I have decided to keep my 1.6L DOHC in the car, but I want to know what parts are an upgrade for this motor from the Miata? I'm looking around for stuff but I am not exactly sure as to what is an upgrade or how close the motors are, or if they are the same thing... can someone please enlighten me as to what I should be mainly looking for? Thanks guys

Re: Miata Swappable Parts?
There was a post a while back of what could be swapped from one to the other. That was probably a year or so ago. Search around for it, you'll find alot of what you need.

There's a discussion in there with the differences in the B6's and what parts are interchangable.

Re: Miata Swappable Parts?
as for that I not saying this is a bad up grade but, I was never a fan of this mainly because it was never dyno before & after. So i dont know the actually HP increase.lost_mx3 wrote:thanks for the tip on the 2.0 header!
