preformance updates for the 1.6

[violent_J_54021]

I was wondering what kind of preformance updates I could do to the 1.6 DOHC. I have a budget of around 800 dollars, and I have already put a cold air intake, and pacesetter exhaust. I was thinking along the lines of dome pistons of something like that. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

hey bud for about 700 you can put miata cams and gears at planetperformance.com thats for the 1990miata...you can put a jet v-force controll mod. on it for 200 and a unorthodox racing under drive pully for 200 and you can rig up some probe headers on it<i did it i got about 11hp gain on the dyno>woohoo lol there stuff out there you just have to look

or for that u can buy a B6t, and up the boost.

i like the way barry thinks...

with him having the DOHC, it'll cost a little more than $800 to complete a b6t swap.

i say save up to do that or a bpt swap, or...

get a b6t turbo/manifold and go from there.

1 u have to cut ur hood
2 the ecu is not plu & play


i think the IHI/323 turbo idea is the best

yah if your planning on going turbo, then either turbo your existing motor and make more power than a B6T swap, or put in the BPT well worth the money. not worth swaping in a B6T on an MX DOHC platform. just as much work as the BPT.

Im in the Leesburg/Mount Dora area, but i seriusly never knew you coud swap a header, has anyone ever done this?
