Doing an engine swap in 24hrs | NEW drift car arrives…

Well, Josh blew the engine on his NC Mazda MX5 and it was time to get a fresh engine in. Can he swap an engine in the MX5 in less than 24hrs? Also, Dave gets a proper look around the team’s brand new drift car, his new V8 1UZ S14 Silvia 240sx and sheds some light on future plans and engine swaps.

Absolute full credit to Josh. Fair play to you lad to take on that job and getting it done. You always get stuck in and do those jobs yourself. Often the butt of many jokes and slagging but you always power through. Well done.

[@austinkoller1895]

That is exactly why he is the bash of many jokes. They know he’s solid and can take it. 🤘🏼

[@Stevie4KGaming]

Great video guys, josh who is not a mechanic to take on his first engine change which is an engine conversion and then to do a clutch the following day and drive the car home, well done josh!! That my friend is an incredible achievement

[@aaronmeldrum8456]

Thanks, Dave for actually telling it how it is... so many KZbinrs these days are putting 50k+ into their builds and never really disclose how much it costs, what parts are sponsored, etc... this has then set a weird expectation on "normal" car people...

[@kylehamilton9495]

Josh v Adam is a great idea! Enjoy the competition videos already, but this will make it much more exciting!! 🎉

[@riulloo4084]

Black bonnet with heavy red metal flake would look unreal!!

[@seanhill6752]

10/10 Josh for having a go specially all on your own !! Give yourself a pat on the back 👍👍👍 well done brother .

[@addy660]

Josh you killed it man!!! Love it!!! even tho you were tired you didn't give up and carried throughout!!! And absolute inspiration 🙌❤️

[@Timrsnakess]

Fair play Josh for the bounce back, nice job aside from the calipers hanging by the lines 😬😅, youll be checking the oil on this one!

[@Armgoth]

Josh you should receive an honorary title for this marathon :D Great job challanging yourself! Be proud.

[@JasonBrown-eg7fc]

Fair do’s Josh! Absolutely smashed it!

[@88Frank]

Great video. Love how you went balls deep into an engine swap, the ups the downs.... then had to change the clutch 😂

[@LaubsterMedia]

Well done Josh thats a solid job as person that has done that far to many times that is a solid effort! nice work!

[@fiachragallagher]

Well done Josh!! You should be proud of yourself.

[@dougieirvine3980]

Well done Josh 👏👏👏👌👍 watching filming everyone else over the years must make this feel good for you 👏👌

[@blusrule]

Good man Josh 👏 the engine swap was impressive but getting the ramp off Wayne for a day is even more impressive 🤣

[@seanhill6752]

plus its been good content lol 🤣😂 specially with the background tip toe music ! Had me in stitches 😂😂 .

[@adamivell]

yes josh! Love it, celebrated when it started, cooommon!! Ill get you a new set of Gloves sorted! Those others deserve a well earnt rest haha

[@draggonhedd]

1UZ with 3UZ heads and ITBs. 3uZ heads supposedly flow better and i think they have VVT or VVL. Alternatively, a twinscrew (lysholm) supercharger mounted up top would be amazing. Either way I'm in for some rowdy 1uz tuning. If you can find some of those classic 90s all-white tail lights I think it would look great, if not then just keep the ones that are on it. For the bonnet, do a sparkly silver or white with a HEAVY bass-boat iridescent rainbow flake in it. REALLY run away with it.

[@FRIEDWINGZ17]

I love the idea of keep the 1UZ and doing a tune with ITB’s. Its already an interesting engine for that car and lately ive been really into Silvias with NA ITB setups. Those things make the coolest sounds. And a flaky paint for the hood is another good idea, i like that you mentioned early D1 cars as an inspo for that. I think it could work super well. Loner engine swap adventures with Josh was great. He was literally speechless on that first start and for good reason! Great job. Redemption rings were the perfect ending to the video.

[@owenh2007]

Whole lotta of yes!! Itbs all day!! It’ll sound wicked!

[@GenStrife]

Ganadors and a carbon hood to play off the black on the wheels and interior. Bring it all together and keep it proper. :)

[@Dipper88]

Buala bos Josh. Proof that hard work gets results

[@antonioalbarran6040]

The s14 needs some Strom wheels, and ITB's for sure! LED tails,, and carbon bonnet

[@sg3260]

Job well done. I think Dave owes you at least a pair of snickers...

[@matty4508]

Josh you absolute legend. You should be so proud of that achievement, absolutely amazing ✌🏼

[@subarusam34]

The ITB set up would definitely be unique and if I'm honest but the DS05 would suit that car better than the FC RX7. The origin lab underskirts are a life saver but speak with LZ about how he does his underskirts might be a better option.

[@tadasmaselskis5362]

Well done Josh! 👍

[@dillondaly2202]

what a legend josh well done man

[@peterpaulhouterman707]

Yes! Doe the ITB'S on the s14!!!! Love it

[@seanhill6752]

Go on the boy 👋👋👋 congrats mate !! 👍👍👍

[@abrormubarak]

S14 is already uniq and wild, it is oke if you want to replace the wheels or bonet.. but for the drivetrain, 1UZ with ITB n equal lenght header and straight pipe exhaust will sound insane

[@fire_anthony]

Phoenix engine management make awesome wire Looms for 1uz and they are plug and play for link ECU! Supercharger out of the bonnet would be cool

[@kevinhamilton4647]

I think the sparkle silver would look awesome on the whole top half of the car. Hood, roof, trunk and maybe the window pillars along with the chrome tail lights and some really nice silver wheels. I think that would look really cool and bring the whole car together 👍🤘🍻

[@TearothDK]

Wooo! ITB's! LETS GOOOOO!

[@E11evens]

Mate, your first engine swap in 24hrs 👏 👌🏼

[@filaptop]

Well done Josh... You have won price of drift games mechanic... Sorry Wayne vut he deserve it Also thanks Dave for telling truth about 4rotors... Would be expensive... Even 3rotor for 30k Congrats to Adam for 2nd new car in 2 episodes... Dave need to really love you lol

[@simonchayden]

The 14 would look perfect with either bonnet the only thing is with the silver it will look very similar to flips fc rx7, still look class either way

[@WarrenMeinking]

That V8 sounds amazing. Definitely keep it, and throw in the Link ECU with ITB's like you said. Perhaps equal length headers? How about putting your new Strom wheels on (black version) with carbon hood? Had a good laugh at Josh - has access to all the oil he needs, yet doesn't use it haha. Good job on getting it out and the other one fitted and started though!

[@ashgriffiths3233]

Bloody awesome job Josh you killed it 👌

[@cezelipatrick]

Very impressed with Josh tbf.

[@darrenliggett7222]

Bloody hell Josh, well done dude, first enghine swap in the bag 👌

[@marcusscott2712]

Keep the lights you should go link with the itb’s and full Crome wheels.

[@Lil_Dill4]

love the idea of the ITBS and a link ECU. Also def silver and all the flake, on chrome wheels.

[@seancnln]

Fair play josh.. thats good going!!! Like the its broke we're fixing it type videos.. think its very grounding! You lads need another Wayne for events now!!

[@Awataar]

Silver flake bonnet and high revving UZ (different cams to have 8500+ with additional power) with ITBs, UZ can be build not that expensive for high revs. That would be cool.

[@deanqrs1209]

Well done, Josh 👏 proud of you !!

[@SupraHenry]

Underrated channel. Love these guys!

[@michaelgonder111]

What an emotional roller-coaster!

[@BigJimmyLifts]

Very well done. Josh. That’s incredible. Enjoy your car and please please top the oil up every now and then 😂😂😂

[@ScotsBeats]

welldone Josh! nice to see you finish the donuts too!

[@alanobrien1817]

Fair play to u josh for having a go,no small job that doing most of it on your own 👏👏

[@E9xwill]

Fair play josh. Mekanik now mate 👍🏼

[@mahtisonniify]

Silver flake bonnet + change the wheels for work vskf's :)

[@beefycheesecake]

Well done Josh, great work.

[@baguilera88]

Sparkly silver bonnet ftw!

[@baguilera88]

W/ red flake

[@JZS171-W]

Josh fair play mate 👍🏻

[@MT-qu4tk]

You lads are brave, I can tell by the breathe in the air that its freezing. Props to you for being motivated to move in the cold id be frozen still.

[@andrewmilman1213]

Definitely sparkly silver with flake for the hood/bonnet in my opinion. Could pair it up with some silver hot boy wheels and have urself a gem!

[@fredrikandersson3885]

ITBs are super cool but a good ol turbo v8 is the key to my heart!

[@cormacbrennan9149]

Love the new cars Dave can’t wait to see what u have in store for us in the near future. Also I have never seen a taller man getting out of a smaller car in my life by the time u stepped out the roof was at hip height absolutely brilliant 😂 best of luck lads love watching these

[@jessemorgan3409]

If you keep the wheels you have I highly suggest painting the centers the same red as the car, if you can find the color code, and then add black to the clear coat so at the right angle they almost look like black centers then boom a nice subtle touch of red. For the lips a matte or high gloss bronze. Engine bay, trying to fit a turbo in there may get difficult and hot, itbs would be dope but why not a positive displacement supercharger. Strong and reliable power and makes good noises.

[@driftgames_life]

Interesting idea with the hood 🤔

[@MrGtread]

Well done Josh 👍

[@driftgames_life]

Thanks 👍

[@MisfitsGarageUK]

josh that was a big task to take on your own well done you should be proud 😎

[@christomofo88]

Just awesome Josh that was great 👍

[@jamesc9849]

Loving these longer vids guys 🤙 looking forwards to seeing who wins between josh and adam. Good luck 🤙

[@BOOT]

Wrap the hood something cool, idk I like camo but w/e is cool over there. Gold or Chrome might look interesting LOL kinda the opposite of a race car where they paint the hood black for glare.

[@anthonyward-colbert5735]

Love the itb idea, it's different and would sound awesome

[@driftgames_life]

I think so too!

[@dustindowd5624]

HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WHERE NOT GOING TO GET ADAM INTO A PRO CAR BUT YOU DID IT...... THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN RIDE MAN CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS........

[@lancer495]

Well done Josh! Nice work

[@michalwalczak4197]

Josh… what can i say. I am very proud of You! Congrats on your first ever engine swap done all by yourself! Everybody makes a jokes about You but to be honest You are the only one doing it all yourself! High five for You and WELL DONE BWOY!!❤️‍🔥

[@Tezzablade]

I would've been dead if the engine blew again when doing rings at the end. Lmao

[@theonlywayisessex1]

Props to you Josh! Very well done 🙌🏻

[@TylerWallen]

I say old school ish jdm or euro however you see it. Do the roof and pillars all in black. Maybe the hood and trunk in black as well. I think that’s be super sick. Even more so with the color of the car already. Obviously ITB’s for sure. The sound. The look. It’d be drop jaw gorgeous.

[@thebeattee569]

i really like your advice in this episode Josh, i'm diving into pulling the 3sge out of my altezza to replace it as well so this is good to hear!

[@stevepoole607]

Ive a fd rx7 with 1uz on ITBs and MS3 management. It sounds amazing. The ITBs are an absolute pain to fit. Def not a 2 min bolt on job. And its an a*se setting the TPS with them.

[@kiemet94]

Fair play to josh for having a play, as Wayne says it's only nuts n bolts. And excited to see what Adam can do, he was impressive at Drift week

[@conormccarthy9569]

S14, keep the 1uz a set of ITBs + manifolds is a must raw v8 sound and power!!!

[@chubbertyberns8147]

Someone could match that bonnet easy take time and money but it's definitely doable

[@robertoellis7467]

carbon bonett, Itbs and some ganadors would be class

[@Skater3z3b]

Good job Josh! Awesome!

[@MrLinus84]

Class Josh mighty stuff 💪🏻👍😊

[@Ben_here_b4]

Bravo Josh, bravo! 👏 👏👏

[@griffengardner]

I think as far as the hood goes try and color match it! I think that will be the classiest look. A good painter will be able to get it very, very close. Totally agree on full chrome on the wheels too. I think a set of big lip full chrome/ polished Work Meister S1’s would be even more of a proper look. Just an idea (:

[@waterlover]

I had faith in Josh

[@peterglassman1975]

Glad you have decided to keep the V8.

[@towertsk]

Well done Josh!!!

[@geofferypurcell6632]

A set of ström wheels in the shadow chrome with the sparkly silver hood

[@shaysmall6747]

Look up Hartley racing engines in New Zealand. They build everything 1uz for the dirt ovel super stock racing series. Ported heads, manifolds etc

[@jc0326]

Josh testing the tensile strength of everything forgotten one at a time. lol been there many times myself

[@obsidian....]

Good job Josh 👏👏👏👏

[@kensmk2escort]

Well done Josh 👏

[@Mvp-Crow]

I live in Colorado, and I can tell you it gets cold here as well. But there is not one car guy here that will work when he can see his breath.. unless he's broken on the road. Get some damn heat.. insulate them sheds

[@rsadz2358]

well done josh top work

[@tristanviola]

Keep the kouki lights!!

[@aboyanhisbike]

1uz turbo sounds sick but 1uz itb would sound amazing. Power or sound?

[@tdh_gf8139]

ITBs would be cooool with trumpets out the bonnet

[@obsidian....]

Bright hood= blinding Dark hood = no reflections - So I'd go carbon or black and maybe paint the roof and trunk?

[@gavinoliver8074]

For not really knowing what you were doing thats mighty impressive mate. Well done. Love the channel lads.

[@stevie575rnd4]

Carbon hood hot boi taillights and a supercharger on the 1uz

[@garethsmith3274]

S14 is sick ds-05 in black and turbo
