K24 Miata at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

[@bluehorseshoe7171]

It never get's old. I always enjoy watching this video with the earphones on.

[@D.AndreTheCreator]

mannn this is so sick.. at 1st I was sold on a 1UZ swap... but I saw the k miata kit... this is definitely the way to go!!

[@CoastalTides]

Sounds like half of a GT350 motor.

[@JLUDE01]

I thought the V8 builds were the way to go until I realized you can use the K24 swap without having to cut or weld a single thing! Plus you get better weight balance and better traction coming out of corners at WOT. Plus, Honda engines are way more reliable than LS engines.

[@kpowerindustries8210]

Yeah, a K24 in this chassis is a perfect match. It actually drops weight from the front of the car and the car still drives like a Miata, despite all the additional power.

[@accordv6er]

K motor is a better swap but to say a K series is more reliable than an LS is a baseless statement.... Apples to oranges. Totally different engines with different purposes and both applied in a huge variety of applications and variants. The LSx is NOT by any stretch of the imagination unreliable. Neither is a well maintained K.

[@jamaisvu2664]

How much total weight is lost up front? I know you say between 30-100 lbs but is that just the engine or including the tubular subframe which I’m sure reduces weight

[@mathieulevasseur4082]

JLUDE01 LS engine less reliable than a K24? They are simple and underworked engines with very little that can go wrong. I personally think they are a tad more reliable than K series engine. Heck, a mechanic I know told me he once saw a Silverado 5.3 with close to a million km on the odometer with the original engine.

[@mrhrobinson]

Honda engines are not way more reliable than la engines. They are on par with each other reliability wise, I have owned both. Actually had more problems out of the honda engine than the LS.

[@Kirito3773]

Man this is sick! Would love to see from the point of view on your helmet.

[@Between2Turns]

I’m surprised it met the noise restriction for Laguna Seca.

[@BChan1991]

that dude was properly going for it....that little car is a beast too

[@transdayofrevenge]

What is the spec (diameter, muffler setup, cat setup, etc) on the exhaust? Sounds freaking gnarly.

[@verothacamaro]

This sounds so good!

[@BrevikBrodie]

Every time I think about supercharger or turbo I come back to this video and it convinces me to do k24 lol

[@fastballfilms4214]

Can't wait to order my kit 😈

[@ChoPi-Eww]

Sounds raspy and mean! But I hope you had ear plugs for the drive out there.

[@kpowerindustries8210]

+Colin Kao it wasn't street driven out west, it was shipped. And the exhaust is especially loud in this video because the microphone is taped to the rear bumper.

[@musshwins412]

this is just unfair hahahaha. no one took the k miata seriously until he lapped the car in second place. every car just seems better with a k series engine.

[@drock3913]

Ok I gotta do this: Vtec kicked in yo!

[@alltheboost5363]

Seems like you were holding back.

[@xnoVAS69]

great run. love this build.

[@grecoconduris6716]

Dam! What sort of power does that thing have?

[@kpowerindustries8210]

230whp in this video if I recall correctly

[@businessman2085]

What exhaust is this?

[@TheThecharliejolly]

i love the k series power im just not a fan of the raspyness exhaust sound honda engines usually make

[@willthacker5182]

That's the type of engine that should've come in the NB. An engine that likes to be revved & makes 200ish hp wakes those cars up & makes the chassis start to work like its capable. I'd love to have a nb miata w/a K series. There just so damn small inside. The factory seats & steering wheel would end up being the first items to go. Otherwise the dept of your pockets is the limit w/those cars. You can build a hell of a track car if you can afford it.

[@MrEli204]

Sounds fantastic. We've got to stop the miata on miata violence.

[@MagicalLisp]

I wish I could do this to my 93. I have the garage and tools to do it. I'm just broke...

[@VictorPitstop]

Yaaaaas.

[@jeffwasilko]

Don't you think a cage would be a wise choice in a car like that?

[@ZHGAmingAllTheWay]

He has a roll bar for sure.

[@MrCTruck]

Ferocious

[@aygwm]

Wish it could be CARB legal...

[@evan_n6136]

That thang nasty

[@Thesaviorsway]

Just imagine what a renesis swap would do :)

[@DanielLopez-fr3if]

How much horsepower was this car puting down? I know you guys have made more modifications in recent years. @kpowerindustries8210

[@DanielLopez-fr3if]

hahaha nvm found it "230whp in this video if I recall correctly"
