Bummer Kags! The good thing is Miata motors are fairly cheap, and now you get to go to a big-block!
Well I lost the motor on the BRG this morning. Oil pressure went to zero and knock, knock, knock. I shut it down and got a tow truck to bring it up to my work (dealership), but I know enough to know that it is going to have to come out of the car.
SUCK.
153,000 miles, hell my s2k buddy only got 25K out of his first motor... So I guess I will start planning the 1.8L coversion....

So would you be keeping the 1.6 ECU with Emanage wired in, or would that become available?
Any other interesting 1.6 parts that might be available?

Forgot to add... Whens the swap? I'd love to help out. I may not be the best wrench man, but I am a top notched beer-run-driver!
Wait until the turbo is at least cold.....Originally Posted by Titus
Whats this do for the inspection? I assume you would now qualify for an extension?
Uhmm.... no.Originally Posted by Kags1969
So what do you want for the header?
Kidding... I'm in for the conversion... lets clear out one of your garages and get to ripping!!
I forgot to ask, what do you think led to the loss of oil pressure?
It looks like the lower oil line line to the turbo came loose and I dumped all the oil, no oil, no pressure...Originally Posted by Treibenschnell
