Patrick, I'd pay whatever you ask for the intake manifold and the power steering mounting bracket.

Hey man, do you have some practical daily type info you could share? NVH, how does it handle highway speeds at over 3.5k rpm and the gas mileage. Also do you have a J32A2 or J35A5

I never understood the obsession with JDM engines. They are almost always abused on the oil changes and have so much carbon coke in the engines. Its always been scary looking inside when I open them up. I can understand if its something we dont have in the US but if there is a US variant, there really isnt a benefit to buying a carbon coked JDM motor just for some kinda "Clout". Regardless of me not getting the JDM thing, damn that car must be fun to drive based on my exp with other J swapped vehicles I have driven.

Yes, it uses the adaptor plate for the Miata transmission that is included with the Minitec kit.

I would possibly be willing to either buy the plans for it, or if you wanted to make another one, Possibly just purchase it straight from you if you like. the car looks clean and Congrats on making it happen

Hello Patrick! I wanna ask you about the swapping of the engine mounting kit.. what did you come up with. Let’s say I have Honda prelude I wanna do the same swap. Is there a source for that? One more thing, what transmission do you run? Thank you that’s a very clean swap... Sweet! I love it!!
@patrick.woolfenden 2 жыл бұрын
I am running the stock Miata 5-speed transmission. For the engine swap I used the MiniTec JV6 Miata package. This came with a new front subframe, engine mounts, and adaptor plate to attach the Honda V6 to the Miata transmission as well as other parts. www.superfastminis.com/store/p_982283/jv6-miata-package J-swapping a prelude is not something I know about. There could very well be kits to do it. It's just something I have never researched.

I watch this video over and over and as I get closer to starting my swap, I watch this every day. Tons of detailed info and inspiration. Thanx for this vid. Any chance you'd recall what hoses you used for the coolant to the heater core?
@patrick.woolfenden 3 жыл бұрын
Sorry, I don't recall exactly. I think it was a combination of the stock Miata heater core hoses as well as a hose from my local O'Rielly auto parts. I asked if they could take me to the back of the store where all their molded coolant hoses are hanging up to choose the one that looks like it would work. I think I ended up with a pretty long hose with a bunch of bends that I cut a section out of.

Minitec is a decent starter kit, but IMO they need to partner up with you to refine their kit for the average joe or jane. If I could purchase this as a whole PnP kit (not including the motor) I would order it today! I'm sure you're busy with other endeavors but a few phone calls and some well invested time speaking/working with MiniTec (talk with Norm) could be beneficial for you and them. Another thing to add is most sites are out of stock of turbos, intercoolers, basic kits to make your Miata go fast. Early Miata's are getting snatched up due to the pent-up demand to get the F$%K out of the house and smash some gears. As us old dudes get even older we have money burning holes in our pockets. Our wives have already moved on to younger bucks, kids are out of the house and all we want to do is thrash gear across the tracks (not on the streets as older means wiser). The demand for a kit like this would be huge if marketed correctly. Hit me up if you plan on a GTM strategy. I'll start buying up the motors since the prices are still low. ;)

@@patrick.woolfenden Overall, would you say this swap is worth it? Level of complexity? I know you did a custom build with many custom parts, but what would you say your overall spend was? My plan was to go with a megasquirt PNP3, so similar custom ECU workload and cost.
@patrick.woolfenden 3 жыл бұрын
@@cookie327 My total spend (not including purchase price of the car) was probably somewhere between 6-8K. It was worth it for me. I like how the car turned out and it was a fun project. You will get more power for the money by tubroing the stock engine. It would also be less work. But the J-Series Miata is a pretty cool thing and is a totally different feel. Lots of instant low end torque. The most complex part was the wiring. I referenced wiring diagrams and combined a J32 wiring harness with the NA Miata's harness. The AEM Series II AEM30-6051 is kind of old at this point, but it is plug and play for the older J-series engines. With the Megasquirt you will need to configure everything for the engine and setup an additional relay or something to actuate the V-Tec solenoid. V-Tec requires switched 12V. Typically ECUs switch outputs to ground not 12V.

What kid did you use?? Does it clear the hood and also do you get to retain the AC?
@patrick.woolfenden 3 жыл бұрын
It's the Minitec kit. I think they make an AC compressor mounting bracket if you want to keep AC. I made my own intake manifold, but they also sell one. With the Minitec manifold I think a bit of the rib structure inside of the hood needs to be cut out to clear.
@pixeldennis2862 3 жыл бұрын
that coolant hose?!?!? where what is it? custom or you find something that fit just right? couldnt agree more about the ugly intake setup .... can you do this and keep ac too? we really need to come together and get that LS intake with block off cheaper.... or convince minitec to design a better intakemanifold. ive talked to him directly he said they have tried a lot of things.. they just cant seem to get the right combo. you can see one of their intake designs on their site with photos...

I honestly think it would be a lot easier than a car with a transversely mounted J-Series. The radiator can be removed with just a couple bolts, an electrical plug, and a couple hose clamps. Then you have tons of room and easy access to the crank pulley bolt.
