Thats a really good deal. When we built Rhys engine last year, assembling it ourselves was around $10k, that is machine work, all forged internals, all new seals, cams pistons, rods etc. I also spend a couple of hundred dollars for specialty tools. It was very stressful, and I had a really anal friend that had all the measuring tools to put it together. If I ever need another one built you bet I'll be using you to build it for me! See you at MATG!

Have you seen the supercharger available with the trackdog kits? Given the low torque Output I wonder if with that kit and ethanol someone could make 300hp on a stock vvt? Keep crushing it l👍

I CANNOT wait to see Corey driving this again with a huge smile on his face. This car is gonna be awesome. I will see you and him at MATG!

Awesome video brother. Just one question. My wrist pins won’t go into the rod small bore. Do I need to pin fit them at the machine shop? Is this common?

Have you had any problems with the BE oil pump pressure relief valve sticking open? The forums seem to be pretty scared about that

this is great for people who are looking into going down the rabbit hole. wish this was so clearly explained before i built my 400hp mx5 so i knew exactly what i was getting myself into other than forums saying "try to price up the entire build, then double it" its a lot of money but the level of return you get is crazy

Guys im buying an NB next week. This will be the first project car I ever buy... hell the first car im buying with my own money, and I was thinking to swap the engine but... i drove it the other day and something about k swapping it feels so... mundane. I would like to build the engine to do what it was designed to do just... faster and better so to speak. Hearing sweet sweet turbo noises wouldn't be bad here... but are there any first mods you guys recommend? I'm going to have a bit of money left over so I wanted to get a quick release first and a good wheel and then eventually get a CCP fastback hardtop for it. Where should I go from there? Edit: It's a 1999 and everything in it is functional. Even came with an aftermarket radio and the roof has a hole in it (although its patched but kind of leaks and there is wind noise on the highway.)

damn thats some spicy machine shop price. very very fortunate to have the machine shop i have around my area and how good they are to me i couldnt imagine paying that much but you pay for what you trust.

Thanks!

Good stuff man!! Was gonna send it on the built engine.. but I decided to get the car painted instead. I've already got the car making around 250whp - enough for now, wanted to make it pretty after spending so much time and money on mechanicals! The engine WILL be coming though! Hopefully I'll see you at MATG - this year is my first year and I'm STOKED! Especially seeing that Mazda Motorsport is going now too!

What are the best gaskets to use? I heard another channel saying that some generic gaskets can fail prematurely.

Again thank you for another very informative video. How building just the engine head? Would you be interested in that? A NB1 head you install the supplied Maruha cams, SUB's, valve springs and stock sized Supertech valves with bowl blend and 3 angle valve job.

Would you be so kind as to drop some info on "why" you dislike the skunk intake manifold (and throttle body?)? Thanks - they do seem to be a simple upgrade, and I can get one..

Would be awesome if you offered a head only package as well. I feel capable of doing the bottom end work, but all the shimming and valve seating seems like another level of skill. Is that something you would be able to quote?

Man I wish you put this video out over a year ago when I sent my engine off to a terrible builder. I got the engine back and idek if it’s built well. He was also very secretive about a lot of things so I’m worried it might blow up 😭

I will be at MATG! I'll be in a red NA with Hot Wheels livery. I've been running your cobra intake on my VVT swap, and it's been awesome! A bit fragile, as it's been cracked for a while, but it's getting replaced with a TDO 2560 setup early next year. Can't wait to see you up there!

I’ve got an NB1 engine that needs a rebuild. Planning to turbo as well, would love an engine build package with all parts!

Working with you on the build was awesome, can't recommend you enough. Happy to see everything working out for you since you went full time.

You're starting to become a Miata Jesus but without the long hair. Legit content! Gospel to the people!

If you call this rambling, then we love to listen to you ramble.

so would it be more cost effective to do a turbo kswap or a booster vvt? thats where im at right now.

Just received my brake master brace and absolutely love it. Beautiful design and impactful!! Thank you for all your hard work on these cars keep the grind going!!!❤

I would be down for the Engine Build Box. I would be the first to purchase!

Well i dont feel so bad now were im around 20k into my 400hp 1.7l (1.6 bored 30 thou) build 😅.. but i still have alot to do b4 i feel im finished .. (you know how it is with the forever projects lol) ... always great and informative content brotha ..much respect ... peace and love brothas , keep it radical , stay safe , and build on ... l8z my miata brethren.. ps yes i plann to be at MATG this year 🤞🏽

2 back to back videos letsgo! Machining prices are brutal over there yo, I just picked up a decked, bored, honed block and a decked, fully checked/measured head for like 400.

18k...well, that explains why the exterior is looking meh. All the money is under the hood...as it should be. Cheers.

Very interesting. In my youth I lived in Rochester and worked at Dorschel Buick for 3 years. I drove an MGB at the time. I drove it across the US and sold it in Vancouver. Then I returned to UK. I had a string of RX-7's and for 20 years now I have been driving MX-5's. I currently have two NA's, 150bhp and 200bhp BBR Turbos and a standard NB 1600. I've enjoyed watching your video.

Enlightening. Maybe one of your videos will feature an NA 1.8L build (non turbo). Would you still stick to using forged rods and pistons? Anywhere from 150 to 200 WHP is all some of us are interested in. Looking forward to seeing you at Fontana Village.

How did you know I was sitting down

What are your thoughts on the Fast-Forward Supercharger kit?

Where can I find one of those front support bars in front of your intercooler?

Thank you for all this. I appreciate your video on building too. I have a somewhat beater 91 1.6 that I'm looking to freshen up over the off season that I use on the track only. Going to be my first time assembling and plan to use that video. Hope one day can come to you as a customer too!

Excellent content. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Kupo!

What if I want to hit 400hp on a stock block 1.6 with a Holset Hx35 tractor turbo my dad gave me?

doing calc 2 homework and watching Napp at 8am is the best

yes id absolutely love the engine parts in a box. i'm not too specific on what combination of parts work well together but i do have the ability to assemble the long block. great idea

It costs way too much (might as well k swap)

Yes pleaseeeeeeeeee ❤ feel better

I work in racing and always wondered about the E Production engines. Often NA 1.6’s built making 230hp at the flywheel, with short service life and designed to run restrictors. I would often hear quotes of 20-30k for the motors for top SCCA national builds. Wonder what it would take to build a 1.8 NA that ran exclusively on e85 for the “street”

Currently building a high RPM NA 1.6L with ITB's with my son. It's been the best father-son bonding experience. Both of us have little to no experience. Just want to give you a massive thanks for all the fantastic content and insights in your videos, this one included. It's videos like these that help us power through the gaps in our knowledge and spend the most amazing time together in the garage wrenching and bonding.

That's a lot of info to digest. Will take watching the video multiple times for all of it to sink in. Saw your laptop is an ASUS ROG. What OS are you running? I have a G74sx with Linux Mint. You're getting me worked up about swapping in a 1.8L VVT into my NA6. We'll have to visit during MAG.

This is the content I come to youtube for ❤‍🔥

K is the way. I put a k20z3 lsd fwd on my 1st gen insight but seeing this build is honestly really exciting and all the handling grip on the chasis with that power.. i swear I can hear the vtec scream!

Damn, never heard about this ECU, but it looks real nice. I'm running a Speeduino currently, definitely wasnt running 100% perfect until I installed an NB crank sensor. It'd be cool to compare all these new kind of ECU's. Seems like cheap ones are getting better and good ones are getting cheaper and I'm not sure when I want to push more than 300 hp in the future I'd trust the speeduino.

What are these ECU based off of? A modified Speeduino?

So what’s wrong with the speedyefi? I have one got form someone who ended up selling the car before he even installed it. So I got it cheap. The megasquirt is better if only because the afr is built in. They all run tuner studio. Is it a software or hard ware issue? Maybe I should do some more reading. I dont remember seeing any negative about the system.

Great easy to follow tutorial. You rock!! Congratulations on the new house. I can’t wait to see what you develop in the new shop.

what a great video to while while I do mind numbing work on my birthday. good stuff!

Well, you've convinced me to do a VVT swap. But im curious, what fo you think of Hummelink modifications VVT adapter harness and his products in general? His specialty is high HP naturally aspirated engines And in the topic of NA engines, what do you think of the skunk 2 manifold for that application (with a target of 180-200hp
