How do I know if my miata has a 1.6 or 1.8, obviously I’d know by year but I’m talking about just by looking at it thanks

1.8 is bigger
Pass. Air bag and valve cover are easiest give aways.
If u look at the valve cover.. The writing on the 1.6 is sunken in and the 1.8’s writing is bold
What’s the difference on the valve cover
Exactly what thao said
you can also look up your vin number
the spark plugs on 1.6 lead towards the drivers side, 1.8 leads towards the passenger side
spark plug wires
Intake manifold too
Anything else people’s
Are u serious?
wtf more lol
Simple question guys Thanks
I can’t think of anything more
If u feel ur nipple and feel at the valve cover simultaneously it will send a signal from your nipple u are touching over to your other nipple and tell it whether it’s a 1.6 or 1.8
Jesus Christ!
Camshaft position sensor is also in a different location.
Stock intake tube on the 1.6 goes under a radiator hose, the 1.8 tube goes over
Put up a bay picture
1.8 CAS on the exhaust side, 1.6 CAS on Intake side.

Cam angle sensor is on pass. side for 1.6. Driver side for 1.8.
No passenger air bag in a 1.6 ; 1.6 doesn’t have a Mazda badge on the front bumper but says the word Mazda beneath the driver turn signal.
Some 1.6s don’t have a trunk release inside, not sure if all are like that or not.
@geoffrey the Mazda sign is just a sticker, a lot of 6s don’t have it
including my own
Cam angle sensor on 1.8 is in exhaust side and cam angle sensor on 1.6 is intake side
Throttle body is slanted down on 1.6, straight on 1.8
AFM vs MAF
Ah, wasn’t aware, I’ve owned a handful of NAs (6s and 8s) and it’s just always been that way. Thanks for the info!
1.6 short/ smaller engine, 1.8 longer engine .. not unless previous owner was nice to swap in a 1.8 for you and still using 1.6 parts
Not really sure what more you need… there’s not gonna be a giant hidden 1.8 or 1.6 stamp on the motor. Stamp on valve cover is recessed on na6’s, raised on na8’s, and recessed again on nb’s. Then na6’s have a coilpack on exhaust side, na8 coilpack on intake side. Also na8 intakes go above the radiator hose.
