mx3 perf. upgrades

Post by wannaBzorro »

:( been hunting around the net lookin for engine parts for my 4cyl. mx3 and like most of you know there isn't much if anything available....but i come across the odd tidbit for 1.6ltr miatas...my mx3 is a 1995 and i was wonderin if the 1.6 miata stuff swaps right in...specifically cams, headers etc... or if anyone has any ideas what parts are available that work best for the mx3....thanx :D

The header from the miata wont fit because the Miata is real wheel drive, but the cams will... they don't swap right in, you have to switch the exhaust for the intake and the intake for the exhaust cam. this is a really good forum for the miata cam swap.

do a Search on the BP and BPT. Those are the best upgrades for the cost a RS mx can get.

would stock miata cams make any difference or do they have to be stage2??
