We're close, im in Dominican Republic, are there any junkyards over there where i might be able to get a ZL head? I really want to Variable Valve Timing and ive been researching bout a way to control it and found out that pretty much a VVT-i controller (Toyota's own) will work for it.

The apex v-tech controler can work, an RPM switch or controller, or even by a simple button like a nitrous activator, all those can work, but over here in P.R. the only ZL engine that I've seen is my own, and it was by chance that I stumbled upon it.
FYI more info
FYI for good ready I found this site that has some info on Mazda engine interchangeability: http://members.aol.com/solomiata/MX5Engine.html

yep. this time adding an egt gauge on the 4th runner. 4th cylinder runs the hottest.

I ditched the mbc and got a 15psi actuator and sent the turbo to Deadbolt for their monster port service. I opted not to go with a bigger compressor wheel because I want as little lag as possible, you know first hand what the 1.6 power is without boost. I want this to be a boosting little *****.
DEADBOLT MONSTER PORT SERVICE
Better response, quicker spoolup, reduced boost creep, better "roll-on" acceleration, and quicker torque peak. Unlike most other porting services which simply smooth out the dimples and casting marks in the piece they are working on our system is different. We port match the exhaust housing to the downpipe gasket, resculpt the inside of the exhaust housing heavily, oversize the wastegate to help prevent boost creep, then smooth the area where the exhaust gasses enter the exhaust housing.

plus they ported out the compressor housing outlet port
they said spool up should start 300-500rpm sooner

dyno numbers will be posted
my guess is 250whp and 280wtq

read the first post my kneegrow. I edit/update it as things go. biknman blew a head gasket and parted out his car. I picked up his awr radiator and quaife lsd

update....I added a few more pics on page 1. engine gasket set, oil pump, water pump, thermostat thanks to jason baggie/montgomery mazda.
the head and intake manifold were sent to speedcircuit. the manifold is being ported and having 4 250cc injectors put into each runner, no more 750cc prethrottle body injector.
speedcircuit stage 2 head which includes:
-Special five angle valve job
-Bowl work to blend the stock machine cuts into a larger bowl
-Resurface
-Disassemble/clean/reassemble
-Sandblast clean
-Valve lash set
-Resurface
-Pressure test to ensure no leaks
-Completely ported and knife-edged intake ports
-Completely ported and knife-edged exhaust ports
-The extra porting and knife edging results in a larger port that is more consistent than the stock port, resulting in smoother power and better airflow
