damn i made a mistake so you said 1.6L is dohc.....so that must mean this pulley kit will not work for mine? any way you can show me a listing somewhere thats the correct part for mine?

i see that its for the miata but theres a few things if you can help me understand the first thing thats said costs nothing it has to do with BTDC ...is that my timing belt? i see that getting a cat back exhaust is good but im going to sleeper status. i dont want to be loud with that car where i liv...

Yes there is a 1.6 dohc. That is what mine was before I swapped in a 2.5. And it is not a serpentine...it is 2 separate belts.[/quot This is a serpentine belt below, some call them a ribbed belt. The DOHC 1.6 uses two of them. V belts are just that a V shaped belt. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.co...

i am going to try that for sure i thought thatd be my best bet too

You should be able to adjust the slack in the belts. One thing though. the 1.6L are not the best for underdrive pulley. the 1.6 is a small nose crank and already prone to crank failure, Underdrive pulleys tend to speed up this process as they are not balanced properly with your rotating assembly. i...

so with this ebay item i need two more belts. do you know or can you show me a listing with the belt i need or a part number idk so i can look it up idc if i have to change the belt i do want the pulley kit though

okay so i was looking for a pulley kit i came across this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ralco-RZ-Performance-Underdrive-Pulley-Kit-Escort-Miata-MX3-Protege-1-6L-1-8L-/280836769773?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41632d07ed&vxp=mtr i have a SOHC the ebay seller says its for a DOH...

nevermind i figured it out im going to replace it tomorrow its on the intake manifold the green plastic in CAP its a black top not green.

can someone please show me a diagram of the coolant temp sensor location (and fan switch location if possible) i dont have access to alldata so i cant find anything

i see what it is now im pretty sure all the electrical wires are good as for the conductivity and resistance im not sure ill have to look into that i got a throttlebody with the sensors on it....maybe thatll work maybe not idk maybe a sensor is bad or im wrong and i just wasted 35 bucks i really am ...

what is that? it doesnt show me the location of the coolant temp sensor or the location of the fan switch sensor its odd because i get blue smoke when i first start the car it goes away i smell coolant and ive replaced the sensor in the back of the head in the middle thats on the block (really hard ...

alright so it flashed 9 times meaning the coolant temp sensor can someone show me a diagram of where that should be or is that in the middle of the head in the back under the intake manifold? is it the fan sensor that is on the thermostat housing? if someone can tell me whats up or show me a diagram...

im not trying to MATCH the max wattage. the PACKAGE on ebay is matching rms of 160 which is normal constant power. like i said before i looked at speakers for RMS and the most i could find PER SPEAKER is 100 to 125 for a 61/2 but the 6x9 goes to like 160 180 the most rms regardless of max wattage (i...

yeah well its a good start for 100 bucks 160RMS i still havnt gotten a clear answer as to what is the best rms but by lookin over the net the highest ive found is 160 at 90+db so im going to go with this for now and maybe upgrade later but this to me is a good start.
