Build Plan

• 94-97 or 99-00 Miata Block (in theory identical)
• 99 Miata Head
• Displacement?
• Pistons?
• Crank?

Do we want to try to do this ourselves or just pay Flyin Miata a metric asston for one of their absurdly expensive builds?

Bob Bundy's Build

400+rwhp w/a big turbo

• 2.0L FM Stroker
• 94 Block
• 2002+ Pan/Support Plate/Oil Pump
• 99 Head
• Ceramic coated top wiesco pistons. (now standard at FM)
• Oil Squirters Blocked off. (much less oil consumption haven't found a downside and they don't fit with the new pistons anyway now standard with FM builds)
• FM now has Inconell exhaust valves. I think these are really needed on a track car. I've burned exhaust valves twice I think related with over oiling oil control rings using squrters and after market pistons. I don't have inconel exhaust valves yet though.
• ACL race bearings
• Stock cams

TrackDayHookey's Build

420rwhp with a Rotrex centrifugal supercharger

• 94 block, 99 head.
• 1mm oversize Supertech pistons, 8.6:1, but with deck shave and head work the engine is about 9:1.
• 1mm oversize Supertech valves (both intake and exhaust) and Supertech springs (the relatively low seat force version as I don't plan on revving past ~7500).
• Rods from 949Racing.
• 1000 cc injectors.
• Integral "stage 2" intake cam - a little more lift.
• I ported the head. I might even have made it better. Valve deshrouding, clean up the bowl, match the head ports to the intake manifold.
• Custom intake manifold.
• 100 octane gas

Injection

What injectors will we need? 1000cc or can we get away with less? I got 392whp on the Alltrac with 880cc injectors without coming too close to maxing out.

Alternator

Any weight or efficiency gains to be had with some sort of aftermarket alternator?
