turbo n build question on swap
 

Hey everyone I'm new to this forum hoping y'all can help me. I currently have a 1992 1.4l slow as hell. I'm ordering the jdm 1.8l swap. I'm also gona turbo this engine but first I gona build it. Im looking for 300hp. I need some rule of thumbs for this part. I know I need forged pistons n rods.
Question I have is what compression should I b looking at?
What cams should I b getting?
If there is a good turbo kit what would it b?

I feel bad for the flaming you are about to receive.
They don't make any turbo kits for the 1.4 liter, sorry.
Did you ever feel 300whp in a miata? You'd probably shit yourself.
Forget cams, just run the stock ones.
Search.

I know they don't on a 1.4l I'm doing the 1.8l swap

Maybe there would be a turbo kit For a 1.4, if there ever was a 1.4 in a miata.

Read my build thread, the front page pic/link of the awesome green car.

Can u just put link on here I can't find it.

Does your mum still wipe your ass?

Thanks man

Welcome to MT.net. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you.
Also, there is no such thing as a 1.4L in a Miata.

Well under my hood it says 1.4l which tells me there is a 1.4l. Now I don't need to b spoon fed I had legit questions hoping someone could lead me n the right direction. Never done a swap in a miata so I was just looking for help. So the smart ass remarks can stop uncalled-for. I've been on a bunch of forums n no one has ever acted like this. That's bad forums are suppose to be used for help b meeting people with the same intrest. Now treat it that way

WRONG.
You're asking vague/stupid fucking questions that are in every single way/shape/form the precise definition of asking to be spoon fed.

The difference between this forum and others is that we treat everyone like a MAN, and not like a stupid child that asks questions like "where do babies come from?".

So start with the DIY FAQ, then the useful saved posts, then do a quick search: questions like yours have been asked ONE HUNDRED MILLION BILLION TRILLION times and there are FIVE HUNDRED GAJILLION THREADS ABOUT IT.

On another note,

Welcome, enjoy your stay:)

I would like to get a hold of a 1.4L miata engine to put in my DD I bet it would get sweet gas mileage. My 1.6l got 40 so the 1.4L would get at least 100 mpg. lol

Dude you don't have a 1.4, Mazda didn't stamp the engine with the capacity. Miata's come in 1.6 or 1.8. What year is your car? Secondly, you didn't ask anything about doing a motor swap, you asked questions about turbo'ing your car and getting 300hp.

To get 300HP you need about $5000 or more. This is what you need to spend the money on (and this is for either a 1.6 or 1.8 motor):
1. Turbo
2. Turbo manifold.
3. Downpipe 3"
4. Catback exhaust 3"
5. Injectors 500cc+
6. Intercooler
7. Intercooler piping
8. Programmable ECU
9. Blow off valve
10. Forged Pistons
11. Forged Rods
12. Boost controller
13. Clutch
14. New rear differential (assuming your car is a 1989-1993)
15. New rear axles
16. A shit ton of tuning

Those are the essentials. Good luck with build.

Oh no, other forums are nicer than MT? What the fuck am I going to do with my life?!?!?! OMFG!!!!

Please, be a fucking man. When I joined this forum, I was not a man, I was a boy. The pain will make you a man, MT.net will be a father to you. He will take you by the hand and show you the way, he will spell things out, even lead the horse to water and take a little water in his mouth and "momma-bird" the water to you, but only after disciplining you. He will touch you in a place so intimate that the degree of pleasure you will experience will be life altering...and that place is your "magic button" prostate. However, MT.net cannot get to your pleasure zone until you put on a diaper, soil yourself, and receive a spanking from your father.

This forum is the most helpful forum you can go to regarding a specific make and model of car. You just have to be a man about it.
ITT: buttfrustration

Ok then I will b more to the point for a boosted engine which is more preferred 1.8l or the fe3 out f a kia

N I have a 92 miata. If that helps at all. Been told to go with the fe3 swap turbo n it don't sound that bad.

N as for pics I don't need to go through that trouble to prove they make a 1.4 they do if u don't believe me u can Google it. It not very popular cause it is slow which is why I wanna swap.

Nothing came up on google.

Is English your second language or do you just prefer to type like a severely retarded inbred?

Its there. I dunno pretty stupid for me to lie about that. I dunno

Well you do sound pretty stupid so...

You are so retarded. You come here asking for help and then tell us we're wrong. You don't have a 1.4, unless you don't actually have a miata. The 1.6 or 1.8 miata motors are fine for a turbo setup. But first, you need to learn stuff about your car, like what fugging engine is in it. Btw, you have a 1.6

One thing is really bugging me about this: did you have the picture before? If not did you actively search for "dragons going family style on miata"? or were you inspired by this thread to create the image? Either way my mind is completely blown.

Well either way no difference. I've only had the car for a couple weeks. I was told it was a 1.4l and Iwent with that. On the sticker on the car it says that if it not oh well honostly I don't give a damn. U making this sghit bigger then it gota b. I get the pick on the newb so go on not affecting me any lol

Seriously this thread has gone so far off subject it fruggin rediculous.

Do you want honest serious advice, if so please type yes please with correct punctuation, spelling and grammar.

Ok my bad all I was wrong just looked farther into it I dunno wtf it says 1.4l on the sticker on the hood. Some idiotic prolly put it there before I bought it. Sry to all I was argueing with. Now it is 1.6l I still want around same hp. Should I just build n boost this or what y'all advice

Yes please lol

N I'm not looking to go cheap want it done right

The serious advice is this.

This is the best and most knowledgable group of miata fanatics you will find on the net.

You will not be spoon fed, you will be expected to search for AT LEAST 10 mins before you post a stupid question.

You have a 1.6.

Read the faq. then read it again. then again. Then dont post for a week. then you may ask silly questions only after you have searched.

Trust me.

Your welcome,

Why did you lie to us? Do you think we're some kind of a cyborg? We are real people, with feelings, and integrity.

Check your attitude at the door. And search. A lot. This has been covered ad nauseum

No attitude at all I'm good. Didn't lie I was confused said I was sorry. I'm doing research now so I guess appreciate y'all setting info straight

He has seen the light.

If I could make a suggestion, shoot for 200HP first.

Lol ok I'll shoot for 200 first. I guess I can start with boosting the 1.6 for now

There have been quite a few that have made 300whp on the 1.6. Don't throw it out. It uses the same forged rods as the 1.8. It has a forged steel crankshaft already. It will take the same billet oil pump gear upgrade and the same ATI harmonic balancer. It can use the same clutch and flywheel upgrades and already uses the same 5 speed transmission. I uses the same upgraded injectors and fuel pumps.

I think all of this is in the DIY FAQ.

Awesome thanks for the input. I'll look in the diy database

I wish I could take credit for that image, the dragon sex with cars is LEGENDARY.

Signature worthy

lol @ 1.4

Its impossible to turbo a miata

Nah unless u gt ebay turbo f cheap n huk up da buust controller n max n then u can race pussies at street lights n win like every time y'll.

I like turtles
