miata pistons bump the compression to 9 to sumthin to 1 compared to the stock 8to sumthin to 1 on the escort gt'sSome people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that....

8.8 is stock, 9.5:1 is the most common for miatas (some newer years are 10, newest mx5s are 11:1). its a small boost, gives a little more response. Get a miata head, and swap over the solid lifters/cams, upgrade the springs. at 7K rpms those are a weak spot. lighten things too, crank, flywheel. If you've got money, get some lighter rods. That'll free up alot of kinetic energy and put it to good use at the wheels.
$400 = flywheel
$450 = 9.5:1 wiseco pistons
$?? = lightening the crank
$$$$!! = lightweight rodsNo car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

nah, a p&p won't change things, except power. I want to say the 9.5s came from 94-97 miatas (no new model in 98). and the 10s were 99-can'tremember.No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

the 9.5:1 pistons were in the 99-00 miata. 94-97 were 8.8:1 or 9:1 depending on the year.
