Born yesterday? You can't even think the word Miata without knowing it has a detuned engine for safety considering its power to weight. Notoriously slow. But they are everywhere and cheap. It isn't like people are really buying a Miata with the intent on making it a race car, more like they have one, or bought one and realize it isn't meeting potential. Thereby a huge aftermarket is born and thriving. K-swaps, 6 cyl Mazda swaps, stock engine builds, LS swaps even. This has kind of become the American way. Deep seated AC Shelby Cobra 427 desires. But way cheaper. We also don't plan well, so we do things a little at a time and want more and more. This dude is for the second attempt after someone already dumped way too much money into one slowly. It failed, and now want to do it right. Seems cheap. FInd out way too late it wasn't that cheap and wish they had just bought that other car. lol At least this dude is going to help you get realistic about the costs. Yeah so you build the engine for about 8k. You still have to spend way more but yeah this is where the insanity just hits hard because you are already in deep. lol

I doubt I could coax him into doing the build with me. I was thinking aluminum flywheel and aluminum rods. I want to overbore to around 2.0L with 11:1 pistons. And yes, a Fluidampr harmonic balancer.

Great breakdowm of costs. For reference, this is my build (in The Netherlands) for my 1999 10AE NB with a 1.8 VVT swapped engine. My reasoning was doing everything myself (besides machine work) and find second hand parts. Result after dyno was 157 whp and 140 wheel torque (ft.lbs). The VVT engine (75k miles) came shipped from the UK. Stock bottom end still. Work included a 1mm head shave (over 11:1 compression), Volvo valve springs, 3 angle valve job, 4-2-2 Cobalt exhaust manifold, OEM cat and midpipe, Cobalt axle back exhaust, OEM flattop intake manifold, ITG carbon intake, SPS 1.6 clutch, OEM 1.6 flywheel (shaved and balanced to 6kg) and a ME442 ECU. Total cost for the engine swap was around €4k, including the engine. For me, perfect and reliable setup for autocross and road courses, with high torque and low down power.

I would like to build the engine to do what it was designed to do just... faster and better so to speak. Hearing sweet sweet turbo noises wouldn't be bad here... but are there any first mods you guys recommend? I'm going to have a bit of money left over so I wanted to get a quick release first and a good wheel and then eventually get a CCP fastback hardtop for it. Where should I go from there? Edit: It's a 1999 and everything in it is functional.

@@NappMotorsports Agreed, engine swaps has their own issues, but the bang for buck is still towards engine swaps. All the supporting mod (think rear end for example) for a 400whp+ miata is the same for an engine swapped miata so that price tag basically equals out. You're at roughly 5-6k for the long block, not considering turbo bits, or 10k if they get it from you. If you add turbo parts, add another ~3-4-k Just talking about engine bay parts, you can drop in an LS for around 3k + another 5,5k for a ls3 crate engine. This puts you at the same price if not a smidge higher compared to your 10k.

The fact is you have to brace the downpipe. Also the new manifolds are CNC collectors so they’re stronger and hopefully less prone to cracking.

It costs way too much (might as well k swap)
@NappMotorsports7 ай бұрын
Having k swapped, you’re going to be in it for the same amount of money to go turbo, not including the k swap headaches.

You’re just wasting your money building a BP motor. LS V8 is the way to go

Depends on your goals
@kenxiong6830Күн бұрын
@ is power not the goal? A stock LS would already have waaaay more power and torque than a turbo set up doesn’t add much more weight. Oh and the torque is amazing

Make it fast first, then make it look good. The whole car is getting repainted.
