People have spoke of doing cam swaps from a miata, but you will find a lot of conflicting and non useful information on it now. What you really need to do is starting pricing how much things will cost to do and weigh the benefits against each other. All of the N/A work that you might have to do to g...

dont do it! first, your header will not be able to take that kind of heat. NO2 kits should be run on a good steel header. preferrably stainless. not only that but you should never add more than 50% to a stock motor, i wouldent add more than a 50 hp shot of nitrous. and DO NOT use wet NO2, the vics ...

This has nothing to do with power, it has to do with ways to measure air. The amount of air in cfm is a quite good rough representation of the Hp of a motor... What you have to account for is the efficiency of the motor... Engines only makes as much power as air they move through themselves...The b...

You can find them on ebay for about 65$ USD shipped. You can do the install yourself, its fairly straight forward and easy, If a shop charges you more than two hours they are ripping you off, one should be enough for most poeple to do it.

Nope, usually getting a motor from an auto is a good thing. They are usually ragged on less.

From the look of the pictures I would guess you got a cheap replacement part. They might be smaller but they will work just fine. The center peice you are asking about on your old cap is broken. Its made of graphite and breaks very easily and the new one is intact which is why there is the size disc...

For where the intake is sitting you have to get into some seriously deep water to pull it up into the motor. I ran with my intake in that spot for two years and even drove throught water that was atleast 8in deep and had no problems.

That is a really clean setup, I like em. On the CAI we expanded the little vent to that area by quite some bit. I never got around to finishing the plate I was making to seal the area though. Had this kit been around I would have bought it tomake my life simpler. Here is a pic of my setup, I am digg...

When ever i torque down VC bolts i usually put my palm on the top of the wratchet or I use a Nut Driver, the nut driver is usually the better Idea if you are not sure where the torque spec should be by hand. If the VC is toruqed unevenly it will lead to it leaking, most gaskets are picky and finiky ...

Like what size is the socket you need or did you actually lose it? You can move it without hurtingt it just dont get carried away. The only exception if its bone dry you should add soemthing to it, Oil likes to stick to surfaces so odds are everything is lubricated enough for you to move it in a par...

From what you have listed that you have replaced it sounds like you overheated the motor. I would assume you have a bad headgasket if you did overheat it, although you should talk to your friend moreabout what to do about the problem.

This is all from memory.

Unless it comes from a miata it will also not have VICS. The facotry redline on them lists lower but this might be a reponse due to the intake manifold and not to the internals. Because of htis they also list a few hp lower as well.
