why?

fuel maps would be off (mega rich, anyone?)

you don't have adjustable cams

timing might be off, but it might still run

you don't have VICS

bottom line, there would be no gains, losses if anything. Now, if you had a BP, then you might be onto something.

"magical performance chips" don't exist, this includes using an ECM that wasn't designed for your car. Maybe if I put a Ferrari ECM in my car it could go 250mph :?

It would fit if from the 1st gen Miatas.

LOL, we're all being jerks. It won't work, and is pointless. Get a megasquirt if you want an upgrade. Or if you really want the best upgrade, get this. You just may have the smartest car on the planet if you do.

Actually.. a 4cl does have VICS if he has a DOHC.
