i came to this forum to learn about these cars not read all your stupid comments, keep all your childish bs to yourself. thank you to all the people who actually answered my question.

The only source of knowledge is experience

Then you should have just googled your stupid question that has been asked a million times since 1994..

I have a rebuilt 1.6L with a garrett 60 trim just sitting in my garage. why dont you read my post before you comment some stupid shit k thanks douche

Only an idiot would have a 1.6 in their garage.

Smart people WELCOME their 1.6s assploding, because then they get to swap in a 1.8.

Sooo... let's lay this out REAL fucking easy and play 20 questions to hold your hand to let you figure out what motor you're looking at since the googles are confusing:


1) What year is the car? Respond back to unlock the next question.

IF YOU HAVE A FUCKING 1.6L IN YOUR GARAGE THEN FUCKING TAKING A FUCKING PICTURE OF YOUR 1.6L AND THEN COMPARE.

There is no doubt in my mind if you can't figure out the difference of two engines that really don't look similar at all (google images would have been a good way to start), then I know for sure you won't be able to swap in that 1.6. And if by some grace of god you do swap it over, you will blow it up in -2 seconds.

from his profile.

This right here.


We need the QC department on isle 5.

Get one of these for your miata. You'll very much love the butt dyno.

guyths how do I tell if my car is a miata or a honda oddysey?

One cool and great for hella flush and drift, the other is a miata.

Wow, a little searching shows that the turbo XR2 motor makes about as much horsepower as a NA 1.8. Talk about pissing into the wind...

Guys how do I tell if I have a cold side turbo kit or a hot side turbo kit? Also what side is the cold side, and what side is the hot side? Also what is a turbo? Also, where is my car and what does it look like?

Cold side turbo. Woot.

I and a few others are hoping he's looking at an NC.

Cool, so you already have a set of forged rods you can pull out of that 1.6 and swap into a 1.8!

Why don't you read ANYTHING before you comment some stupid shit like this thread?

Does anyone else find it ironic that if he would read our stupid comments that have answered this question 23042830482930 times that he would already have his answer.

Survey says those rods aren't really any stronger than normal BP rods.

I don't know why people cream over those damn XR2 motors.

hella flush?

The only cool thing about them is the valve cover.


Which seems dumb, since it's a cool part on a shitty motor that doesn't fit on other motors that don't suck.

So... lipstick on a pig and all that.
