hello
Just got my first miata its a '91... been drooling over my friends turbo'ed miata so i decided to sell my '96 240 w/ an s14SR and finally bought one and used the rest of the money to pay my debts... so far no complaints and its a really nimble car... i have to say that this car handles way better than my 240 with a full suspension and multi links...
btw any advice in building a turboed miata.... i was thinking of fully building the block, but the cost turned me away... how much hp can a stock 1.6 block handle? btw i have heard of coolant reroute on these cars bc of cooling issues... how hard is this task? and do i really need to perform this even with an upgraded radiator? |
Guys here are running ~230whp w/o issue on the stock 1.6. Coolant reroute is about balancing the cylinder cooling vs. dropping coolant temps. Rad upgrade depends on the environment, driving and a bunch of other things. You'll know if you need one. There's tons of posts on this site answering all your questions in detail.

for some reason the miata looks like it has a gut on it. So you had all that stuff on your 240 and no nismo shift knob? My s13 has two, which doubles the horsepower, which means i'm faster :magna:

cause its been repainted and they sprayed the rocker panels. it's why most people chose to leave it black :) |
front lip spoiler, body color, makes it go away. Though my rockers are painted and it doesn't look that (or does it?). Maybe it's the white? :dunno: Still a good looking Miata.
