sets of brake pads... Oil changes every 2-3k... but no knocks....

Do yourself a favor and get rid of those racing harts for a nice 15" setup.

I DID, RH ARE SO WEAK, so I went to other 17" and they bent too. Went to 15, 16 and they did not mix well with "pot holes" or So. California Roads... Now on Axis 10 spoke rims with 1600lb rating per rim... no problems now... have 3 sets for 2 cars, got rid of all other rims... I use 225-35-18 on back and 215-35-18 front, Staggered, really BMW Z4 looks....

I had to look up what quench pad is. On these pistons, is it the outer face adjoining the valve relief cuts? I guess you mean the melted area on the piston below (supertech).

Are you referring to the spotting in the carbon?

yeah, spefically around the edges.

Yep, upon further review the referee says its det.

Get off our forum you stupid retarded fuck...and stop wearing those 1970s flower print m.netter shirts. God I should have fucked with your car when I had the chance...but I felt sorry for you after listening to you babble on and on to some poor schmuck at C&C.
