FYI: BP4W (99/00) head on a BP6D (01-05) block yields about 10:1 comp ratio. Emilio and the boys at 949 did this with their silver NB Rental a while back. Minor headwork, BP5A (MSM) cam, squaretop (UK/EU/JDM) manifold, header and a stand-alone and I believe they were making 140-150hp N/A?
Also, search harder: https://www.miataturbo.net/general-m...es-hurt-62851/ title is fitting and lolz. VVT engine on BP4W ecu is do-able.

I also did the 10:1+bp4w on my green 99 - result was a decent bump in power and it felt fantastic up top, but was a dog down low compared to the vvt motor I'm running now.
If you can get a vvt head, definitely do it. 99 ecu + vvtuner should work without too much wizardry (although you should just get ms3x and simplify things)

I can see why searching hasn't helped you: You need to actually read posts for them to help you.
Let me try to help you:
vvt doesn't do anything for peak power.

Does that make sense?
It advances the intake cam at low rpm and helps torque at low rpm.

Done this swap in a 99 that needed an engine. Even without VVT wired up it made 120whp bone stock on our dynojet. Torque in the low teens.
I paid $700 for that motor with 80k on it with a warranty.

Its about the same price out on the left coast too, problem is that I don't need a head and I don't want to pay for another one.

Brainy is going to hold my hand while I try to get a VVTuner working with my stock ECU
