Pushing the Limits of the Stock Mazda MX5 Miata Bp 1.8 Engine on the Dyno

[@markwalton8644]

270 in a Sub 1000kg car is no joke with a Nice Linear power😊

[@baddaddy8718]

Wow the mongrel has come a long way Matt! She’s a real beast now mate, you’ve built an incredible race car

[@jimschafer9196]

Sweet tuning job, look forward to you next track day and the reveal of the drive performance.

[@Urchfab]

Me too, track day next week! Cheers

[@garrydeimert7397]

Nice build dude, have followed you a bit over the last few years and Steve is an a1 bloke, really knows his stuff, have used him a few times and always had a good day with great results…

[@tompayne4945]

1:15 perfect.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Wow, and some!! - great video Matt, I hope the welding teaching takes off, couldn’t wish for a better instructor than yourself. 😊

[@Urchfab]

I hope so too. Cheers

[@SB-vb8ch]

Remember it's not just boost acting against the wastegate actutor, you also have drive pressure trying to lift the wastegate off it's seat so depending on how well the hot side is flowing will impact on how much boost lifts the actuator. That's why multi port actuators are used so you can keep the actuator shut until you want it to open. Decent numbers for whst jt is, can imagine that's a lot of fun.

[@Urchfab]

I see what your saying bud. Cheers

[@MartinMcMartin]

Welding lessons from you would be great value, your credentials are shown loud and clear in your build video's.

[@Garffey]

Good stuff Matt, great to see how far the 'Mushy pea' has come...making nice power too!....Look forward to another track day video!👍👍

[@Urchfab]

Me too, Cheers

[@oldieman730]

Little green rocket now. Can't wait for the next on-track video.

[@waldi2302]

I love small cars, with engines which pull through every gear. That's a nice build andd I bet that thing flies arround the track.

[@peterbonnez]

I'm very fond of this car. It's powerful too!

[@keithtatum6366]

Hope your welding classes take off brother. Sounds like a ripper. God Bless you brother

[@rickh6963]

Your cameraman did a great job on this one Matt!

[@terencehawkes3933]

Matt. i hope your welding classes take off. You are a master welder If I were in thr UK instead of Canada I'd be knocking on your door

[@Urchfab]

Well if you ever fancy a holiday! Cheers

[@davidlee4966]

I am interested in your welding course, I am ok with the basics, but watching the standard you work to I have a lot to learn, looking forward to hearing more about it, fortunately just up the road

[@Urchfab]

Hi David, The June dates and booking details are up on the website urchfab.com See you soon! Cheers

[@wrathofbod]

Great stuff, when do we get to see the mini out and about.

[@Urchfab]

Soon ish. Cheers

[@davidyates748]

That's a proper angry little mongrel now 😁 I bet that's a whole lot of fun to drive, it'll certainly wake you up that's for sure!

[@bringbackbritishrail9919]

Lovely Lancia HPE in the background there.

[@martinfletcher8275]

don't forget the rover🤣🤣

[@danstewart8218]

Looking good!! Someone had already said 270 in something the weight of a mini is effing quick...;D

[@GarJaMi]

A mini is a lot lighter...

[@adamdiaz8442]

Mate tha massive power to weight ratio really pleased let me no when u are at Mallory il bring the mini down😅

[@adamdiaz8442]

N/Aall the way 😅

[@lemmister]

great work mate... i trully enjoy your videos... nice motor... you had a 1.6 toyota before, right?

[@Urchfab]

It was the same engine just with itb's on it. Cheers

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

Well done Mr 😎

[@Chilled_Mackers]

Superb stuff as always fella! Great to see Mongrel in good health \o/

[@Urchfab]

Cheers

[@animal_engineering]

Hell yeah so sick watching the continued progress of the car, remember when ya first started copping up the rusty mx5 and starting out. little lambo killa now. can i enter the AIM deal if in ozzy? awesome work

[@Urchfab]

Thanks for tagging along bud. Yes you can enter from Auz. Cheers

[@leonsparks9458]

Would be interested in the welding course. ...

[@Urchfab]

Details are up at urchfab.com Cheers

Hold it flat Mat!

[@mikecurrington5641]

I think its great as it is Matt.

[@Urchfab]

Cheers

[@davidlawrencebanks4610]

Nice one... Like a glove!

[@mrwolsy3696]

Never sell it, the pea is your crown.

[@cam3002]

What COP are you using? Is it better than the stock Mazda coil pack?

[@Urchfab]

I think they're audi r8. Have a look at Really Broken Always, they supply the kits.

[@kevinlyon9501]

Mushy Pea with extra chilli.

[@knownfishyplayzscr9234]

I rode in the car!!!

[@rognevs5695]

So mucker who got closest on guess the new hp 😮

[@apexaero]

K Swap it my friend! Build yourself a K24 with a K22 head in a billet block and a sequential trans! Build yourself some metal tubing with V-Bands and get rid of the rubber hose for your boost tubes.

[@Urchfab]

Would love a K swap, Intercooler pipes are on the list!

[@meXicossie]

No K swap needed just a 2.3 turbo MZR from the Mazda 3 or 6

[@markwalton8644]

@@meXicossie The Original chassis is Mk2 which has a different engine. I think the Exhaust and intake are on the opposite side and would take a lot of modifications to fit the 2.3. The Engine your referring to was in the Mk3. This is all what I read somewhere so Don't hold me. A K swap would also be the more exciting engine with higher Revs and Boost is a Great combination!

[@apexaero]

@@markwalton8644 K swap, LS swap all part of the game when it comes to work and time!

[@markwalton8644]

@@apexaero The LS swap needs the Transmission tunnel widening and is a Pricey job to do. You're probably on your way to 15k with the LS. Jag V6 is a good swap with 270-280 N/a and no weight penalty for 7k

All of the rust seems so long ago

5 yrs!

does that guy have a flip phone?

[@danloosmore8099]

Why do you call it a Miata? It's a MX5

[@vanillagoose4444]

i stopped watching this channel because of all the racing shit, there’s Tons of that crap on KZbin! you had a good fabrication channel shame you got bored with it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Urchfab]

I wouldn't say I'm bored of it but the racing is what motivates me to actually do the work. I enjoy driving cars far more than working on them so there wouldn't be one without the other I'm afraid.

[@vanillagoose4444]

@@Urchfab i realise that but if you compare your views to your fab work you’ll see what i’m getting at, Its what set your channel apart, your an excellent fabricator and i think you should just try more adventurous stuff along that line, Just trying to help as i feel your letting good content slip when it was becoming huge ! all the best to you though whatever you decide its your life after all, didn’t want to sound critical or hateful just wanted to give criticism in a good way incase you hadn’t realised this type of content is plentiful.
