I watched this video maybe three years ago. And because of this video I told myself that one day I'm going to take apart my Miata's engine and rebuild it myself. Keep in mind I'm not a mechanic or anything, I just work on my cars when I need too. Well I took the dive and did it. Got it machined and bored out to 1.9L. Fully forged bottom end, stock head, and some other goodies. Running a EFR 6258 and making 350hp and 300lb ft tq. It was a stressful, but soooo worth it in the end.
Wonderfully clean and tasteful build. Gave me some good insight because my 1.6 NA is down to just the block and I just happened to find this video. First time rebuilder and I'm doing it mostly on my own so I need to see stuff like this.
I loved doing up 4 cylinder engines, way cool, watching this has been therapeutic for my OCD perfectionism, the pride and care they take, these guys should have been surgeons 🧐👌
I'm a student in highschool rebuilding a 2.3l mazda 3 engine and this actually gave me more of a clear picture of what to do and how to do it even if this isn't for a fwd car :) so thanks dude!
Ah it's so nice to watch. Just did a full refurbished head with all new top end gaskets, seals and belts on my 1993 1.6. There is something amazing about a well running engine.
@@WOWSERSWILL go in steam on pc and get a game called wrench its a mechanic simulator they are constantly adding more things new engine to work on soon will be a v8 from a c6 corvette you build this exact engine bolt by bolt teaches you how to install valves proper torque sequence and everything and you can change the transmission clutch suspension ect.
I absolutely, 100% sure, enjoyed every single second of this video. Beautiful to look at, makes me want to get a second engine for my MX5 just to rebuild it. Sad thing is I don't have the money to do such a thing... One day in the future I will :P
Really? Just buy a $300 craigslist block. Take is down to a bare block and take it to your local machinist to bore it and hone it. Then once you have the right measurements, go about getting the right pistons and rings, h-beam rods, ect ect. Then have the head rebuilt, ported, and polished, and replace those springs with a set of heavier springs. If you're feeling gutsy, have the head shaved a few thousandths for higher compression. Get the coolant reroute kit, a lightweight flywheel, and a good clutch, stick her all back together and when you're ready, pull and plug the new one in. Just don't forget to give it atleast 10K miles before REALLY thrashing her.
It'll cost a pretty penny in the end, sure, but the initial investment on a new block and tearing it down to be milled will be more than enough motivation to stick with your plan.
+Richard R I'd absolutely love to but the 300$ block is at least 800€ or something over here, apart from that you're looking at all (forged) internals and all the other stuff and you're probably at at least €3k if not more.. Might not be a lot of money to some, but as a full time student that's like a year's income for me.
+JaguarJay That said I might undertake something like this whenever I get a 'real' job, in the meanwhile I'll just stick to the trusty old stock 1.6 :P
+JaguarJay damn, €800 is freakin huge. That's close to triple the cost over here. I'd just go for getting a Honda K series motor then. There's swap kits for that and the power is ~230 PS when tuned on stock internals. Sorry to hear you're in such a bogus area...
+vkotis hahahah I wish I had one too! We rented that shed for 10 days and did the whole rebuild there. All the other maintenance will have to be done on the street... Thanks btw!
Thanks!!!! At the moment I am installing a replacement mishimoto radiator and a fuel line leak is waiting to be fixed. But I think even this week there will be a new video of the mazda
I find this video inspiring haha. It's embarrassing that my Miata doesn't run right now (crank no start) after a timing belt. Hopefully I'll have the know-how and space to do something like that in the near future :)
keep in mind guys, this isn’t the engine in every mazda3, ford fusion, etc. this one has a timing belt, some of our cars have the 2.5 fomoco with a timing belt and multi port injection, so some things may be a little different
Great build man. My biggest question is WHY did you use a base Gates timing belt and not the Blue HP Gates belt I use on my turbo 1.9 1991? I have 2 other 1991s as well. One is a 347ci Vortech S-Trim SBF that Martin at Monster Miata built and a 416ci GM Crate Edelbrock Eforce LSX 720HP/595trq built at Flying Miata. both cars are running magnum T56s,built IRS 8.8s 3.73s in the 347 Ford and 4.56 in the LS...Suspension in built as well. the cars are done 100% proper. Good work man.
dont install your rings like that, you want to pull them apart and keep them flat the whole way going on, if you install them that way they will be bent which you dont want. if you want to see what i mean, pull them back off after you install them that way. also pounding the piston into the cylinder like that is a good way to destroy the rings, you want to very lightly tap the piston down into the bore, if its hung up or tight then something is wrong. i didnt see you use a gasket or any sealant on the oil pan so idk how that isnt going to leak virtually everywhere but i youre driving it around so apparently its fine. other than that stuff it looks like you did a great job. cool car man.
Nah man... The rings will snap before they're bent. Although it would be better to use ring pliers so you don't risk the rings snapping or scratching the piston crown.
wished I had watched this earlier. In the process of reassembling the engine after what appears to be a near identical build. Mine is a 2005 MSM. Rebuilt with 2000 intake, Skunk throttle body, all ports gasket matched, Supertech low compression pistons, etc. Installing a Garret 2876r Turbo. Doing a cooling reroute but wondering now if I should convert back to stock? Engine will be reinstalled next weekend. Concerned about tune. Using a MSPNP Pro. Engine is being rebuilt after last professional tune caused a meltdown of cylinder 3. Advice?
Your build sounds pretty sweet man! Will probably pull much nicer than mine. A coolant reroute always sounds like a good idea! Concerning your tune: If the cars timing will be tuned when the coolant and engine are very hot is always a safe option. That way, if your engine gets very hot then youll know for certain that the timing you are running wont hurt it
I left my engine at the machine shop. I want them to build the bottom end. But realized I already bought the oilpump.... is it possible for them to build the bottom end WITHOUT the oilpump? They wont use mine. That way I can install it myseld
+Car Karl Danke man da kann man nur auf views hoffen. Der Block ist gebohrt mit 2mm übermaß von 83mm auf 85mm und geplant. Kopf ist ebenfalls geplant und wurde sogar komplett überholt von sps. Edit: Gehont wurde der Block danach auch selbstverständlich. Man kann glaub sogar den Kreuzschliff erkennen am Anfang
320 Ps.. mein lieber scholli.. Seit ihr vom Fach oder war das mehr ein Hobbyprojekt? Hattet ihr bisher Probleme mit dem Motor? Respekt für die tolle Arbeit!
Good video, I'm in the process of deciding to buy an 05 1.8 nb mx5 and doing a 400-500hp build. But I have one question for you. Why did you not refit the locating dowels back into the block for the head? It concerns me abit as I have witness a head gasket fail on a build when the guy did t bother to refit dowels after the block was decked
+SkylineYD the motor that failed had studs also, but thanks man, it's not my first 500hp build. Im a die hard Toyota man, but have taken a liking to the mx5, only Mazda I loved was an rx7 till I looked into the mx5. What management system are you running for the tune?
+Gareth weare At the beginning I also didnt like mx5s at all. I thought that they were girly and all... But now I am a huge fan obviously. I run a MS2PNP with coupled to a LC2 WBO2
Hey! The deck surface had been machined so the head (also machined) would properly seal. Block had also been bored out 2mm over stock and honed. Hope thats the info you were looking for
This may have been covered, but what is going on at the very beginning when you are putting what I THINK is the piston ring in the block and pressing it down with the piston? I am guessing it has something to do with Ring Gap maybe? What is going on here?
love the music! very fitting considering thats a 90s car and we all remember how cheesy yet enjoyable the tunes were back then! :] also, what muffler are you using? that thing sounds nice and low with no rasp (though, the turbo probably helps out a great deal with killing rasp too)
It is a Fox muffler so just google " Fox Sportauspuff " and there you will see lots of different exhaust parts. Mine is basically a straight through muffler but the pipe inside of the muffler has holes in it so it probably allows good flow with reasonable absorption. Thats probably why the car isnt too loud, except for cold starts obviously hehe
8 ปีที่แล้ว
DriversDelta Looked around and yikes... lot of variants! I'll do some more digging once my work schedule calms down! What of the sound? you get any rasp from that thing or does it make the tone nicely low?
No rasp whatsoever! If you ask me, it sounds like an Evo that can only rev to 7200 rpm. i was even surprised myself that it was that subtle of a sound, since I thought a 3 inch turboback will be a fartcan exhaust. If I get the exact model description of mine i will let you know!
8 ปีที่แล้ว
DriversDelta awesome and thanks for the wealth of info! I've currently on ANSA and it sounds like utter trash :/ there's even a chap with a CX Racing long tube header and a twinloop silencer and it somehow sounds like a boxer4!!! Though, his is a 92 with an all stock 1.8 swap from a 95. I know valve timing/cam profiles can have a dramatic effect on exhaust note but I don't think there are aftermarket cams for these cars. But I've also read that pipe thickness and material could cancel out the rattle/teniness that makes the rasp. Bah! I dunno, I may just put a walker silencer on it and enjoy my Cosmo intake... at WOT everywhere! LOL
Nice job man keep it up. Got my like. Can you tell me where you got that turbo manifold from? And are you running the stock ecu or which one did you put in? Answers would be appreciated.
DriversDelta thanks for your quick reply mate. Well i am planning to buy a miata but im a newcomer into the tuning scene. I wanna get forged rods and pistons and put thwm in as a preperation for a turbo but do i have to remap it even for a high compression set? Or can i leave it like that until i have enough for a ms2 pnp and a turbo.
can we reuse the head bolts or do we need new ones ?Ive heard conflicting reports. some say they can be reused in a certain tolerance, I hear 4.125 in, I measure mine and am at 4.583 on all +\- a couple thousandths
Does the 1.8 not have the piston #4 cooling issue like the 1.6? I would think if you spent all the time and money to build an engine like this you would protect it with a simple coolant reroute.
Did you up the rev limit with the better internals? I know you can up it from stock stock some You could probably get at least a bit more unless you run into valve float issues
Do you have a video on how to synchronize the engine with the cylinder head? how to put it on time? That's the part I don't know, hot to put the cylinder head on TDC.
Nice to hear that ! Stock NA6 and NA8 engines don´t come with that baffle so i´m searching for a unit (Maruha, Kazspeec...). Anyway head rebuild video would be great !
Sorry to disappoint you but YES they do! Even the other 1.8 that I took apart on my channel had this baffle built in. Even the stock oil pump pickup bolts to the baffle with one 10mm nut. So no need to buy custom baffles
Thanks! The car (and engine) held up pretty good so far. I already put 10000km on the engine (6200 miles) and it worked perfectly. The only Issue I had was a leaking Mishimoto radiator and a stuck oil pump relief valve.
Sehr cooles Video! Darf ich fragen wo du so teile wie Turbo Krümmer downpipe Lagerschalen etc gekauft hast? Und wie's mit dem TÜV so aussieht?(auch gern per PM) Spinne momentan selber ein wenig mit dem Gedanken vom Umbau herum ;)
Love the video. Being a novice, i'd like to replicate your build. Did you use a combination of Supertech P4-MA85-N3 pistons & 028CC14133 K1 rods? Also, where did you get the recommended torque values to use on all your bolts?
Hi, the combination you posted looks about the same as mine. I took all the torque specs from the shop manual except for the ARP head studs. there was a paper that came with them that stated the correct torque. So far this engine has been reliable far over 6000 miles as a daily driver
If you don't mind, how much power did you get from this? Building a similar set up. Ive got a fully ported polished cammed head with stiffer valve springs. Just wondering what you got from it
It is in the description mate. But yes, pistons are forged supertech 85mm pistons and rods are also forged K1. Cylinder head is rebuilt to stock specs so stock rockers and so on. Cheers
+Datttsnake The block was bored out to 85 mm (2mm overbore) and honed. Head was rebuilt too and I got them for a relatively fair price. But let's just say all in all it was rather expensive and you could have bought a stock miata in really good condition for all that money. If I wasn't going for forged internals and race bearings I could've probably saved some but since we are boosted we want to put down some torque!
I watched this video maybe three years ago. And because of this video I told myself that one day I'm going to take apart my Miata's engine and rebuild it myself. Keep in mind I'm not a mechanic or anything, I just work on my cars when I need too.
Well I took the dive and did it. Got it machined and bored out to 1.9L. Fully forged bottom end, stock head, and some other goodies.

It was a stressful, but soooo worth it in the end.
gotta love the old school gran turismo vibe with the music :)
Reminds me of sonic 2 on mega drive
This is what fathers and sons should do together
Cant wait to do this with my father when he gets out of prison. Got a mazdaspeed 2.3l disi motor I want to build with him :)
Did you do it @@NewDemons666
Never knew an engine build video could be so soothing and relaxing.
This week on How Its Made..........
I knew I heard that music before!!
Thank you for posting this video! It was really interesting to see how a forged engine is build!
Wonderfully clean and tasteful build. Gave me some good insight because my 1.6 NA is down to just the block and I just happened to find this video. First time rebuilder and I'm doing it mostly on my own so I need to see stuff like this.
How'd it go?
I second this, how’d it go?
im in the same process right now .. hopefully all goes well lol

+Franglais! This engine was actually used in a fwd car and rotated to go in the Miata :)
+TheAdrocky really? that's pretty cool!
+Franglais! Thanks to hear that! Good luck with your build man!
Not much is more satisfying then building your own engine and hearing it come to life
This should be on PBS right after Bob Ross and I should be watching on an old CRT tube, I swear. Cool video, man.
Ah it's so nice to watch. Just did a full refurbished head with all new top end gaskets, seals and belts on my 1993 1.6. There is something amazing about a well running engine.
2K Tan nice. A 93 is the 1.6 to have. Long nose crank.
This music take me back to the late 80’s 😎 Guy doing the work must be an old schooler.
Definitely using this video to follow along on our soon to be ITB all motor build!
Great music..
such an inspiring video man, I'm actually pulling a few bps apart myself. got 2 1.6 and 1 1.8 to build!
Love the long format. Great work!
THIS IS AWESOME! a great video for a noob like myself doing my first rebuild. Thanks for the great content.

+DriversDelta go for E85 friendly lines when you replumb your lines so you can eventually go for an E85 tune. That is, if they have E85 in Germany.
DriversDelta plz make video in details and parts
I find this video inspiring haha. It's embarrassing that my Miata doesn't run right now (crank no start) after a timing belt. Hopefully I'll have the know-how and space to do something like that in the near future :)
I know...the way he rammed that piston rod all the way in...It was a delightful sight...
Love those ronal turbo wheels under your mx5. One of my favourite sets of wheels!
Like that 70s porn music. Unh.
Yea, and he is using way too much lube lol
This guy gets off on polishing his big ends 'til he can see his reflection....eek
Well, this IS miata porn...
If you think that is 1970's porn music it is apparent you were born in the '90s plus your a porn rookie, move along kid.
Its grand turismo music..
A video with explanation of the steps would be incredible.
keep in mind guys, this isn’t the engine in every mazda3, ford fusion, etc. this one has a timing belt, some of our cars have the 2.5 fomoco with a timing belt and multi port injection, so some things may be a little different

Yea i was thinking that too...
Could be that the old one is still stuck on. Dont know.
uhh, did he forget to put sealant on the oil pan?
Wow these vr graphics are amazing
thank you ...beautiful job ..very inspiring ... let the professionals do it

jameswoodsist he definitely used rtv on the oil pan. you can see it. grey rtv by the looks of it
Nah man... The rings will snap before they're bent. Although it would be better to use ring pliers so you don't risk the rings snapping or scratching the piston crown.

That is just beautiful (2nd play through)
Hi! did you need to take the block to a machine shop at all? I am a total noob so, sorry for the dumb question. Thanks for the help
Hey! The deck surface had been machined so the head (also machined) would properly seal. Block had also been bored out 2mm over stock and honed.
Hope thats the info you were looking for
I hope to have an engine that clean some day. Nice build, If you are building all new why not go for a dry sump / remote tank ?
because daily driven and trunk :D Unlike Rb26s, the BP engines dont have oil starvation problems when cornering
Cool video. I have an extra 1.6 engine that had a rod nock. Is it possible for it to be rebuilt using the same crankshaft?
This thing went boom quite quick ...build error ?
that's just how it sounds when it max out the RPM's on a B engine I do it all the time.
„..inspired by a Japanese RB26 build video.“ Was it the oldschool TOMEI video? 😁
This may have been covered, but what is going on at the very beginning when you are putting what I THINK is the piston ring in the block and pressing it down with the piston? I am guessing it has something to do with Ring Gap maybe? What is going on here?
Yep... Going to measure ring gap
love the music! very fitting considering thats a 90s car and we all remember how cheesy yet enjoyable the tunes were back then! :]

Nice job man keep it up. Got my like. Can you tell me where you got that turbo manifold from? And are you running the stock ecu or which one did you put in?
Answers would be appreciated.
The turbo manifold is from Flyin Miata (FM2 cast manifold) and I am running a MS2PNP Standalone ECU.
Greets
DriversDelta thanks for your quick reply mate. Well i am planning to buy a miata but im a newcomer into the tuning scene. I wanna get forged rods and pistons and put thwm in as a preperation for a turbo but do i have to remap it even for a high compression set? Or can i leave it like that until i have enough for a ms2 pnp and a turbo.
Awesome video man
Nice video from a nice built. but when you screw on a head you should start in the middle and then go kriss cross (that's what I learnd)
can we reuse the head bolts or do we need new ones ?Ive heard conflicting reports. some say they can be reused in a certain tolerance, I hear 4.125 in, I measure mine and am at 4.583 on all +\- a couple thousandths
safe to reuse, if it correct on all its still spec.
right,l but whats the spec on the 03 protégé 2.0 dohc
Does the 1.8 not have the piston #4 cooling issue like the 1.6? I would think if you spent all the time and money to build an engine like this you would protect it with a simple coolant reroute.
crazy how similar these engines are with the ca and rb engines.
yeah,they are all inline and japanese.
Did you up the rev limit with the better internals?
I know you can up it from stock stock some
You could probably get at least a bit more unless you run into valve float issues
Content, very nice for a car geek... Music. Very nice for a lobotomised elevator attendant.
Great video! That NA looked amazing with those wheels and the hardtop. Hey, what was that tool used to polish the intake?
For those wondering 1PS = .986 HP so they made 300hp about
Do you have a video on how to synchronize the engine with the cylinder head? how to put it on time? That's the part I don't know, hot to put the cylinder head on TDC.
This video might be helpful

Das sieht ja mal ganz verdächtig nach dem Prüfstand bei SPS aus! :D
Nice nice video !
Just a pair of question, what is that oil pan baffle?, did you rebuild the head?
Thanks man!
The baffle is the stock one that comes in every BP motor. I got the head rebuilt at a shop so yeah, rebuilt head.
Nice to hear that !
Stock NA6 and NA8 engines don´t come with that baffle so i´m searching for a unit (Maruha, Kazspeec...). Anyway head rebuild video would be great !
Sorry to disappoint you but YES they do! Even the other 1.8 that I took apart on my channel had this baffle built in. Even the stock oil pump pickup bolts to the baffle with one 10mm nut.
So no need to buy custom baffles
whats the oil being used for reassembly? could I use olive oil?
Awesome build mate, how is the car going so far?
Thanks! The car (and engine) held up pretty good so far. I already put 10000km on the engine (6200 miles) and it worked perfectly.
The only Issue I had was a leaking Mishimoto radiator and a stuck oil pump relief valve.
hey we're do you get all the torque specs for internals? great video
Nice vid!
Are those Ronal Turbos on the NA at 02:42?
Amazing build, bro! I want to do the same exact thing. Did you install the turbo kit and tune the ecu yourself?
I feel like rebuilding a miata motor now!
Did you put RTV on the oil pan baffle and oil pan? I didn't see any.
Sehr cooles Video! Darf ich fragen wo du so teile wie Turbo Krümmer downpipe Lagerschalen etc gekauft hast? Und wie's mit dem TÜV so aussieht?(auch gern per PM)
Spinne momentan selber ein wenig mit dem Gedanken vom Umbau herum ;)
Clemens M & vor allem DriversDelta gerade das Thema TÜV würde mich auch sehr interessieren...
No coolant reroute? Any overheating issues?
Love the video. Being a novice, i'd like to replicate your build. Did you use a combination of Supertech P4-MA85-N3 pistons & 028CC14133 K1 rods? Also, where did you get the recommended torque values to use on all your bolts?
Hi,
the combination you posted looks about the same as mine. I took all the torque specs from the shop manual except for the ARP head studs. there was a paper that came with them that stated the correct torque.
So far this engine has been reliable far over 6000 miles as a daily driver
Awesome thanks.
brilliant! danke fur das vid!
Hows the engine holding up
If you don't mind, how much power did you get from this? Building a similar set up. Ive got a fully ported polished cammed head with stiffer valve springs. Just wondering what you got from it
I got 320 hp at 1 bar with a gt2560r turbo at 6800rpm. I had the BP4W head from a 1999 NB
Are your Pistons and rods forged or regular.Are you using stock rockers and valves and springs.
It is in the description mate. But yes, pistons are forged supertech 85mm pistons and rods are also forged K1. Cylinder head is rebuilt to stock specs so stock rockers and so on.
Cheers
I want a built engine in my car, I think I could learn to put an engine together.. it's just like a giant puzzle.
The music inspires me
How much power was your goal with this set up
Are factory engines all built by hand or do they use robotics for some of the process?
why didn't you use gasket maker on the oil pan?
+Nick Marangos We used silicone sealant but it was transparent so that's why you can't really see it in the video
How much money did this cost?? I’m looking to have a healthy engine that’s fully built but idk the price...
Who bored the cylinders for you? Because I'm trying to do the same build but with VVT
nice video! what turbo is that?
it is a gt2560R Ball Bearing garrett turbo.
Cheers
DriversDelta 👌
Great Job Well Done!
Just a question, did you have to port the engine block to fit the pistons? Or do they fit from the get-go?
dont forget to degree the cams intake and exhaust
How is that motor holding at those numbers?
what is that you have in the red bottle??? oil or some kind of silicone?
ramiro ochoa Some kind of motor oil or assembly lube I think.Way too thin to be silicone
What the power and did u bore it over
What was the cost for the block, and the parts to rebuild it?
+Datttsnake The block was bored out to 85 mm (2mm overbore) and honed. Head was rebuilt too and I got them for a relatively fair price.
But let's just say all in all it was rather expensive and you could have bought a stock miata in really good condition for all that money. If I wasn't going for forged internals and race bearings I could've probably saved some but since we are boosted we want to put down some torque!
the music is killer sounds like its from an old gran turismo
