Absolutely i hate those videos that they talk with their annoying voice and saying about the process that we’re watching it with our eyes This one was perfect thank you 🔥🔥🔥
I have to say that that was like watching an artist work, And create a work of art, worthy of any museum. Pretty excellent for a guy that's taking a break. Well played.
Greg, your techniques have become far more refined since the fist build. Looks far more surgical than your earlier builds. Look forward to the day on the dyn.
This is like the best lego set in the world. Watching that whole camshaft assembly get put on top of the block was like building a lego and it makes you take a detour to build a different part and then you put it all together and it looks amazing. This is truly one of the best things I've watched.
Words cannot describe how satisfying it is watching an engine be assembled. All while being educational. Please make more of these the exact same formate exact same music. It would be much appreciated 🙌🏾
I’ve been watching for years but never commented. This video was absolutely fantastic. You have gotten so good at your craft, both in building and capturing/editing. Love your videos, keep them coming!
My guy got all the good angles. It's reasonably laborious to do an engine build but to spend the time to film it in this way ON TOP of that is seriously extra. You have above and beyond discipline.
Wow, you outdid yourself on this video Greg. Well done it's such a nice video to watch and love the background music. :) Keep up all the good and hard work!
I'd also like to add that your quality of work has increased astoundingly! I was rebuilding my first motor around when you started your big red and I've been working in the industry since. I build race motors for motocross bikes and you have done just as much as our highest of quality builds. If you do end up reading this, much love ❤️
I think you might be getting confused, the "updated" VVT head gasket from Mazda has smaller openings for the front coolant ports, but this gasket has full sized openings. There is nothing blocked off in the rear with any head gaskets as far as I know
@TheCarPassionChannel yes, after looking back into it, you are correct. Just making sure you're on your toes 😉 I'll edit it subsequently after this reply
This is the first video I've watched from start to finish, no bathroom breaks or nuthin' Just remember Craig, with this much power comes great responsibility
Thank you Greg for all your inspiring videos. This one could not be better timed, I currently putting together my shaved 2001 VVT block for my 10AE. Keep doing what you do!
Have to comment twice after watching in full.. That ol Mundo hex spin down to the last nuts and bolts represents so many years of wrenching to reach this milestone. I'm proud for you never giving up on your passions my amigo. Always looking forward to seeing what you can build! Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration and role model to us all!
It sure looks easier to replace the timing belt, water pump and main seal when the engine is on an engine stand than what I had to endure changing those parts while the engine is in situ.
Same here. Speaking of which @thecarpassionchannel I saw in this video you slid the woodruff key towards the crank pulley after it's back on. In the timing belt video I don't remember you mentioning that
Mine never came off the crank nose and just chilled there the entire time I was replacing stuff. And my pulley parts just went back on but the woodruff key still didn't move
working on an engine on a stand is an absolute dream compared to bending over or laying around on the ground underneath the car. I've done my timing belt in the car, and also dropped the trans and changed the clutch under the car. Now I have my whole engine and trans out of the car, and it's so much easier.
Using your videos as a template for my own built motor miata. Really appreciate the depth and detail as you’re pushing the limits of these BPs! Hope soon people will start to see the potential these motors have and how much cheaper they are to build than other motors!
So happy to get to see it happen. Couldnt of hoped for more. For those of us who have built engines before, it's time investing! Let alone video recording and editing such a slick assembly compilation. This is awesome you could probably do so much with this engine. I'm a little concerned with the crank being able to handle high boost though. In theory it should but who knows. That's the thing I don't know of anyone else that has run the level you might intend on it. Is there anyone else running upper 400's whp on them? If not I'm worried that it might be intended for natural aspirated builds (all out n/a builds) hense the cast material. Don't get me wrong cast cranks can still make 400+whp. But my thinking is it shares the same counter weight design as the forged cranks and we know that it's not favorable for high RPM's. All I *know* for sure is the M-motorsports crank is cast however the metal alloys used is supposed to be better than the OEM Miata one. The better design at the nose of the crank (will help mains). In theory I think it should be good for what you made before but I just don't know for sure I'm just worried since nobody else has committed their build to the unknown like you'd be doing. It's awesome 👍
Stunning!! 🥹Absolutely STUNNING video!! Perfect music choice, very relaxing yet soothing to watch and listen to! Now I can go to bed and dream about miatas and highpower BPs😴🤤
I bought a 05 nb the other day and I found your channel literally about a hour ago, you are a absolute god send and a gem, thank you daddy Greg and much love from the uk 🫶🏻
hell yeah such perfect timing on this. My 2000 BP4W is blown apart down to the long block on the engine stand right now, for resealing and cleaning everything. I'm not removing the head or doing anything internal, but replacing all external seals, gaskets, o-rings, all new coolant hoses, oil pan sealing, etc. Just ordered all my parts yesterday. Can't wait to get it all back together and driving again.
simply beautiful, had my MX5 going on 8 years now, so far turbo'ed brakes, suspension and other little bits. been looking to rebuild and forged the engine to get to a magic 350BHP and to do it myself a cherry poppin moment and this video makes me want to do it.
I build my 2012 Mazdaspeed3 engine from bare block to handle 500hp. Using Mazda edit software , I tune it on RON100 pump gas to just 310hp/470Nm@1.2bar. That was 3 years ago and many smiles for miles with zero issue and still counting. I up grade the air filters , top mount intercooler+plumbing , HPFP , BPV, downpipe, pistons+con rods, valve springs+seals, injector seals , main bearings, head+girdle bolts , balance shaft+EGR+cat delete , solid rear motor mount. Still on stock turbo+manifold and cams. Stock intake manifold+throttle body. Stock piston+valve size. Stock resonators and silencers. Stock passenger+driver motor mounts. Stock flywheel+clutch. Honestly I can't never been happier with many others 300hp Speed3 with stock internals tend to blow up when they up the boost and driven hard. It's the high torque that will punch a hole through the block. If I was to upgrade the turbo+manifold , I wud probably tune it to 380hp - 420hp on pump gas with the core foundation has been properly set up.
I don't know what it is but seeing an engine get built from the block up with the sounds of tools and clinks is one of the most therapeutic things for me.
This was so calming. On one hand, I’ve done most of what you’ve shown here except for installing pistons or taking out valves and keepers. Watching you do the whole engine almost makes me want to build a long nose 1.6 I have laying around in my basement that has mild rod knock. But then I’ll need to buy all the expensive goodies and convince my wife the car needed it. Haha. Love to see it.
I'm telling u man... this is my goal. Stroker turbo but low boost. This engine is a beast. Mazda took a ford/block that survived the Roman empire and provided us the golden template
Driven Racing has been amazing in my engine and the br30 worked so well, engine was broke in extremely quickly and efficiently. I was pulling 27inhg within 45 miles, following the Flying Miata break-in procedure. Glad to finally get time to watch this Creighg!
Cinematic masterpiece from start to finish. Giving me the motivation I needed to get going with my turbo build. Also, you really did flex on everyone with the one handed allen technique 10/10
When installing the oil seal, I think it is appropriate to apply grease to the lip before attaching it. If you are unlucky, the contact surface of the oil seal may burn during the initial engine start. It also increases the durability of the oil seal. It's a cool video showing engine maintenance down to the smallest detail, so I wanted to share the information and make it meaningful.
Watching this after playing car mechanic simulator is amazing. Although it is simplified in the game, it still gives you a sense of satisfaction. Especially when you recognize every step and part of building the engine. I hope you can assemble other engine. Good video.
An excellent video. It’s nothing but a relaxing, enjoyable build with no ridiculous or obnoxious intros, chatter or demands to like and subscribe. And yet, with the format of the video, and the pleasant but detailed view of how the engine gets built is motivating to watch more of your channel.
The parts list and details you’ve provided are fantastic. So much research and planning given away to anyone on a similar journey with their Miata. Good on you ❤
One of the best put together engine and video builds I've seen in a long time!! Very well put together, and can't wait to get started on my next engine build!! Last one was a 2008 4.7, Super smooth!!
Dear god this is relaxing. I never knew I needed a 30 minute engine build video. Kudos for doing this with bare hands instead of gloves! That is one clean engine but still. It actually looks like you got a mani before shooting this lol. Which is the ultimate way to show your miata love.
he looks so happy assembling this engine, i mean i would be too, im only 15 turning 16 this year and i have alot of passion for engines and cars, good work!
I hope Permatex sponsor you, the amount of assembly lube you used is worth more than my car lmao. I use the cheapest 15w40 as assembly lube. You're probably the channel I've been subscribed to for the longest because you actually have continuous great content 👌
Estimated Cost *Cries in poor*, that one hit hard. Amazing video, really enjoyable watching the whole process. I myself have a Honda Accord K24 where i want to do engine work for a possible turbo, only problem is that the front end has a crash and costs 2000$~ (i live in a small country with not much support for aftermarket parts and chunky prices in general, so r i p me)
Really Zen video to watch, no chat, just letting the parts and the process tell the story. Well done sir. you earned a like & subscribe from an ND owner.
Sweet build, but advice, are you sure you should be adding permatex to the oil pump? If it squeezes inside, dries, and breaks free it is going to plug a journal or bearing oil feed somewhere. I have a Ford modular and there is no gasket material there. Metal on metal. Let the oil pump and regulator do the work, even if there is a tiny leak it will be fine.
Great stuff! Though on 10:34 on the left side can be seen that you made RTV bead straight down rear main seal housing while in reality should bend to the outer edge after clearing that centering dowel. That is because there is nothing in contact with the block in that straight down area, but there is metal in contact further outside to the side. This can be seen on Mazda Workshop Manual

This is the best engine build i have seen in while ❤

This one was perfect thank you 🔥🔥🔥
i found the music pretty annoying, but otherwise yeah!
This was what I was looking for, need more long ones for my second monitor content!
I have to say that that was like watching an artist work, And create a work of art, worthy of any museum. Pretty excellent for a guy that's taking a break. Well played.
And not having a big shop to work out of. Can’t wait for dyno day!
A lot of knowledge right there….love watching it..
Hey ... by the way, is this engine turbocharged?
@@JohnKickboxing yes it is

Nice to see the use of Nord-Lock Parts in this Engine, they just work!
I find myself always coming back to this video. You sir have crafted the absolute most perfect engine build video I have ever seen. Thank you!

I'm proud for you never giving up on your passions my amigo. Always looking forward to seeing what you can build! Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration and role model to us all!
After building a few turbo Miata’s years ago it’s fun to see the whole process done again. Takes me back to the early 2000s. Thank you
Bruh, the chilliest half hour of yt ever. Thanks, that was very relaxing.
Amen
Dang! That was a half-hour?? 🤣 Went by like 10 minutes. So good.
This is my 25th time watching this build. It is perfect, the music, the torque wrench clicks, the production quality and camera angles..gorgeous.

Thanks for the relaxing video Craig.
Im $10k deep in a turbo motor build, this would NOT be possible without these videos. My favorite puzzle. Thank you so much.
can we please point out that 1 handed hex key skill. I have never seen anyone do it so smoothly!
So happy to get to see it happen. Couldnt of hoped for more. For those of us who have built engines before, it's time investing! Let alone video recording and editing such a slick assembly compilation.
