WeebleWobble goes s/c
Hi I'm Brandon I have a 97 with a few tasteful modifications. I recently aquired a s/c kit and megasquirt. I figured I'd search around for s/c builds and here I am. I'm thinking about pistons, rods, head studs, engine rebuild kit and possibly a clutch for the next items on my purchase list.
My 97 current mods: 949 corrado brake kit Tein coils Exhaust cam mod Hard top Weapon r intake High flow cat 4.77 differential |
Thats a shame.. :)

I assume you have a 5spd. How does that work out with the 4.77?
Go turbo. |
The five speed is phenomenal with the 4.77, it feels perfect for auto x or the canyons, but sucks for daily use..
|
I forgot to mention that I'm in Arizona. A turbo could be possible, just finding proper manifolds seems to be fail for me.

Why go sc?
You will hate that 4.77 with any form of forced induction. |
Superfailer ... Go turbo!
|
Sell fail SC kit for hopefully soon-to-come Trackspeed turbo kit.
|
I might just make my way to 125mph really quick. I work at the top of a twisty canyon road the 4.77 stays, but I do have an extra 4.30 if its too brutal though.
|
I want to beat on it with the s/c in the twistys before I make my decision.

If you make a reasonable amount of torque (might be ok if sc is small) with the 4.77 you will spin your tires very easily, especially going up hill.
4.1 is a bit short for my car resulting in 3rd gear traction loss at highway speeds (worse going up hill) especially on imperfect road surfaces, just saying. |

Hmm this may be something I need to consider.
This is a pic of my fourth Miata "The Wobble Mobile" a 1992 SE that I quickly bassturdized. |
No point in building the motor if you're not going to upgrade the transmission or lots of track use. Or make sure you have a spare transmission.
Actually never mind, you'll never make enough torque to need a stronger transmission... You will hate that 4.77 rear. I don't even like my 4.3. Please sell that supercharger kit and buy a turbo kit. Small turbo you will have much much more fun and torque than SC. |
Whoa I was thinking like 200 reliable HP. Would that really grenade the na8 trans? Would an nb1 trans be better? Damn I need to do more research
|
Correct.
Dann |
To be fair you're probably fine making 200-220whp on a stock 1.8 engine and drive line with a small turbo as long as you don't try and break it.
You should read a lot before buying anything, why waste money? |

After hours of research I've decided to go turbo, now I just need to find a kit or pit one together..
