now my concern is...is this a direct transplant? what else would i need if its possible (cluster, ignition?) :confused: if anyone could give me tips i would really appreciate it, thanks in advance :) |
Why doesnt he just swap in it himself...he prob knows shit about mechanics. I would do it myself, or get someone to help me and then put that 5 grand somewhere else maybe into the 94...what a dummy.

He might reconsider if someone clued him in that there's no difference between a 99-00 engine and the MSM engine (other than the MSM prolly has fewer miles).
|
There are a few differences in the MSM motor vs the 99-00 motor. Cams are different (I just looked at a set Friday), as well as a handful of variances. Not sure if the block has the MBSP (I'd assume it would), which the 4W won't have.
$5k is a bit steep for the parts listed, but you guys need to keep in mind the total comes with the engine assembly, clutch, 6 spd, 3.90 TorsenII with larger axles, etc etc. All with 6k miles on it. Leave the MSM ecu and harnesses, knock $1000-1500 off the price, and IMO it's an attractive package. |
I'll re-phrase: it's not $5,000 different.

I would do something like make an offer at $3500, and tell them to keep the ecu, harnesses, and sensors. |
I wouldnt do it. I dont get it. If hes already got a miata spend a thousand to build his motor. Spend 1800 on the begi s kit and bam better

I fail to find the article, but I remember reading somewhere the MSM had some low end forged pistons in it?
|
Instead of calling him a loser, why not point out the error of his ways?

Plus don't disregard the fact that the MSM rear uses larger axles. |

I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the OP. He spent the time and effort to start this thread, when he could have posted on m.net something like "consider that a BEGI kit will cost a lot less and will make more power". He called him a loser instead of ignorant, which would have been fair.
Being ignorant makes you a loser. |
