I have 4k saved up and I was going to buy a flying miata stage 1 supercharger for my 1996 Mazda miata, but now Im having second thoughts. Is there anything else I can do? Right now I have Jackson racing headers, jackson racing cat, HKS exhaust cannister, AEM cold air intake, aftermarket clutch, and flywheel. The car is pretty fast but I want a little more out of it. Is there another mod that I dont know about? I dont want to replace my 1.8L motor or anything I just want to feel a little more all around power.

high comp pistons, ported head w/ valvetrain upgrade,cams, individual throttle bodies- that should give you the power you're looking for plus individual throttle bodies sound awsome. -
IRTB's won't give you the power you can get from a Supercharger or Turbo.
Have you checked www.brperformance.net yet?

This sounds very good actually. If some engine builder gave me the suggestion, I'd consider this. But I think a supercharger or a turbo will cost you less as labor costs alot...Originally posted by theflatlander

well of course i know that but it doesn't sound like he's looking for gobs of power and i just recommended n/a tune 'cuase i've seen these things in action before and just love the sound.Originally posted by Tuner

True, but for the price of a nice N/A tune, he could have a Turbo.
Here's some pics of my friend Peter's Miata

yea i say go with the NA tuning upgrade route, ive seen some pretty fast miatas on the streets that are NA. oh yea, you should upgrade the fuel too(injectors, bigger fuel pump, ecu(standalone or piggyback)Comment

yeah i agree with nasty nate 7 i went all out with NA on my 4age and i think its worth is rather than going turbo. but it is your decision and your car

There's a point where modification will end, and practice will have to begin. The car is only as fast as its driver and if you have a fast car, the more practice it will take to drive that car at the limit consistntly. I have a friend who just got a new mazdaspeed miata and he's an awesome driver, but he hasn't done anything to the car except add a boost gauge because he wants to learn to drive the car at the limit before he moves the limit to a point much harder and more risky to attain safely. Do you get what I'm saying? Sorry if it's vauge.Comment
