miata boost?
 
Anyone know how much a 1.6 miata can handle for boost?? i think im gonna get my dads in a month or so, pretty nice florida car for free .. so im not gonna say no. Ive been looking around i think ive read like the internals are good for 250 but the rear end about 200 unless upgraded with rx7 rearend. dont know what id run for management though if i boosted it. safc or megasquirt

I could be wrong but I dont think there is any one that boosted a car for there wife yet. If I am wrong then you might have a chance at some info for your miata.

I would love to have a miata, Arron looked at one with rust, smashed fender, faded paint, torn top, 145000 miles, flooded interior, etc. for $2000. They handle amazingly, and the engines take alot of abuse. Have you tryed flyinmiata yet for info?
dude I wish my dad was a car dealer too. I'm sure arron b knows how much they will take, he has alot of info on his computer about them. ;)

Miatas kind of are chick cars. But if you do a little work you have a fast, boosted, rwd car. But if you drive around a stock miata, that is pretty lame

The clutch can not hold either amount of power, and the rear end has problems with it. They also tend to have traction problems.
The late 80's N/A RX-7 LSD fits without problems if you pull the associated axles & driveshafts.

Miata's are ultra cheap cars that are reliable and quick. It takes next to no money to HMT one, or you can also buy the cheap used greddy kits on the cheap all day long. For that matter all the common tuning parts are hella cheap for that matter. Most of the replacement parts are also.


Miata's are fun & hellaciously cheap to play with. If you dont like how they look, there are billions of bodykits / full kits like a kit car for them.

so how exactly do you tune 30whp? advance the timng? lo

Put a hardtop on it and they look ten fold better.I can believe Im gonna say this but they look pretty good with a bodykit as well.Boost it till it blows then rebuild the motor with a stronger components.At least with a Miata you can use all the power it puts out as well unlike my tire spinning Honda.
