totally newbie question
So I know I might get flamed for this but I need the information. I come from the Bg chassis background and they already had the vics inside the intake from the start, but with the Miata what year did they start? 99+ if I'm correct?? If so, is there a sticky already made for making/building the device to operate them? I'm trying to start the build for my 97 Miata and I have a few 1.8 engines laying around that will need odd parts for. One needs a head so I figure I might as well use the 99-00 one with corresponding intake
I also heard for a few guys that the 02+ used forged pistons that raised the compression vs the 94-00 1.8l. Its what I heard so I'm not thinking its completely true. |
Edit that post so we can see where sentences start and end, then I will reply.

WTF is "Bg chassis background"?
99 and 00 for VICs. Just use a solenoid with a 1-way valve. 01-05 use cast 10:1 pistons. |
Its bascially the Ford escort gt, Mazda protege and 323 cars. All used 1.8ls.

Sounds queer.

Unless it's a 323 GTX, which is badass. But since you didn't mention that, I'd guess that it wasn't. So, why do you want to raise compression? What is your end goal? |
Eh, to each his own. They had the 1.8l way before the Miata did. They helped my learn and are my "Mazda roots". I bought my first Miata because of them.
Now more about the vics.... Just a soleniod? Are you talking about manually activating them? Eventually i will go MS but thats a long way off. |
The VICS solenoid goes on an RPM switch. ~5,500 RPM IIRC.
