You are a typical noob. All noobs show up here throwing out random "I want XXXhp, how do I get it". What noobs find out quickly is that 400whp in a 2200lb is something they had not contemplated very long. A Miata at 200whp is a handful. A Miata at 300whp is a rocket.

You need a fully built motor, headwork, intake manifold, cams, GT30+, cooling, fuel, ECU, tranny, differential, clutch, gauges, sensors... basically, you need to replace everything. Getting 400whp reliably to the ground takes well over $10k in this car... but you should probably budget a bit more... say $15k so you're not surprised when you blow through even that. You cannot skimp on parts at that kind of power.

It is widely accepted that when shooting for that much power, an LSX swap is a far wiser choice.

Sorry for being a typical noob.I know 400whp is alot for a light car and that what im shooting for.I already have 2 fd rx7 with lsx motors in there and i just wanna have a little fun in a miata.So thanks for the help.Just wanted to ask a question and wanted some help to see whats best for the little motor.If you knew any good piston rods turbo kits and suggestions for which company to buy from.

I was looking at the FM turbo kit.Look promising.But i also wanna build internals as well.

Bassmachine 04-06-2011 12:56 PM

Absurdflow, built internals, 1.8l motor, massive turbo, and leatherfaces luck.

Things you need to do:

Fucking search: There are about half a dozen threads on this board that you need to find. It shouldn't be that hard.

Sell one of your LSx FDs: So you can finance building the living shit out of your miata.

Go humble yourself: A lot of people want a bajillion HP Miata. Until they actually drive one.

Is one of those Lambos black, perchance? I think I've seen a video of you driving it somewhere...
