We Build A Weird 1.6 MX-5 Miata Engine With Forged Rods And Billet Oil Pump

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- With Dan's head and block back from the machine shop, James sets about putting it back together. The pistons are checked for clearance, each bearing is carefully measured, and everything is reassembled. MaxPeedingRods forged connecting rods replace the originals, and a prototype set of billet oil pump gears are installed for testing.

Bofi: 1.6 weird forged build
Me who wants to build a forged engine for the hell of it: "WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!"
I think a spy a very big V shaped clue to a future project in this video 🤟
THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME!!! Definitely some fire knowledge being thrown out there for this video!!!
I enjoyed. Very informative. Looking forward to the next instalment
This guy is great, super chill. Would love to have a go at this myself on my 1.8 vvt!
Love this! Doing the same thing with my 1.8. Going to add methanol to hopefully keep the stock pistons happy.
Nice to hear people recommending Jafromobile. Awesome work guys.
I'm currently building a 400whp track monster and these videos are _super_ helpful. Thank you for publishing these videos, they're an incredible resource.
Thank you! Is there anything you'd like us to cover in particular?
@@BOFIRacingTV We're super early in the process, so anything technical that you publish is useful. Please figure out a way to promote your videos, the quality alone deserves at least 100k views!
Not sure how I haven't come accross you before. Fantastic video with all the simple explanation you would need 👌👌 Looking forward to checking your channel out more 👌
Awesome, thank you!
BOFFIN: Boffin is a British slang term for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific research and development. 😊👍
very relaxing video !
Wow, great video!
13:08 “spread it gently, shove it in” ooo matron
OH! I have that same Snap-on Van stool! Good shit.lol
Engine building ASMR
Great video! I have a question about fitting that oil pump to the 1.6. As far as I know the 1.6 with a big nose crank used a paper gasket for the factory oil pump but these boundary pumps are like the 1.8 pumps which have have grooves and require RTV and a rubber o-ring to seal them to the block. Did you install this pump onto the 1.6 with RTV and an o-ring? Would really like to know as I'm about to start putting my engine back together. Thanks!
“ say new, but this is the engine rebuild I watched earlier this morning” :p
I swear this is like my 5th time watching this 🤣
There should be some clarification about that head. In North America the mark 2 is only a 1.8L. And that headache sitting on a 1.6L
where did you get this engine stand?
I'm installing a new oil pump now on 1.6 '93 miata engine. I bought the Melling brand pump, which is the higher cost one than the imports. But I noticed in the bypass valve housing there's no seat, just the spring being held back with the cotter key. The seat is so thin, I can't see it affecting the oil pressure. Is the seat needed? If so I can transplant the one out of my old pump into it. Also, the plug that comes with the pump to close the hole for cars needing a dipstick there, is it installed from the inside or the outside?
In the next one can you go over the pros and cons of the head? I'm building an engine here and need to decide between the MK1 head I know is good and a MK2 head that came with the donor engine.
We certainly will. The mk2 1.6 has bigger cams, more compression and solid lifters which are all useful.
What's the difference between the standard piston rings and the ones you are using??
Okay, I've been looking literally EVERYWHERE for some validation on that one snippet, but do the NB 1.6 heads actually have better port angles? I'm incredibly curious about this because they supposedly have the same casting numbers and I even asked around and nobody can seem to verify this.
Awesome vid! Where is your HQ? Would love to come have a chat
Would have went with 10.6 79mm piston I pretty much built the same engine and boosted it made 276 at the wheel on 14psi
Hi,what oilpump billet wheels do u used?? How much did they cost. Inkl shipping to germany??thx
Has anyone bent the maxpeedingrods yet? If so at what power level?
Is there a definitive source that lists all the differences between the various 1.6 MX5 engines? This is the first time I've heard about the changes to the Mk2 head. Nice to see these old engines getting some love!
We will put together a video about the differences. In summary though, bigger cams, a little more compression, solid lifters
@@BOFIRacingTV That would be great! I tend to forget where I read different bits of info. I hadn't heard of the Jafromobile channel either, so thanks for the tip.
There is tons and tons of information out there on the internet, cannot list from ipad, as have on my faves on my pc. However mx5nutz is a very good starting place
@@BOFIRacingTV What about the port angles mentioned in the video?
Would love a video and/or a detailed post on the BOFI Racing website!
Hi, do the 1.6 heads use the manifolds? ie same pattern/ size between mk1 & mk2.
I have a 1.6 FI that is ready for a refresh and don’t fancy buying another turbo manifold.
Cheers
They’re the same :)
Cheers
In your experiance with 1.6s what power levels just forged rods alow you to achieve?
Can we get an update please?
What fluid ard you using for cleaning?
It looks like bulk brake cleaner... is hats what I use soooo
It's from an engineering shop's parts washer, pretty nasty stuff 😅
bro I have 1.8 and the cylynders walls are pitted should I bore to the next size ?
Yes go half over, so 83.5mm at least
@@BOFIRacingTV so can I use stock pistons ?
i'm already lost
is this the one on seen on ebay?
No, that was a 1.8 VVT
You wana build me a 1.6 engine for my le Miata How much would you charge for something like that ?
We're a part shop only I'm afraid
Would it work 1.6 block on 1.8 head
The 1.6 are 1.8 are physically different engines
bp 1.8 head only fits on sohc b8
Rumour is you guys are getting a dyno for tuning? Is it true? And when?
🙊 About 3 weeks hopefully
@@BOFIRacingTVthats perfect!! Ill hang on for a Bofi tune !
Funky stuff
Could've been 30 minutes and it would still be interesting to watch.
Edit: Jeff who? Didn't catch the second bit
jafromobile I believe
It was Jafromobile. I'll add links to the video 👍
Wait so it's a 1.6 block with a 1.8 head? So I could put a bp4w head on my long nose 1.6?
We're in the UK so we have 1.6 until 2005, late 1.6 head on early 1.6 block
"do i make you randy, baby"
🤐
@@BOFIRacingTV glad you got it 😂🤘
