B6 100wheel/hp N/A

Oh well that just poos on that idea as far as the cam is concerned. I am picking up a Kia Sephia 94 1.6l. Guess that wont work than unless I swap to the earlier head. I am gonna be running fuel injection also which might make it a little funner for fuel.

^ you should be able to run a miata cam set if it's DOHC.

[Roboskittle]

Its not its SOHC. According to everything i have seen it should be 8 valve too. I just have to go to the junkyard and look at it when I get a chance. According to everything I have see it didnt go to 16valve until 95.5 which I think is still a SOHC.

[FestYboy]

then why can't you run the FMS comp cam?

[Roboskittle]

Well I just looked at some more supporting info. The intake and exhaust valves on the Sephia are the same as the valves on the 89 323. All should be good and I will deffinately have to try the cam once I go get the engine. Im kind of getting excited about this now lol.

I see no reason why it shouldnt work other than what was stated before that the cam will only work in the early B6 engines. Guess I will have to see.

[FestYboy]

"early" refers to all 8v SOHC heads

[Roboskittle]

Sweetness well once I get my suburban sold I can go pick up my engines and maybe order a cam or 2 and see what happens.

[Biff]

I would find a miata DOHC , Stock and 7000 RPM , I like mine...

^ or one from a mx3 or n/a capri

Don't forget to pick up the ecm and harness, I want to say (if you're a manual) this will be a
B61K (2 plug). It's important. Yes it will run on a b3 ecm but the correct ecm really makes it come alive.
Do this in stages too, so you can see the improvements as you upgrade.
1st run the b6 on the b3 ecm, then with the b6 ecm, then finally with the cam. You'll dig it.

what do the n/a capri's put out?

[resuwrecked]

from wiki...
Two versions were offered for all model years: base and XR2. The base model featured a Mazda 1.6L DOHC 4-cylinder rated at 100 hp. The XR2 featured a turbocharged version of 1.6L engine rated at 132 hp. Both the base model and the XR2 had a 5-speed manual transmission standard; a 4-speed automatic was optional only for the base model.


But then when looked up in the Mazda B-engines article...

B6-2E

1,597 cc (1.597 L; 97.5 cu in) B6-2E - (78x83.6 mm), also known as B6-ME - This was a variant of the B6-E with a 16-valve cylinder head. It is found in the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, 1992-1994 California-spec Mazda 323 and 1992-1993 Mazda MX-3. The B6-ME produced 88 hp (66 kW) and 96 ft·lbf (130 N·m).

WTF and this...

B6D

Mazda B6D, 3rd generation
1,597 cc (1.597 L; 97.5 cu in) B6D - (78x83.6 mm) - The same strengthened and fuel-injected 16-valve DOHC B6 but with higher compression, no turbo, and the first Mazda engine to feature VICS (Variable Inertia Charge System). Most commonly found in the 1985-1988 Japanese market Familias, Etudes and Lasers, this engine was updated in 1989 with revised compression, heads and intake system (in a similar vein to the B5 DOHC) for the 1989-1991 Familia and Laser, then further refined for the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri and 1994-1996 2nd Generation Mazda MX-3 RS. The third generation B6D features an alloy cam cover, a VLIM (VICS) intake, had a 9:1 compression ratio and produced 107 hp (79 kW)

I don't think that's right...I've never seen/heard of the 16V SOHC (B6ME) in a Capri. I think they were either B6D or B6T.

[Safety Guy]

I've always seen N/A Capris as having the 100hp DOHC B6. Never heard of them having VICS either.

Some of that is evidently referring to the Japanese domestic cars.
