Is the stock motor dead?

I really enjoy my DD NB, I haven't updated it's "build" thread in a long time, but it now has poly diff mounts and MC engine mounts. Great little commuter, but even my 1.6 turbo is an absolute riot with it's "measly" 172ftlbs of torque. If anything I plan on grabbing one of a few NA1.8 engines available to me and slapping my T25 with a new manifold on it. After building it with rods of course.

It currently has a lower mileage stock NA 1.8 with new coil packs, plug wires, stock clutch and a few other bits I'm forgetting about. Basically brand new Tein Basics, FM frame rail and butterfly brace, straight shot clutch line...I'm sure I'm forgetting a thing or two. Oh upgraded stereo. Owner of the shop is actually a little sad that we'd be taking out such a nice 1.8, but we're putting in a even better 2.4 :O |

Small update time! Motor mounts arrived. Not the prettiest thing, although fabrication and powdercoating quality is great. Very well wrapped as well, no damage here!
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1421425862 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1421425862 Not sure which one goes where, I'll figure that out when an engine arrives. Oh! And the rest of the kit should have shipped this week, so I'll have up-close pictures of the flywheel and adapter plate asap. |
Josh, are you using a K24A2? If so, you were mistakenly sent the wrong mount driver side mount… Robert was using a K24A1 which uses a different style mount, but looks like the packing slip got goofed up with the transition.
You have my apologies, we will ship out one out to you ASAP today, along with a return label. Bonus is that the K24A2 is much prettier looking due to the locations of the bolt holes :) |
K24 ? K20?
K and f seres are one of my favorite Engines for a Miata but it's nearly immpossible to get it street legal in Germany |

Have you acquired a motor yet? I didn't think you guys had one yet.
I got to see kmvguy's parts that are ready to go into his car. What a beautiful engine setup. :drool: |

I think a f20 ,k20 or k24 is a ideal Motor for the Miata especially for a track car or something like this I really like N/A Engines like these Honda Motors because most of the time i'm driving in the Hills We got some really nice "Touge Tracks" in Germany and Europe The only reason i don't drive a Honda as a DD is they're "fail wheel drive " and a s2k is to expensive compared to a Miata |
Thanks David, never would of known!
We're using a K24 for sure, Eric, the sponsor of the build, said he's got a lead on a 100k K24 for $1200, let me find out if it's a A1 or A2 before you ship anything out. |

More parts!!
Received the (hopefully) correct A2 engine mount, and the behemath of a flywheel today. Attachment 184466 Flywheel is seriously gorgeous. Perfectly packaged too. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1421987963 Engine side http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...pscq3xqfcq.jpg Pressure plate side. Notice the included throwout bearing, nice! Attachment 184467 Thick! Still only 13.5lbs. Attachment 184468 Finally, the pressure plate bolts. Nice touch, but a little boring compared to the giant CNC flywheel. Attachment 184469 |
In for cool stuff and things.

Dammit buy the merlot!

I did get the rest of the kit today. Lots of cool parts! As usual, very well packaged. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...psf9n8zvwm.jpg Lots and lots and lots of packing... Attachment 184460 First item opened up was the oil pump adapter, beautiful piece. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422156308 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422156308 Next was a bag of hardware. Very exciting! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422156308 Then came the wiring harness. Very pretty, I recognized zero plugs. Maybe a OBDII plug somewhere in there? Maybe one Mazda plug? https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422156308 http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...psvppbrwza.jpg And the oil pan! Also gorgeous. It has two drain plugs, a hinged baffle, and I'm guessing that channel is for the steering rack. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422156308 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422156308 And finally the piece that makes this kit so miata friendly. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422156308 |
I love it.
I kinda really want to do this. Really excited to see this progress. Now buy a car already. |

Do it Ed! Dual simultaneous builds!
|
LOL the car I looked at last night would have been a pretty good candidate. But alas, it is not to be. Not yet, anyway.
Who knows. Might decide my turbo kit won't hatch and sell it. That'd fund most of the kit cost.... NO. Will enjoy watching from the sidelines. But buy a car already. |
This thread needs more updates. You are worse than I am, sitting on all these baller parts. :brain:
|
Don't blame me! The entire swap is sitting comfortably in one of our spare bedrooms, even after ~$3000, it's a lot of money for the miata, engine, fuel pump, NB steering rack, header, kpro, exhaust, etc, etc.
Soon! |
I will have a spare NB steering rack, as well as subframes. I also have a spare Walbro 255 (the one that came out of my car but is likely just fine since swapping it out made zero difference on my issues).
