Okay so after procrastinating with the installation of a greddy style urbo kit I think I might just stay N/a and go with cams instead.
I can get the HKS stuff at a great price.
But now here come the questions. I have built many honda motors in the past so I know what is involved with building a motor up to handle the abuse of cams and the way they are driven but who here has done cams on their 1.6 daily driven car?
I want to know if I need to, like with other motors I've done, completley rebuild the head or can I half ass this one and just throw in the cams?
LOL
I know I will need to bump fuel output a bit so I will take care of that with a Apex AFC neo that I already have.
Should I go get new valve springs? who sells them for the miata?
also what is the stock thickness of the head gasket?
HKS sells a 2.0 mm unit and a 1.2mm unit. Are either one stock thickness?
I hope to get either cams in this thing of a turbo kit installed by this next weekend coming up so lend me some guidance on what I should dump my money into.
Any links would be great. thanks

check out toda racing and flyin' miata for the parts you are asking for....my guess on the cams is you are gonna need to run some kind of engine management for the cams.

Well if I run the more mild cam that HKS has to offer I can cover engine management with an Apex SAFC.

thanks for the links.

Okay so I have been searching around but so far been unlucky with finding anything relavant.
I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of powerband I would be achieving if I went with raised compression pistons. I would consider bumping to about 11.0-11.5:1 compression. And of course suplementing that with headers and a straight exhaust. I already have an Aluminum toda flywheel and clutch combo on my car. I would also upgrade the fuel pump and instal injectors from the 1.8 liter engine and map it all out with the Apex AFC. and for cams I would only run the mild intake cam from HKS most likely since my pricing on those isn't bad at all.
What do you all think.
