Pounds of air? I mean if it were a volumetric measurement I'd get it, but I seem to be having trouble grasping mass as a measurement for a MAF... oh. Mass Air Flow. Is that what that means?

Yes, and you use pounds because it's a constant measurement (a given volume of air can have more or less actual, uh, air in it, depending on temperature and pressure). At a given value for G (gravity), a pound of air is always a certain number of air molecules.

They should properly use kilograms, as that can be a measure of mass rather than weight.

No, you give entirely too much information. More than enough for anyone reading to know that you are a terribly stupid kid with no loving clue how little you know about anything. If you ever do break through this....and most people do eventually....you will look back at how you've been conducting yourself in absolute shame.

I've got a ton of 4AGE stuff to get rid of if I'm going through with the V6.


It's a shame the 4A can't make the power of the V6 easily (or as smoothly). I've got a metric gently caress tonne of 4cylinder parts.


Part of me still wants to toss a rebuilt 4AGE in there for a few years, but the cost of rebuilding one isn't worth it for the (lack of) power output. I could go with a more exotic cylinder head, such as the Smallport or 20v setup. Both add complexity and a few harder to source maintenance items to the build.

N/A, I'd be lucky to crack 120whp which would have very little low-end torque (20valves are still gutless motors until you get rolling).

For $1500, I'd have a used V6 and LSD MR2 transmission. It'd come with a reliable 175whp and rocket that MR2 off the line. I'd still have to source a few custom bits and refresh the engine - so final costs would be closer to the $2500-$2750 area.

The decisions :allears:

It'll do it, but you'll have 15psi of boost unloading in corners which can make things interesting. The V6 will be much more linear and be easier to feather power to the wheels.

This was my reasoning. The Miata wasn't even in the picture when I first got my dick wet with MR2s. Now that the MR2 can be a dedicated retard car, I'm happy to go down the six-er route.
