Re-Starting the Turbo K Swap Miata!

[@TheTamurai1]

Good work! Must be an amazing feeling to get it running after 3 months of wrenching!

[@NappMotorsports]

Big relief

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Motor swaps are a LOT of work. Glad you got it going!

[@NappMotorsports]

Endless project haha

[@bvward]

I feel your anxiety! In NJ, when the car that is 1995 model year or older, no inspections... Plus it is every two years on newer stuff, so time allowed to "play". You can be checked for faulty equipment/non-existent (cat converters) equipment on the older vehicles. Glad to see it back on the road...

[@NappMotorsports]

We just have safety inspections if the car is 25 or older.

[@MrHeisenb3rg]

The ratchet strap trick sound alike a life safer.

[@NappMotorsports]

Only way I can do it solo!

[@38tech]

Bruuuuh. Yes. It's a good feeling to get things buttoned back up and drive off. My nb2 was down for 5 days and it felt like forever, could only imagine months. Your significant other must hate that thing. Haha Wish I could swing by, but I'm literally just driving through in my mother in laws accent on my way to nw Georgia.

[@NappMotorsports]

She has her own hobbies! Hahaha

[@GundamAeroMx5]

Why wouldn’t you film it running with no trans on it….20 minutes of talking and doesn’t film the best part of this whole video…

[@NappMotorsports]

*shrug*

[@KrispyKrme]

Nice work man! Was the lean issue related to the loss in voltage?

[@konradgeorgeson]

I didn’t catch if he mentioned it, but it would make sense. Battery voltage was dropping by the time the car was idled up to temp. Fuel pump/fuel pressure was dropping with it

[@MrHeisenb3rg]

That was my first thought when he said he was having battery issues.

[@NappMotorsports]

Way late response. Low voltage = not enough dwell on the injectors. So they can’t fire enough fuel and the car runs lean.

[@kclips2518]

So if I buy your turbo manifold I can put on a gt 25 on my accord

[@NappMotorsports]

I’ve never tested it on an accord. PRL makes one that should fit though.

[@enriquealvarez4702]

I like to run some color in my water just in case i have leak.

[@NappMotorsports]

Not a bad idea but if it’s not oil, it’s water.

[@josuepagan4085]

Im swapping in a k24z3 in my miata and idk what to use for wiring harness and standalone ecu! What are you running?! Sick build btw!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks! I’d use the KPower harness with a Hondata or Haltech ECU

[@datboi8140]

What was the issue with the warm idle

[@NappMotorsports]

Alternator wasn’t hooked up, so it was losing voltage. Low voltage = not enough dwell on the injectors so they couldn’t spray enough and it leaned out.

[@johnmurraycompton569]

Awesome man! Glad you got it up and 🏃‍♂️ again. I can FEEL the joy!

[@NappMotorsports]

Huge relief

[@opethmike]

This makes me so happy.

[@NappMotorsports]

😊

[@MrFlysunday]

Hey mate amazing setup been following you for ages. I have a few questions if it’s ok to see exactly what you used re getting a K24 in one of these cars. I’m in Australia not a lot of options here to buy stuff off the shelf. What’s the best way to contact you? Cheers Joe

[@NappMotorsports]

I used the KPower swap kit.

[@ricepony33]

Great trans mount tip!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@datboi8140]

Keep up the great content 👍🏻

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@davejones17]

Nice job.

[@NappMotorsports]
