Assembling a 500HP Miata Engine From The Bare Block, ASMR Style.

By popular demand, here is the FULL parts list for the engine:

Since I already have a full engine build series, I didn't want to make repeat content, but still wanted to showcase the work that went into this thing. So I ended up spending weeks making this instead lolll. Keep in mind, this video is just for entertainment, and does not show the other half of what goes into building an engine, aka taking all of the measurements, modifying parts to fit, cleaning everything piece by piece, etc. What you see here is basically the fun part! If you'd like more info on the engine build check out the technical blog here:

No blah blah blah talk, no annoying music, no selfie stick where they film themselves more than the work. No this is just straight to the work. Perfect! Looks awesome. Subbed.

[@teamgonzo9289]

Nailed it!!! 👍

[@williamsiniovosa4945]

This is the best engine build i have seen in while ❤

[@__mehdimt__]

Absolutely i hate those videos that they talk with their annoying voice and saying about the process that we’re watching it with our eyes This one was perfect thank you 🔥🔥🔥

[@Gizmos_and_stuff]

i found the music pretty annoying, but otherwise yeah!

[@xkasxprox]

This was what I was looking for, need more long ones for my second monitor content!

[@mrfixall]

I have to say that that was like watching an artist work, And create a work of art, worthy of any museum. Pretty excellent for a guy that's taking a break. Well played.

[@jefftoonstra5087]

And not having a big shop to work out of. Can’t wait for dyno day!

[@dgcmusi]

A lot of knowledge right there….love watching it..

[@JohnKickboxing]

Hey ... by the way, is this engine turbocharged?

You okay? Are you gay?

[@Luckde10]

Greg, your techniques have become far more refined since the fist build. Looks far more surgical than your earlier builds. Look forward to the day on the dyn.

[@MultiFerrarifreak]

Yesssss exactly what I needed right now! Thanks for taking your time to produce this great content for us :)

[@kurkkobain]

what , just joining aprts,, dude thas nothing you dot make a racing engine tyat way,

[@andrewyang60]

I’ve been watching for years but never commented. This video was absolutely fantastic. You have gotten so good at your craft, both in building and capturing/editing. Love your videos, keep them coming!

[@RaiLosTHisMind]

Words cannot describe how satisfying it is watching an engine be assembled. All while being educational. Please make more of these the exact same formate exact same music. It would be much appreciated 🙌🏾

[@mazdamiatafied]

Beautiful work Greg, hypnotizing. Your cinematography has gotten so good!

[@erictol]

Thank you Greg for all your inspiring videos. This one could not be better timed, I currently putting together my shaved 2001 VVT block for my 10AE. Keep doing what you do!

[@dinokolonic9716]

This is like the best lego set in the world. Watching that whole camshaft assembly get put on top of the block was like building a lego and it makes you take a detour to build a different part and then you put it all together and it looks amazing. This is truly one of the best things I've watched.

[@ninjaStalker069]

"cries in poor" man, i felt that on a spiritual level LOLOL

[@Cairo5555]

Wow, you outdid yourself on this video Greg. Well done it's such a nice video to watch and love the background music. :) Keep up all the good and hard work!

[@alanscott156]

My guy got all the good angles. It's reasonably laborious to do an engine build but to spend the time to film it in this way ON TOP of that is seriously extra. You have above and beyond discipline.

[@38tech]

Bruh, the chilliest half hour of yt ever. Thanks, that was very relaxing.

[@twostorywood]

Amen

[@HaworthJimmy]

The parts list and details you’ve provided are fantastic. So much research and planning given away to anyone on a similar journey with their Miata. Good on you ❤

[@Spademonkey]

Happy to see this coming together man! Always stoked to see your builds and the directions they go! Keep it up!

[@crossfiregaming6332]

can we please point out that 1 handed hex key skill. I have never seen anyone do it so smoothly!

[@lucusc4002]

The video I did not know I needed, engine building is always a joy to watch.

[@arimaoutdoors8255]

After building a few turbo Miata’s years ago it’s fun to see the whole process done again. Takes me back to the early 2000s. Thank you

[@stephenhawkingMLG]

Using your videos as a template for my own built motor miata. Really appreciate the depth and detail as you’re pushing the limits of these BPs! Hope soon people will start to see the potential these motors have and how much cheaper they are to build than other motors!

[@neddleman26]

A video I will watch many times in the future. Thanks for the outstanding content! I know this added a lot of time to the build!

[@jdroller-cruz4296]

great content, Greg will always be a legend in the miata community

[@lindkvistandreas]

This is going to be epic man!.. thank you for sharing and looking forward to see testing and tuning on this!

[@justrelaxing1501]

Man I loved this video! No talking, just heads up explanations of what various parts were and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing this.

[@darkengel1210]

Nice to see the use of Nord-Lock Parts in this Engine, they just work!

A little greeting from Denmark, A real pleasure looking at Greg, keep up the good work 😃👌👍

[@roderickmacdonald2389]

That was one of the most relaxing engine builds I've seen could have this on loop!

[@williamsiniovosa4945]

This was so soothing, locked everyone out to enjoy this build i cherished every second, and the music was spot on. I wished it never ended.

[@valdirjose7118]

Incrível trabalho de montagem do motor, parabéns pelo desempenho, habilidade e competência!

[@elijahbakker1513]

I'd also like to add that your quality of work has increased astoundingly! I was rebuilding my first motor around when you started your big red and I've been working in the industry since. I build race motors for motocross bikes and you have done just as much as our highest of quality builds. If you do end up reading this, much love ❤️

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

I think you might be getting confused, the "updated" VVT head gasket from Mazda has smaller openings for the front coolant ports, but this gasket has full sized openings. There is nothing blocked off in the rear with any head gaskets as far as I know

[@elijahbakker1513]

@TheCarPassionChannel yes, after looking back into it, you are correct. Just making sure you're on your toes 😉 I'll edit it subsequently after this reply

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

@@elijahbakker1513 You had me looking back at my own footage too, hahaha

wow someday ill have enough money to build an engine like this until then love seeing others build stuff

[@flipflop7577]

Stunning!! 🥹Absolutely STUNNING video!! Perfect music choice, very relaxing yet soothing to watch and listen to! Now I can go to bed and dream about miatas and highpower BPs😴🤤

[@bobbyjackson2564]

Cinematic masterpiece from start to finish. Giving me the motivation I needed to get going with my turbo build. Also, you really did flex on everyone with the one handed allen technique 10/10

[@A_Gray]

Ive always enjoyed the videos where its just chill vibs and shows you whats up instead of telling you, while showing you. I hope you do similar style edits for any wrenching videos. Much love as always 🧡

[@MultiMinors]

What a beautiful engine

[@Laz_Arus]

It sure looks easier to replace the timing belt, water pump and main seal when the engine is on an engine stand than what I had to endure changing those parts while the engine is in situ.

[@kylelambert1672]

Same here. Speaking of which @thecarpassionchannel I saw in this video you slid the woodruff key towards the crank pulley after it's back on. In the timing belt video I don't remember you mentioning that

[@kylelambert1672]

Mine never came off the crank nose and just chilled there the entire time I was replacing stuff. And my pulley parts just went back on but the woodruff key still didn't move

[@Patrick94GSR]

working on an engine on a stand is an absolute dream compared to bending over or laying around on the ground underneath the car. I've done my timing belt in the car, and also dropped the trans and changed the clutch under the car. Now I have my whole engine and trans out of the car, and it's so much easier.

[@dylanthomas9777]

This was a beautiful video, from the detail of assembly to the, the camera angles, and the editing. Also an awesome educational video.

[@sparkie5571]

well shot and well mastered. looks amazing, and I can’t wait to see it in action

[@mmjohns2705]

I wish i could press like more than once for content like this! 🎉🥓

[@dirtperson4221slash2]

Have to comment twice after watching in full.. That ol Mundo hex spin down to the last nuts and bolts represents so many years of wrenching to reach this milestone. I'm proud for you never giving up on your passions my amigo. Always looking forward to seeing what you can build! Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration and role model to us all!

[@ryandeweese363]

One of the best put together engine and video builds I've seen in a long time!! Very well put together, and can't wait to get started on my next engine build!! Last one was a 2008 4.7, Super smooth!!

[@philjones5728]

I LOVED this! Strangely very satisfying. Well done with all the editing that must've gone into this video 10/10

[@joeldesmit]

Greg is the only dad I trust to go out for a carton of milk and come back❤️

[@igorbarbarossa]

Without milk, but in a Miata

[@BradAF]

Inspirational!! I’ve got a BP4W waiting for a rebuild, I’ll be watching this video on loop 🙏

[@tylermfdurden]

Planning on putting my head back together this weekend, so this was a treat

[@TheMapleDaily]

This plus your previous videos is a perfect tutorial for an engine build!

[@pappieee9409]

I bought a 05 nb the other day and I found your channel literally about a hour ago, you are a absolute god send and a gem, thank you daddy Greg and much love from the uk 🫶🏻

[@yatajoris2857]

Love the vibe, great build and thanks for taking us along for the journey. This thing is gonna be sick as always😍

[@1987RX7TII]

This was so calming. On one hand, I’ve done most of what you’ve shown here except for installing pistons or taking out valves and keepers. Watching you do the whole engine almost makes me want to build a long nose 1.6 I have laying around in my basement that has mild rod knock. But then I’ll need to buy all the expensive goodies and convince my wife the car needed it. Haha. Love to see it.

[@restoreandrepair-vn]

Another masterpiece! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you 💕

[@ArthurSperotto]

This was beyond awesome to watch! Excited to see the trans and diff solutions to put this power to the ground.

[@boostjunky8171]

Excellent video Greg, so interesting and relaxing at the same time. Appreciate the effort buddy 👍🏼

[@iainbagnall4825]

Dear god this is relaxing. I never knew I needed a 30 minute engine build video. Kudos for doing this with bare hands instead of gloves! That is one clean engine but still. It actually looks like you got a mani before shooting this lol. Which is the ultimate way to show your miata love.

[@kg_canuck]

God, you make building an engine seem really easy. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch

[@elwindewitte]

That was so satisfying! Amazing to watch Greg!

[@curlywurly1987]

simply beautiful, had my MX5 going on 8 years now, so far turbo'ed brakes, suspension and other little bits. been looking to rebuild and forged the engine to get to a magic 350BHP and to do it myself a cherry poppin moment and this video makes me want to do it.

[@aristotleallen5577]

Total ASMR, those torque wrench clicks made me all tingly.

Really Zen video to watch, no chat, just letting the parts and the process tell the story. Well done sir. you earned a like & subscribe from an ND owner.

[@violinmiata]

That was beautiful! Stunning engine.

[@Friendsofdonr]

Driven Racing has been amazing in my engine and the br30 worked so well, engine was broke in extremely quickly and efficiently. I was pulling 27inhg within 45 miles, following the Flying Miata break-in procedure. Glad to finally get time to watch this Creighg!

[@rebellords74]

I don't know what it is but seeing an engine get built from the block up with the sounds of tools and clinks is one of the most therapeutic things for me.

[@calinponea]

This is just beautiful.. Wonderful work!
