Full Review: All Motor ITB Miata - GQM Garage

[@edge21str]

That driving impression. Man, you can really tell how much you feel for this car. Congrats on the complete build.

[@TheSlipAngle]

+edge21str Thank you!

[@stephencain3467]

[@josuecheves187]

imagine if he put some jdm stickers it would hit at least 220mph

[@NEXUSREIGN48]

You've essentially created what my vision was for my miata at a time. A raw and visceral driving experience that truly only an NA motor such as this can provide. I applaud you sir.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you!

[@norevlimitr1602]

WOW.. The only nice looking, nice driving Miata on KZbin.. And no dubstep.. This is a F'in revelation.. A+

[@googlename8066]

Norevlimitr nice looking? Those tail lights are hideous. Reminds me of a broke Hispanic kid who bought a Miata and has all these plans for his car, minus money. The interior IMO is equally hideous. Hodge podge of crap. I'm not trying to be a dick here, just honest. Each his own I guess. Clean and nice looking to me means it should look like it came from the factory yet still totally custom.

[@showtaito1075]

Google Name well i think the owners taste just matched his taste....

[@Amazing-y2s]

Norevlimitr gad I

[@Gameplayer529]

I mean, did you see Tom's turbo garage doing a clean LS swap on a 04 miata? It was pretty neat.

[@tiagobernardo6807]

This is probably the best miata in the world. It has every single mod right. Looks perfect, sounds even better. Much respect for not following the forced induction way. Built like this are rare, congrats.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you!

[@tiagobernardo6807]

You welcome. Great taste!

[@fahrvergn00gen]

My Jetta actually caught fire a couple days ago. No extinguisher, but I did just purchase a gallon of milk which worked just as well. Cool videos by the way.

[@TheSlipAngle]

lol Thank you!

[@madmiata1887]

Tasteful mods done right, The driving impression was bad ass, and the car is well sorted. Great content bud. Keep up the vids

[@Iamdaveable]

Both your NA and NB builds serve as a great reference to many in the community man. True quality builds 👍🏽

[@IcyThaneProductions]

My God this is a clean car. 185whp all motor is impressive as well.

[@Tyschnei]

They come stock with 180

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Smerk a Berl? Stock 99-00 BP4W is 140 crank hp, roughly 110 - 115 whp.

[@choltzapple]

+Smerk a Berl? No, they come stock with about 120-130 at the crank. 185 at the wheels and all-motor is impressive.

[@adistanescu2477]

+Smerk a Berl? Put down your crack pipe.

[@Tyschnei]

All motor 185 is not impressive at all

[@arauzmotoring1741]

Ship your car to japan and put in the Best Motoring Touge 200 challenge. I really enjoyed this video, that drive on the track really showed just how nicely prepped the car is, and I really enjoy how you've maintained a sense of class with the interior. Sometimes I look at my car and I feel like you said, you can just throw a bunch of parts on a car and not have it be one harmonious "system" of a car.. and then I feel dumb, but I need to remind myself you've had this car probably twice as long as I've had mine, and you really went after the details. I can really appreciate that and it put things into perspective for me.. I hope to one day have my NA on this level of tractability, performance , comfort and reliability wise. . Kudos, Quinn!

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Erick Arauz Ya know, I always wished they would do another American Touge but hold it somewhere in the North East. I would definitely love to hear Tsuchiya's feedback on it. It would be really awesome to run this car in the Touge 200 class battling against the legend himself with his AE86 :) :) :)

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

This was awesome... found myself leaning into the turns with you.. lol "Oh yeah I love this car, my baby WOO!!".... my words exactly.

[@nicolas6820]

i bought my first nb 00' miata today, i cant sleep yet, im so excited, believe me, the best buy you will ever do, i will give all my money and time to make my miata, the dream car i just has been dreaming for. :)

[@TheSlipAngle]

Congrats!

[@j.acencc6273]

this video is literally like a song to me I can listen to it while I drive without watching a single second of it and try to learn everything about a pure Miata as far as parts catalog. And then the end is like a bonus just hearing the car flying around

[@fez455]

awesome video yet again Love the track portion. Having a car to put that many smiles on your face is what its all about keep up the awesome content Quinn

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Brendan Wilbur Thank you!

[@sickdevs]

Great vid, thanks for taking the time to share your car... As a new owner of a early NA car that i'm slowing developing this is a real inspiration!

[@alexmartinez280]

Bro... wholly molly!!!! My energy level after watching went up 20 fold. My baby is my NA high reving E92 M3 that Inhave had for over 5 yrs and 113k+ amazing miles. ITB, high revs, manual and very soon to be dieted to as close to 3000lbs as I can. Thank you for this video and your channel in general. Can not wait to dive into my dream garage business for like minded people more seriously and move away from my 9-5 that at this point I have lost nearly all taste for. Cheers brother!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Awesome man! I really like the E92 M3 and feel ya that it's weight was it's biggest downfall. I own a Z4 M coupe personally too. Good luck on the build and business, I'd love to see them when they are done.

[@kassios]

Man, I own an NB miata for 15 years and I can resonate with your enthusiasm when you drive your baby! Great work, great video!

[@dan1braden]

This is my dream car.... Congratz on this amazing build. Anyone can throw money and parts at a car, but to end with just an awesome result... PRICELESS... Great Job sir!

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Daniel Braden Thank you!

[@woodensauce1063]

I've finally reached that stage of car ownership with my miata where I am beginning to modify the interior to my liking. I remember watching this video around the time it came out and I just glossed over your enthusiasm for interior customization, but I get it now. I've started by installing a ghost box and radio panel delete, deleted the center console and replaced with a shorty console, and I have many more plans. The interior of these cars is almost as customizable as the performance and it becomes its own money pit 🤣

[@WatchYorHead]

@The Slip Angle can i ask what center console that is? its really clean and i would love to get one

[@TheSlipAngle]

Stock. I just wrapped it with Redline Goods leathers

[@Flooozeee]

You're an inspiration to many people. I love your attention to detail, great job man

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Franchot Palma Thank you!

Great video man! Thanks for taking the time to make it. I really enjoyed the driving portions and I could tell how much this car means to you. I'd like to build a similar car myself someday when I'm older. I'm 6'7 and I've never actually sat in an older miata, but you seem pretty tall so it may be possible haha.

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Collin Graham I'm only 5' 10". You might be able to get away with a small seat bolted to the floor, but it would be tight for sure.

[@mitchsterling3266]

Thanks for reminding me how much I love my car.

[@alexnaoumov]

Oh and it's the best sounding miata I ever heard imo ;)

[@j.acencc6273]

My personal favorite Miata in the world. My go-to what I'm trying to figure out what I want to do to mine. Although mine is a 2003 nb-2. I also live in New England in Rhode Island right on the Connecticut line I would love run into this car one day. The sound of the car is unmatched by any other fiata I've ever heard. I'm looking into trying to mimic sound bye ordering the exact exhaust components. I would love to email some pics of so far of my build. Or I will do a walk-around of my car posted to KZbin and comment the link. your car is my motivation awesome. Good luck with it forever and thank you for building it

[@redlineriders2695]

I absolutely love what you have done with this car, I’m slowly modifying my 02 NB and it’s a blast !

[@nagakirikiri7631]

This is an unbelievable attention to detail. This has changed my decision from forced induction on my S2000.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you, but honestly the S2000 is the sweeter car out of the box....shhh don't tell anyone ;)

[@sidkazami]

You really inspired me to get a NB! Man, your knowledge is amazing! I plan to work on mine but after I pay off the loan first! And I need to learn a lot about the technical aspects as well. CHeers man, I salute you! Keep doing what you love! Both your Miatas are glorious!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you very much! Good luck on your car search!

[@Chris_Drifts]

When you tried 60 thousandths head skim, was the engine super interference at that point? Or was that when you moved to 100 thousandths that it became super interference? I’m looking to do a similar sort of build on my car only a little less extreme. I want to either do 40 thousandths or 60 thousandths on the 99-00 head with the 10:1 comp bottom end.

[@garry2280]

Your videos inspire me to build my Miata. I have a base 99 with original matching numbers engine.

[@MiataMods]

Very very nice clean build! I was wondering why you didn't do a cooling reroute. Could you elaborate on that?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you. Honestly, I think that the coolant reroute thing is a little over exaggerated. Spec Miata cars cannot run the reroute and they run 4 hour enduros like it's nothing. This car being N/A really doesn't get hot. With my big Koyo radiator water temps average 180-190 F. I also have an FM oil cooler. On a forced induction car that sees a lot of track time, I could see the benefits of doing the reroute. My turbo NA gets hot with the same radiator and an oil cooler on track.

[@JuanCastillo-xv6jp]

how is your fire extinguisher mounted? Is there an off the shelf kit I can buy ?

I am using a Brey Krause fire extinguisher for a Miata seat rail. I think there are other off the shelf offerings on the market now too.

[@lukamatijasevic890]

One of your best videos to date....my fear is that small number of subcribers will keep you off from uploading new videos in future....but you are getting bigger and bigger :) Little self promotion is not a bad thing...so feel free to promote yourself whenever you can. After watching your videos am instantly back in the mood to work on my car haha. I hope that turbo NA review will be great as this review. And you still have that standard blue NA? It would be nice to see review of that also.

Im sharing this to a few miata groups in europe and i hope you will reach 3000 subscribers by the end of the day ;)

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Luka Matijašević Thanks man. These videos do take a great deal of time to plan for, shoot and edit together, which is mostly the reason why I don't upload as often. I don't monetize on the channel either so it's really just a labor of love, but I really do love automotive! Unfortunately, the Montego Blue M Edition I had got totalled by a guy who ran a red light at an intersection years ago. I do miss that car. Thank you for the shares! The more subscribers the merrier!

Can I please ask where you got the black bonnet struts? I can only find chrome one's for NB's!

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Guss_Bruss From RSpeed.net years ago.

[@walterbdixon]

Quinn, great review. I first got the itch for ITB's last year when I watched one of your other vids. What's the advantage of using the 99-00 head on the 01+ block? Wondering if I could yield similar results on my 01 while retaining the VVT head?

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Walter Dixon I only kept the BP4W head because I didn't want to re-wire the car for VVT and at the time there was no reasonably priced ECU that was capable of controlling VVT. VVT will help improve low end power, which I had to sacrifice some by having a fixed position intake cam gear that is set to optimize top end. Other than that the head designs are identical otherwise.

[@TheSlipAngle]

***** Lack of aftermarket offerings mostly. Skunk2 now offers a larger throttle body. There are also a great deal of people who have swapped what is referred to as a "Square-Top" manifold from JDM versions of the engine as well as a decent amount of people who have modified B-series Honda aftermarket manifolds as well.

[@FamasXFreak]

That's the best looking NB I've seen, great job!

Hey Quinn, are your Elise seats raked back or are they more upright. I just got a pair and I noticed that the headrest is really high compared to stock when I set it to how im comfortable.

when are you making the 185hp, at what RPM, maybe bumping up your redline a little will bring out some more power. Do you have a Dyno sheet?

[@TheSlipAngle]

On Clubroadster there is a dyno sheet in my build. Power peaks at 7600 RPM and stays flat. I don't want to stress the stock rods any more by revving higher. I'm pretty sure I am at about the limit now.

[@mitchsterling3266]

Thanks

[@limaball]

Clean car! I might steel some of your ideas. I have a 99 atm I picked up to replace my MSM that was killed by a deer last year. One of the first things I did do to the 99 was swap the later nb2 center console to get usable cup holders. I love what you did with the lotus seats... I used to have some 2005 non probax seats that I had adapted for 5 point harnesses. They were nice but like you said, totally uncomfortable. I never even though about reupholstering them! Now I'm wishing I did! Are you worried about spark with the 99 ignition? I've heard bad things since I've been researching on the 99-00 nbs and was considering going the cop route. Also, heat-wise do you have any issues? I notice you're not running the reroute. Ok last question, e85??? LOL I'll go check out some of your other vids, maybe I'll find answers.

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Phil Miecznikowski I have had no ignition problems with this car or my turbo Miata at 19 psi making 254 whp on stock coils. I think COPs are a bit of a snake oil myth and probably only needed for big turbo cars or maybe 8400 RPM +. No issues with overheating on this car. e85 is not readily available where I am, but it would make a little more power with e85 or race gas with the current compression ratio.

[@Nontas1993]

One of the most complete if not the most complete ITB Miata's i know off ! Beautifull car from all aspects and deffinetely one of a kind. It really shows how much you enjoy it. Please never sell it ! :) I would like to ask your opinion quinn on a problem i have with my recently acquired ΝΒ1 99' Miata, since you are a master mechanic and you know this car inside out. I bought the car about a month now, with about 68.000 miles been loving it so far, it's in a bit of a rough condition though but with time i hope i can someday make it at least half as clean and pretty as yours. The problem i have is that when i'm low on fuel, but well before the E mark on the gauge so not that low. Everytime i even slightly push the car on a left hand corner and that's when the fuel swings to the right of the gas tank, the car cuts out completely, no missfire or anything, just like turning the key off. And then a second or a second and a half after it comes back again. I'm 99% sure it's something with the fuel pump or the gas tank. It almost never does it when i'm at half a tank or more. I already changed the fuel filter, and i want to clean out the gas tank as the next step, since after all these years it will have some crap in there. And then if the problem persists i will change the fuel pump. I hope i can get it fixed since it spoils all the fun and it's deffinetely not normal for the car. Any thoughts Quinn ?

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you very much! As far as your problem goes, I would pull the pump and sending unit and inspect it. Make sure that your fuel tank baffling hasn't broken free as well when you can get eyes into the tank. The cutting out with lower fuel levels certainly sounds like a starvation issue. You might want to change the fuel filter as well just as a general maintenance thing.

[@Nontas1993]

Garage Quinn Motors Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge Quinn ! I have thought pretty much the same so far. It's definitely starvation. I did pull the fuel pump assembly twice so far. The first time to check the sending assembly and the pump motor, i didn't find nor could i see anything out of the ordinary. No debris on the filter sock or the piping of the assembly. The second time i pulled the pump to check inside the tank with a flashlight and with my hand, mostly to check the baffling like you said and again i think everything seemed to be in order. I mean there is baffling at the areas where the fuel comes in from the gas cap and to the right of the tank. Though i don't know how a normal miata tank looks inside since i haven't seen another one before so i can compare. I also already changed the fuel filter and it's still does it :( Again thanks a lot for your response and your car is an inspiration !

[@hawkgeoff]

Quinn, why does your exhaust not sound blatty/ ricey? Is that due to the increased compression or is that attainable with a stock 1.8 motor? Awesome car... love it!

[@frankargain5792]

Does your ECU (Megasquirt?) use throttle position, manifold pressure or a blend of the two? I was seriously considering this about 8 years ago but people were having a lot of trouble with partial throttle fuel control. Great for racing but not for a daily. You don't seem to have any problem at low or high speeds.

[@frankargain5792]

OK, Adaptronics. I just found your ClubRoadster thread. It goes back to 2008!!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Adaptronics yes. Everything is tuned off of TPS. I don't even have the MAP sensor hooked up. With that said it took a bit of fine tuning to make the driveability nice.

[@jacobarnone9220]

With your Drive Ratio in the Diff. whats your take on not changing the drive ratio, but still running that wheel and tire package on stock suspension?

[@TheSlipAngle]

It's okay, it's going to lengthen the gears though. I run a 6 speed with 4.1 now in this car.

[@kolesidisgiannis]

Any reasons why you didn't install the very popular frame rails + butterfly brace combo? You think it's not worth it?

[@TheSlipAngle]

I have just the frame rails on my turbo NA, but the weight increase wasn't a big deal because it makes a lot more power. The NB chassis is more rigid so I don't think they are really necessary. The roll bars add a lot of rigidity already. The rails + brace is just a lot of added weight without much benefit in my opinion. Especially on a car like this where keeping the weight down to make use of the limited power is important.

[@jo23bulls]

All motor builds are the best!

[@aaronwalker7287]

Did you switch the ECM in the car and if so to what? I'm wanting to run an ITB set up on mine and am trying to see what i will have to do sensor and tunning wise. Beautiful car btw!

[@TheSlipAngle]

Yes the car has an Adaptronics ECU. You will need TPS and an Intake Air Temp sensor (so no more MAF).

[@aaronwalker7287]

Garage Quinn Motors thanks man that's a big help

[@pridus1987]

great video! with your experience i wanna to ask you.. i am consider to buy a toyota mr-2 or a mazda nb 1.8 what you suggest between thoose two cars?

[@TheSlipAngle]

I actually really like the MR-2 Spyders. Both are great platforms, Both have plenty of after market support and engine swap options too. If you are not trying to compete in a particular Auto X class or anything like that, I would pick whichever car makes you feel the most warm and fuzzy inside. Seriously :)

[@ryanking6651]

Garage Quinn Motors we'll be doing a big comparison soon..... stay tuned!

[@bartvanriel6767]

how did you mount the Apr mirrors? been looking all around trying to find out how its done and I figured you must know

[@TheSlipAngle]

Hey Bart, I am a set of base adapters for the Miata. They were made by a company called Slick Auto. I am not sure if they are still around. The base adapter allows you to utilize the existing two threaded holes in the door.

[@bartvanriel6767]

Pretty neat, I was looking around for them and found their website however everything is out of stock so I'm not sure if they're still in business. Thanks a lot!

[@freshwipe]

Love this vid! Can I ask your opinion - do you think 15x9 225/45/15 on a stock NB is overkill for street/autocross?

[@TheSlipAngle]

+freshwipe I think the 9" is just added unsprung weight when you are dealing with stock power. I run 8" with 215 wide for my street setup on this. You can run 225 on an 8" just fine. I would be willing to bet the time difference would be negligible. GRM did a tire test on an NC a while back and the wider tire/wheel combo was a little slower given the added weight and lack of power in the car to make full use of it.

[@freshwipe]

got me thinking, around what price would i be looking at if i were to give a 97 miata with the 1.8 150whp, significantly less than the 185 i assume? if it's cheap enough it would be fantastic, would it need to have higher compression at 150?

[@TheSlipAngle]

My first setup with an 02 block, BP4W head, BP5A intake cam, ITBs, header back exhaust and ECU did 152 whp. That was with no porting, head shaving, etc. It's tough because as you go down the rabbit hole, a K-swap quickly becomes the more viable option in terms of cost vs gains when chasing N/A horsepower.

[@infamousjuan7714]

For the same amount you spent on to build the motor do you recommend it to people or is boosting a better or cheaper option?

[@TheSlipAngle]

I think for all motor power, K-swaps are a better option at this point. Forced induction is certainly less expensive and more bang for buck in terms of power. All motor stuff provides an experience though that you certainly pay a premium for.

[@infamousjuan7714]

Garage Quinn Motors okay really interesting. Thanks for the advice and for responding

[@ian9568]

Awesome street car! I thought the same about the car being something similar to how Tsuchiya would keep his AE86 as! Hands down you got a really sweet Super Street Car.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you!

[@minilite7184]

just discovered your channel - great mods - makes me dream about modding my own NB - shame you don't live in England !

[@CungNguyenify]

+Quinn Kizis how much money do you think I need to get a set up like your miata?

[@melody3741]

omg you did the 4.778 diff swap? how is it? i was considering it and bought the ring and pinion but then got a 6 speed and that was good enough for me

[@TheSlipAngle]

It really helped the car, but highway cruise gets really annoying. I have recently picked up a 6 speed and am going to go back to a 4.3 FD.

[@KevinSmith-xt8xr]

where can you get those silicone hoses from ??? i've seen them in a few bp's in japan with their itb or carb setup

[@TheSlipAngle]

Samco makes them

[@KevinSmith-xt8xr]

@@TheSlipAngle thank you

[@alexnaoumov]

Thats damn nice man. What car do you prefer, your turbo one or this one?

[@TheSlipAngle]

+Alex Naoumov Thank you! I prefer this car over the turbo one ;)

[@Albertouy]

You look life a fairly tall guy. How do you fit on your Nb?. I'm wondering to get an nb and I'm 6'2 so just wondering

[@TheSlipAngle]

At 5' 11" I fit pretty well. You could probably get by with a lower mounted seat like I have, but your legs will definitely be bent a little. You would probably fit into an NC much better though.

[@jakegreen3852]

I love this build and I'm getting a Miata this year I'll be shooting for similar power numbers and I was wondering what it cost you to get this power and performance. I might go NA but I'm also thinking of forced induction.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thanks man. It was expensive. I would recommend just going K-series for all motor power. It will cost the same, but the outcome will be much better.

[@ErichHaubrich]

Unreal. You are a ninja master. Cheers.

Thank you sir!
