Benefits of a coolant reroute for the B series Mazda Miata engine |
|
The B series engine in the Miata was designed for a fwd car. As with all inline 4 cyl engines, coolant entered one one end of the head and exited the other end in the fwd application. This simple path is the most efficient way to extract heat from the head. Mazda turned the engine 90° and tucked it up against the firewall in the Miata. This meant moving the coolant exit to the front, the same end of the head as the inlet. This poor flow path is the primary cause for overheating which is so common in the 90-05 MX5. Our reroute has a carefully engineered low profile adapter for the back of the head to retain the original front to back coolant path. Just this one modification will significantly reduce coolant temps. Even a bone stock Miata will run a bit hot, and the stock ECU will reduce ignition timing which hurts power and fuel economy.

Attention 01-05 owners: Mazda changed the head gasket design for these years to restrict flow to the #1 cylinder. Not a real fix but it does allow the 01-05 to run a tiny bit cooler than the previous years. Because of this change some people thought the coolant reroute can cause uneven cooling in the cylinder head. Through our experience and testing of this kit on 01-05 Miatas, both on the street and on the track, we have not seen any adverse effects from using this kit on any of the 01-05 cars, and have seen nearly all the cooling benefits experienced on ’90-’00 cars. If you have reason to replace the head gasket on your 01-05 engine, consider using a 94-00 head gasket.
