A sick twisted side of me is wondering wtf is up with your intake..

 

[PYTHON]

hahahahaha you mean my choped up 1.6 JR intake box with flex intake hose :twisted:


well i did not want to spend the money to get a new intake so i choped up the JR ram air intake since it was cracked anways and i have tired to mount it infront of the engine but i did not have enough room. once i fix the coolant hose on the block i am going to mount it in down there untill i figure out if i want to get a SC or IRTBS or stay stock.... so who knows but its ghetto right now. the intake hose needs to be trimed ALOT....it streches out to 6 feet!

Iam curious as to where u mount the fan switch to control the cooling fan?

You should have heard the E-Prod my friend's garage was working on. About 200rwhp out of a 1.6, with very lopey cams and an open header. I couldn't hear myself think, very literally...

 

[jdmeg2]

did you check your timing yet??

When I did mine, I swaped all the 1.6 sensors onto the 1.8. and it fired right up. then all we had to do was reset the timing.

 

[PYTHON]

i have not checked the timing but i am going to attempt to set the timing tonight.......i have never set the timing on a car before but i am sure it cant be too hard

 

[Bryan]

By the way...how did you route the breather hose?

 

[PYTHON]

i am still working on that for right now its just straight off the valve cover

It's very simple, actually. There is some pretty good information concerning setting timing on miata.net, I used it to advance my timing (+17 :twisted: ) and it went without a hitch.

 

[PYTHON]

i just read this.....

and i think i understand everything just need to find a timing gun

this is how we did it on my friends 96m

sounds like your timing belt is off a tooth. read TIm's writeup in the Projects section, and the 19 tooth rule artlicle on miata.net.

Check your spark plug wires. I think they are in the wrong order, based on your pictures. You have them in the 1.6 order, which is fine if you're using the 1.6 coil, but if you are using the 1.8 coil, you need to put the wires in the order like the picture of your friend's car. I can't remember for sure how that works on the 1.8 swap into a 1.6 car, but I thought I would mention it.

I can't really see it. Did you run it between the coils or just plug it?

 

[PYTHON]

ran it right between the coils there is a gap big enough for a tube the trick is getting a hose that wont bend shut when you make the turn on the back of the valve cover

The 1.8 protege valve covers how do you mount the coil pack to fit when doing the conversion??

hahaha magic!! but not really....i am working on a fix for that right now
