- My Mazda MX-5, or Miata, is back on the road after over a year of being stored in the back of a workshop. While it run, it doesn't run well, so I'll be cleaning up, fixing, and replacing parts of the intake, engine, and exhaust system. This is the first video of a couple of engine-related videos I have coming up, in which I take off the air intake system: throttle body, EGR valve, and intake manifold.
I have a 1.6 liter, Mazda MX-5 NB. I'm fairly sure these were only sold in Europe and in Japan, while the US Miata's came with the 1.8 liter engine by default, which has a different intake manifold layout. If you have a 1.6 BZ6E engine, this video should work for you, whether you have an NA or an NB generation.

Closing notes:
As much as I think that working on your car is both great fun and very cost-effective, any work you do on your car is at your own risk. I made a best effort to correctly state all torques, tools, etc, but double check these before you follow any of the steps shown in this video. Please work safely - I've been saved by good safety equipment more than once. Don't do stupid things - don't work under a car supported only by a jack, don't use sharp tools without protective gloves, and do get yourself a nice pair of safety goggles. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I like your well-documented repair. Definitely one part of what I will be doing to my Miata in Spring '24 to get it started/running after sitting in garage like 6 years. Keep up the good work 👍
I have a Miata too
Very nice video. Thank you.
You packed a lot of information into 14.5 minutes, almost too much. So many TH-cam car mechanical videos stretch out the simplest work into a series of overly long videos. It’s refreshing to come across someone who values the viewer’s time and is doing the opposite.
I wonder is this head and the na 1.6 head the same ?... all the ports and such look same sept I have no EGR and no ABS 😅 .. simple lol ... nabut this is a good vid for service and cleaning bro .. ps the intake is like u said , pop bottom open first and no water to runners ...but again good vid bro and great on detail tbh .. much respect my miata brotha ... peace and love fam keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z.. ps nice miata bro it looks pretty clean and well maintained
I think they are very similar but there are some differences it seems… I’ve also seen them with the EGR on the back of the engine, and with no egr indeed… I think the 1.6 wasn’t even available for the NB in the US. Love the NA, simpler is better haha, but they’re rapidly increasing in price here… Thanks for your comment!
@@thegreygarage right on brotha and he'll yeah simpler is well simpler lol 😂..thanks for the responce broski ... peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z fam and have fun miata brotha .. l8z
