Those were some awesome races! Bet if you had a 1.6L in your car you'd smoke them both.

Stop that immediately 🤣 lemme get a piece of that Volvo 😈

so much fun greg! Your miata is a RIPPER!

[@spacecassette2108]

Your 92 has come such a long way!! I am so glad you kept the Mazda engine ^_^

[@Four_Eyes]

well this looks like a fun day! appreciate the dyno overlay comparing the supra's redonkulous torque curve to the miata's, and the data at the end of the video!

[@Alex-pl6bt]

Crazy to see you over here, I love both of these channels even if the cars couldn't be more different

[@dil6969]

I laughed seeing the gauge hood wanting to yeet itself into your face every time you accelerate. Much like my old hood, the clips left the chat long ago.

[@toadbroz30]

Sure my paint is crap and I have some road rash but you can't see all the hard work and tuning I've done underneath. If your miata doesn't have any blemishes you aren't driving it! I'm still upset some vagrants cut my top and trashed my interior.

[@dil6969]

Honestly, just seeing old Miatas on the road all these years later still being enjoyed is enough for me. I've tried in vain to keep my 91 pristine and while it's really good compared to most, time and miles will inevitably accumulate battle scars.@@toadbroz30

[@acornhead50]

Such an excellent matchup between the turbo BP and LS swapped miata. Very close racing. Both are fast Miatas

[@TheeCrazyblackman]

BP BP BP!!! Good racing all around and TJ is a standup guy for the tires 🙏🏾

[@toadbroz30]

SELF BUILT MONSTER! Always stoked to see the the hard work pay off.

[@mazboengineer]

Love this video ❤ Great work as usual Greg 👌🏼 You guys really needed a 1/4mile track.. or better yet, an aircraft runway!

[@joryaugustin7114]

Really hoping to see a Ginguim collab!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

😏

[@pavelsmetana6173]

We are so proud of you Greg, you are living proof Miata is always the answer!! :-D

[@jollyfox7]

I'd like to see the red car get some much needed cosmetic upgrades next, Greg has focused solely on making it fast and functional which is sick but with this setup pretty well sorted maybe a fresh re-spray/wrap and some replacement interior parts would be nice. She's earned it 🙏 all that aside, another great video Greg!

[@spacecassette2108]

Personally I believe she’s perfect the way she always has been ^_^

[@JamesChurchill3]

I quite like the sort of stock looking exterior. Plus for the traffic cops in California it helps avoid unwanted trouble.

[@jollyfox7]

​@JamesChurchill3 not saying make the exterior stand out, just clean it up with like fresh paint and trim

[@kentworch]

Awesome video, and an amazing day at the track. Love seeing how that BP engine is going toe to toe with the LS3 V8. Nothing short of amazing. Thank you for the awesome video, and hope you had fun at the track.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@FDB77]

Can't have a CPC video without some data! Keep it up Craig!

[@accordv6er]

Dude what a good set is races. Greg you have to have the best setup BP car I've seen. Sounds so clean, so wicked fast.

[@dimitriliving]

This was a great analysis and props to TJ for buying you new tires :)

[@mrmidnight32]

My man! You missed every F&F freebie quote racing that Supra! “Noo Monica”… “winning is winning”…

[@wahaha6961]

Exciting, exhilarating, and inspiring!

[@robertpelen5358]

You had some great launches! What fun 😃

[@YeMadAzza]

I went through four separate bp4w builds, including one very high power 3076R build, and now I've got the UZ I'm kicking myself I didn't do it earlier. Still love the bp's. But that low end torque is so good.

[@ftovr2957]

Good match for the races with the LS! Front bumper of the blue car looks like it's melted or something though, not sure if that's just a trick of the light.

[@ezacher4634]

Looks like you need a line lo k and more of those rpm thingies on your burnout. Second coolest Miata I've seen. The guy who threw a Miata body on his hellcat engine is my favorite.

[@flipflop7577]

How many cracks can a gauge hood have? Greg's: yes😂 A few scars and faded paint is what a long-term project needs. Your Miata is still my fav on yt❤

[@adri1leusha]

Really interesting to see the torque curves of the miata and supra side by side! It all makes sense!

[@squidikka]

My dream swap for my miata is still a K20. Keeps the feel of a miata while making tons more naturally aspirated HP. Bulletproof Honda engine capable of much more with built parts or turbo. Most importantly, still keeps that 50/50 weight unlike the LS. I can't argue with the sound of an LS, though. The kid in me wants the LS, but the adult in me knows the K20 is the better fit.

[@The8BitHero]

Good stuff! Can't wait to forge my BP.

[@yeahitskimmel]

That dyno sheet comparison really shows why your Miata would be really fast on the street

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

I like it when the car just GOES whenever I want it to, haha. No need to downshift to pass.

[@HarukanoF20C]

None of these cars are meant for the 1/8th... Just too much power and not enough time to reel in the times "aka traction issues" ... Would love to see a 1/4 mile comparison :) Glad you were able to line up and have some fun tho! That LS3 miata is nuts! Sounds so gooodddd! Was ready by November for my b-day to plunge on a K24 now I might just do a CA legal LS3 E-rod. Ughhh the supporting mods will suck tho, headers, trans, diff, subframe sigh... It'll be worth it though!

[@crawford323]

I'm grinning the whole time watching.

[@aaronm2452]

Great video. The ls swap is a cool thing in itself but the good 'ol boosted vvt you built is designed for that car V8 makes the car a little front heavy I imagine. Your car is tuned is crisply tuned weight is properly distributed and the drag tires grip. with 375+ hp over stock, she scoots . We appreciate your videos and sharing your knowledge and desire to be all you can be

[@mcfero1]

They’re closer than you think. Especially with a turbo/ intercooler and piping on there.

[@aaronm2452]

@mcfero1 your probably right. Manifolds and turbos can add some extra heft on that little motor, along with the IC and pipes

[@Krack2805]

those ripples in the tire Sheeesh

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yo!!! That collab was insane bro!!! It was like a dream seeing you lined up against the fast and furious supra lol. Smoked him!! Monica😂

[@muaddib2678]

I love seeing the NA beating V8s and in my opinion its a bigger victory than the other way around. cant wait to get my 1.9L Miata running and the turbo dialed in... not looking for 500hp but 300hp would put a big smile on my face. Miata Dad FTW!

[@Justiscooks]

Can you add a larger subscription option on your Pateron? I'd give more to make sure these videos never stop ❤🔥

[@xXRougeNinjaXx]

OH NO HOW AWFUL, a brand new set of tires xD Awesome to see you running with the big dogs and even more amazing theyre giving the recognition you deserve💪. Now imagine if you had that macho man randy savage 1.6 liters of Pure demon essence in there!

[@susanpeters6127]

I can’t believe you’re my son, Greg! I never knew what an impact taking you to the go carts, would have on you!

[@BigBenlolz]

BP is where its at. I know its against the ethos of the build but I wonder where would you hit the limit of the block with a bigger turbo.

[@machinis]

Was this at Barona? I miss going there ever since I moved back to FL.

[@miscclique]

Love those wheels on the blue Miata. What exactly are they?

[@h_a_g_zv_i_r_t_u_a_l17]

"MONICAAAA!" 🤣

[@aygwm]

The intercooler mic is so funny

[@stevengrizzle]

Great vid as always! Can you fit a taller tire? would drop a lot of time if you can keep it in 3rd in the 1/8

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

I'd have to go to a 26" tall tire to get to 106mph (currently 23.8" to hit 97mph on the limiter), way too big for stock fenders haha

[@lockjawjak]

That supra's suspension looks like its under a heavy squat when its stationary! Is it actually bottoming out on launch? Looks jank to me but I only have a street supra so I may be missing something xD

[@MadMonkeyFriend]

I need to see these two insane miatas take a little trip to Europa for some more roll racing

[@v3ctors69]

Turbo power baby! Showing everyone EFR>LS

[@huntergaines3372]

Sorry if it has been answered in a previous video but what Fire extinguisher setup do you run on your harness bar?

[@danielpersad5789]

[@Mr6Sinner]

Why does the Supra have so much negative rake?

[@garagecedric]

Time for a track day next, or maybe some time attack event. That would be fun to see :)

[@exposhap]

Hey greg I have an 01’ with some turbo parts and loads of questions! Is there a way I can contact you for some help?

[@bryceharrison2860]

Sickkkk

[@VinceCannavaII]

did they melt the front bumper with that LS3????

[@imnota]

Idk the setup on that Supra but it aint it, that much lag for 800hp, all while falling off at high rpm, it's like worst of both world, with that much lag you'd expect a top end that's outta this world.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

To be fair I'm not sure if that's even their best dyno run or their "final" tune, it's just what I was able to source from their channel. Their setup may be more optimized by now but it's certainly a good demonstration of why turbo selection for your application is so important. Makes a great drag car but probably not so hot for street use haha

[@imnota]

@@TheCarPassionChannel Yeah it's very possible that flattening up top is it spinning on the dyno. But still it seems like it has too big of a turbo, and possibly not hot enough cams if that flat on the top of the rev range is real.

[@StingrayOfficial]

The Car Throttle guys are over here in the states? Nice!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Throtl and Car Throttle are different 🙂

[@StingrayOfficial]

@@TheCarPassionChannel Whoh! There are 3x throttle youtube channels all over 2mil subs? Maybe you should change your name to The Car Passion Throttle! 😜

[@stevebarnette]

Now let’s see you guys race half-mile.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Even if the Supra bogged, it would be blowing by me well before the 1/4. I've seen it trap like 112-113mph in the 1/8 😭

[@soccerman0021981]

Man ya'll need to hit up a proper 1/4-mile track so you can really lean into all that top end power and speed. 1/8 mile is such a tease, too short.

[@blueberrycheesecakesupremo7947]

The 2JZ and the LS are iconic engines in their 6 and 8 cylinder categories so you should be proud of that result man. In fairness you should be running a K20/K24 turbo set up to represent the best 4 cylinder engine to make things fair.

[@c0c0asauce]

I believe all of these cars would benefit from more rear height, more travel, and slower compression.

[@tubejorrit]

can't wait for the NC K24 swap ;p
