Exclamation Need more POWER!!!!

I know you can swap a DOHC intake manifold into a SOHC engine but exactly what parts do you need to do this. And also about the throttle body, are there any aftermarket throttle bodies that are made for the SOHC or the DOHC. Or does this mean I'm going to have to bore out my throttle body?

hey Pseudo,

I am sure that they are not as good as the Toda ones, but do you know if the UNORTHODOX ULTRA-TR Adjustable Cam Gears are any good......????

i have the UR cam gears...the timing marks on the gears are painted. well, engine and summer HEAT does a good job of melting/blurring those marks

i personally would recommend Toda's as they are cheaper and i *believe* the marks are machined instead of painted.

AEM does make them as well as HKS and one or two others. you just to have search under the 94-7 miata when trying to find them.

I believe that cams are available only for the DOHC motor......

93Hybrid :

Do you have any Idea of how much HP to the wheels do you have now after all the mods you've done to the DOHC head ?

Your signature say you have 27gph injectors on there.

What injectors are they and where did you source them from?
