94 rebuild, intake manifold, head questions
Hello i have a 1994 miata I'm looking into rebuilding for a turbo setup. I'm slightly mechanically inclined more than most but I'm no expert nor do I have any experiences with a miata.I just picked mine up early August. The problem I'm having is there just to many threads that have lead me to no where. For what I want to ask.
Im sure most of us have seen the 99-00 head swap and Honda intake manifold setup.
I understand that the 99-00 is the best flowing head. And I've been trying to track one down for a little while now with no luck. unless I want one that has already been rebuilt with a higher price, which I kinda don't trust, and I'm just gonna have to get it redone anyways.
So my question is has anyone used a Honda intake manifold in a 94-97 head? Is the runner spacing the same? Is there still sufficient power gains? How much of a differences between the two heads when this is done?

Ask yourself what are you power goals. Also, this should probably be one of the last things you'd need to worry about. Get the motor and turbo setup all sorted. Do you even have engine management, bro? Tons of things for you to worry about rather than having some garage queen motor sitting on a stand with the best parts and a car that doesn't support it. The intake manifold can be sorted at a later date. Be innovative and be the first. Or just go with the tried and true. People make plenty of power on stock manifolds. If you're mechanically inclined, why not make your own with velocity stacks and larger plenum.
I've seen plenty of BP4W heads both on forums and local. You can probably find a VVT head more redily available. Ask 18psi whenever he gets a bunch of parts in.
If you want a great flowing head, just swap a k24
boom. now get to it and start a build thread already.

You dont know because you don't read.
VVT head flows as well as bp4w, has slightly more aggressive cam profile (but barely enough to notice). They are more readily found compared to a nearly unicorn head that was produced for only 2 years in the miata. They use the same intake and exhaust manifolds.
Build it once, then man up if you're going to talk the talk.

I'm done spoon feeding.
