TitaniumSpeed said:This vehicle looks awesome! Wonder why they are getting more hp (look at the torque!!!) out of the 1.8l than the 2.0 MSP ....lol. Oh well, I still love my MAZDASPEED! Love the RacingHarts!
ZoomZoomH said:the BP engine in the Miata is MUCH MORE suited for turbo application (aka higher boost)
rx7gslse said:isn't it the same basic arcitecture as teh old 1.6 miata's (which started as a turbo designed block for teh 323 etc etc..)
kcbhiw said:If it weren't for the extra inch in lenght and the components that that inch accomodates, the engines are, for the most part, identical (1.6 and 1.8). However, from the BP's conception, the head design has since changed over time. I beleive the intake ports on the current BP head are straighter, and higher, than those on the older BP. There's a lot of info on Randy Stocker's page.

vodapas77 said:Anyhow, question in regards to earlier posts. Is there any relationship between the 1.8 in the Miata and the 1.8 that was in the older Protege? Same blaick different internals, completely different just happed to share the same displacement? I need knowledge, hook a brother up.
