So over the passed couple months I've been working on collecting parts
Knowing that one day in a couple years I plan to do a RWD conversion I've been keeping an eye out for a donor Miata and I got a killer deal on a beat Miata so the strip down process began
These Miata parts will be stashed away for later use
Until I'm ready to start a RWD conversion, I still want to drive the wagon and even though it already has a B6T I'm going to pull it out in favour of a KLG4 so the next step is to find a donor car
A 2000 626 with a 5 speed
The goods
And it's almost ready to come out

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

The plan for now is to simply get it up and running and plated.... Possibly with a custom intake..... Then after driving it for a bit I want to try a COP conversion with the KLG4 electronics (the main reason why I chose a G4 to swap in)

I'd say Toyota COPs would be ideal but you'd need to change the dwell time. They don't like to dwell at 7ms like most Mazda coils do.
Also, subbed - Very curious to see this develop.Slowtegay - 03 Sunlight Silver MP5 - KJ Swap in the works.

I actually have a set of Toyota coils already, but how would I change the dwell time? This is something I didn't even think of

Not sure why I said 7, I knew better.
The link is to a dwell reducer circuit on a diy board. Fairly straightforward. There have been mixed results with the Miata crowd using yota COPs on stock ECUs. A friend of mine recently went through four sets of Toyota COPs in a couple months because the factory dwell kept burning them up. Finally gave up and went back to the factory packs. I always dwell mine at 2.5 on my turbo Miatas (using megasquirt ms2x)Slowtegay - 03 Sunlight Silver MP5 - KJ Swap in the works.

What would thoughts be towards using the KJ coils on the KLG4?
Pulled the B6T out of the wagon today

Since I've worked on KL's in tight engine bays before, I counted on having clearance issues with the KLG4 intake/throttle body and master cylinder and since this engine bay has more room in it then my old festiva, I figured if there's enough room to work with, I'll move the engine forward to clear the MC so it was time for a test fit so I can see exactly what I'm working with
And like I anticipated the throttle linkage interferes with the MC
It looks like I can move the engine forward by 2-1/2 inches and I should still have enough room for the rad

Nah, I'm sure I can just make the mounts so the throttle linkage has plenty of room to move lol
