K Swap Miata Intro - KMiata Build Part 1

[@XStuntManiac]

Oh boi, here it is! The k-swapped miata, wish I had one someday. Don't even need to be a k-swapped, just a NA miata.

[@NappMotorsports]

Keep looking! There’s still some floating around for a good price.

[@XStuntManiac]

@@NappMotorsports Not here where I live lol. They are expensive as hell here, and I just don't have money even for the cheapest ones.

[@pulpufictione]

The K24 is the best! Definitely one of my favorite engines.

[@NappMotorsports]

Ours too. :)

[@ruffus4924]

Definitely following excited to see the progress

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@paulbates1142]

Look forward to watching this play out.

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks Paul! Much more to come.

[@Shakshuka69]

Subbed! Excited for this. I just finished doing the fastback for my NB and I think I wanna do a k swap next.

[@dylanpudiak7963]

AD1 Fastback!?!? Always wanted to see one in person!

[@Shakshuka69]

@@dylanpudiak7963 yessir. They dont disappoint on looks but it's a whole lot of work making them nice to be under

[@NappMotorsports]

Fastback Miatas are 👌🏽

[@alejoms]

Nice video, one suggestion though.. get a mic or lower the background music.. your videos would be so much more enjoyable that way.!

[@NappMotorsports]

We actually have lav mics now, but they’re giving us some issues lately. We’re constantly trying to work out some kinks to try and make the best videos for you guys. Thanks for the suggestion! Glad you still liked the video.

[@joelavallee3074]

NA power to rule all! Can’t wait to see the payoff!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks Joe!

[@skifaster12]

Now this seems like the perfect engine for the miata!

[@NappMotorsports]

We are excited to say the least. :)

[@dylanpudiak7963]

skifaster12 agreed.

Engine out of which Honda/Accura? All Z3’s are not the same.

[@NappMotorsports]

2012 Acura TSX. K24Z3 with 11:1.

[@Salvisol]

I thought K24Z3 was a cool option for the Miata. Then I found out about the oil consumption issue Honda had on the 09-11 TSX engines. Kinda defeats the allure of cheap junk yard motors. Maybe the 12-14 engines are fine , but it limits the junkyard cheapness.

[@NappMotorsports]

I haven’t had any issues with oil consumption. But nowadays, these are about 2-3x more expensive in junkyards which puts them on par with the K24A’s from Japan. I still think this is the right engine swap if you want boost though, just in terms of packaging with the single exhaust port. Makes the turbo manifold way smaller and easier to fit in the tight engine bays that Miata’s are cursed with.

[@NappMotorsports]

Want to see this KMiata get a TURBO! For Season 2 we take this build to the next level, here is the first episode! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGbaZo2Gm76pers

[@burkean]

I didn't see it in the title. This is the lower cost K24Z3 swap.

[@NappMotorsports]

Yup!

[@joellopez1637]

Dude you need a s2000. Ap2

[@NappMotorsports]

Would love to drive one, heard great things.

[@charleslambert628]

It's sooo aggravating trying to hear you talk.

[@NappMotorsports]

Yeah, problems with just starting out. It’s better now.
