Even at 310cfm, and a .5 bsfc, you're looking at ~227bhp at best. Knock 15% off of that and you're at 185whp, which is about 10whp more than I've ever seen an m45 produce.
Empirical evidence says you won't break 200whp with an M45. If you want 200-220, you need an MP62 or a small turbo.

opcorn:The best of luck to you. And I'm being serious/not snarky/whatever - best of luck to you.
If you break 200 with an M45, you'll be doing something common knowledge believes impossible.
However, I imagine coming close to 200, let alone breaking it, is going to cost big $$$ if it's even possible on a M45.

The idea that a M45 will make any engine only make 160hp is just flat wrong.

There is a M45 SC and a Shitty Power card making 196 and a half HP. But that is on a 99 motor. Not sure you are going to get any where close to 200 out of a high compression 1.6 even with a turbo.
And there are several M62ed and MP62ed cars WELL over the 220-240 HP range, I personally know of one that is making 300.
Now back to the topic at hand. Sell your motor or put new pistons in it, slap a turbo on there and call it a day.

I got your PM. And 1) just because it works on a Honda doesn't mean it will work on a Miata. 2) I have NO IDEA what his power numbers are 3) I have NO IDEA what he is using for forced induction. So not sure what your point is. I think you have a very reachable goal. Just think you are going to need to make some changes to your current set up if you want to do it with a M45

Yes you can and nobody said you couldn't. But you aren't going to hit the numbers you want to hit with a high compression B6 and a M45. You can run FI on a 14:1 motor....but just because you can doesn't mean you should.
