Sorry, I should have been more clear. Like Larry mentioned, I'm fitting a msm turbo on a '99 and want to use the stock msm hard lines. Since these ports are only present on the NA and MSM engines, I'll need to drill and tap. I'll be doing 'my' coolant reroute as well (http://miata.devocht.com). On my old setup (FM2), the results were pretty spectaculair (from 94°C to 88°C while cruising and much lower temps on track - don't remember the exact numbers though)

Tell us what you are doing and maybe we can give you some ideas other than drilling the block.

Would it be a problem should any of the shavings get into the block (most likely they will)? Will I be able to get them flushed out without tearing down the engine? I won't drill for oil though, just water Frank _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower -- Robert McElwee and Red Beast 1991 T25 Turbo @ 15 PSI Link ECU, FM IC, 9:1 pistons Over 400 lbs of "added lightness" www.lightweightmiata.com Lightweight Miata Forum: www.lightweightmiata.com/forum The Miata Trailer Project: www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer/trailer.htm
