Any updates on the fleet? :) It's been a while since the last video, I hope everything is going well. Just watched another E24 restoration and your project came to mind.
Awesome video! BIG Thanks! QUESTION: I noticed that your 2.0ltr aluminum part of the intake manifold (the one that bolts on to the head, before the plastic part) has no 'swirl flaps'. How come?
Great Video, This may be a stupid question but I am pretty new on this, can I use a 2.5 engine that came from an automatic car donor if my mx5 is manual or it does not matter? I was thinking about doing the same swap, but most of the good car donors I find are auto.
You two, Yeah BOTH of you, Have you no shame or just like to taunt? Is this a little game you like to play? Not one mention of the E24 , yet there it is........ Right There in multiple shots. JK, thanks for the Vid
@@lavachemist no worries we are all good, was just a crazy year of non-car things that took me away from this for a while. I’ve had part 2 80% edited for a good while and just haven’t finished it up but I will soon!
I’ll bet the spark plug coming apart had more to do with detonation than anything else, you probably had a vacuum leak near that cylinders intake port.
I do not see any links to anything by "Armand" (if that's how you spell it) but, my computer has the Google, so I found a bunch of stuff. so, thanks for giving me the name at least.
@@daledavies2334 this one is from a Ford. Even though they are nearly identical, the Ford motors are cheaper than the Mazdas by a pretty significant amount.
Not talking about interface i mean the timing relying solely on a diamond friction disc to stay in place thats why they have a one piece parts to replace it
So well done and full of good tips. Really wish you had done Part 2.
That 2.0 L deserves a medal.
i didn't think i would watch the whole video but it was pretty well made! good job and nice info
Waiting for part 2 :)

Be sure to loctite the bypass bolt. Another 2.5 swap blew up because the bolt backed out.
holy shit i loved this! I have a 2006 and i'm trying to do this next summer with some cams :)
Update!! Give us updates

@@adtvchannel3 yep, can be from an automatic car.
Great video
Where did you go? I need to know how the BMW build is going.
I want that telescoping ratchet.
It is incredibly handy. I bought a 1/4” one and loved it so much that I had to go back and get one in every size.
I vote even if you finished the project come back for more videos or updates
This channel seems like perfect way to introduce working in cars to my gf
More E24 movie-videos!
You two, Yeah BOTH of you, Have you no shame or just like to taunt? Is this a little game you like to play? Not one mention of the E24 , yet there it is........ Right There in multiple shots.
JK, thanks for the Vid
Very sad there is not only no part 2 but no more videos at all from the channel. I hope everyone is okay.

How was the track day?

Why would anybody be embarrassed to subscribe to your channel?
Is it non interference engine like in NA and NB?
Can you 2.5 swap a 97 NA Miata?
Where did yall buy the engine from
Where’s part 2
put on socks that defends your cold air intake from getting wet
Is the replacement engine a Mazda or Ford?

What is the 2.5 motor out of?
This one is out of a Ford Fusion, but they also came in the Mazda 6, Tribute, and Ford Escape,
is that a BMW M635 in the garage on the right?
I wondered that too...
cool thanks for the video, I just got a 2015 NC3 club, I'm hoping to kill this motor soon soon to put in a 2.5
Where is the motor swap video? This is a parts swap video.
Put some 'spect on Almond's name!
What car does the 2.5 come from?
A bunch. It was in Ford Focuses as well as some Mazdas of the era
Where is part 2?

Never, EVER use a prybar/screwdriver to pry against machined aluminum surfaces.
I dont trust anything that use friction in a motor especially timming parts bmw does it and its $10,000 repair ill have it keyed
You realize that TONS of engines are interface right? Like tonnnnsssss
Not talking about interface i mean the timing relying solely on a diamond friction disc to stay in place thats why they have a one piece parts to replace it
Pretty funny… a $200 dollar motor that costs thousands to swap.
