You guys need to make a gaming channel and play need for speed

relieving crankcase pressure will also free up some horsepower since the pistons are not fighting pressure on the combustion stroke... also be sure that the oil level is correct otherwise it will aerate creating more crankcase pressure. adding relief to the block would be most beneficial, rather than just the valve cover.

Love this Series. You guys are awsome. Don't care what breaks or what's the next update replacement. Its all fun and knowledgeable.!!!! Donut media we WANT more new Merchandise on your website.

Donuts best decision was hiring this man

That's probably for editing/clipping reasons donut put some music over his passes, but damn we want to hear this baby roar!! Cut the music!! I wouldn't mind watching the whole pass. 👍

Soo not worth it then basically... for that amount + what you originally bought the car for, you could have got something much better and faster...

It’s just like Initial D. More power does not mean better times.

How I wish “ up to speed “ show comes back again.

No offense, but you should have stopped there when you first saw the oil leaking and smoking. Keep trying it can only cause more damage to both internally the machine and externally the safety of other ppl on the track.

I am having the same issues with my Miata, replacced valve cover 3 times ad still have issues with my valve cover. A catch ca can get the rest of the oil

Oil leaks on any engine that's 20+ years old isn't really an L. Now you've just gotta do a full gasket job, or what would be better is a full forged internals and head build since that would force you to replace all the gaskets anyway.

Could of had a 2jz Supra ma70 for that much & have way more fun.... js

Sooo, 100 more horses and you went slower?

i love the "i'm going for a one minute forty" as that's a time set by a 911 or a shelby GT500 super snake. oof.

That stustustu is actually compressor surge and it’s not really a good noise. You can fix it by adjusting your blow off valve or her fancy with an anti lag system. A recirculating BOV would be a good investment. Also you’re valve cover breather is capped creating extra pressure pushing all that oil out. Vent it to atmosphere or plumb it into the turbo inlet.

Next episode of Money Pit 'Putting forged internals into the Miata'

Weld the diff

This guy should be banned from that track for putting everyone else's saftey at risk by running his p.o.s mazda around the track when he knew it was already speeing oil just to shave a second or two off his lap time in order to save his failure of an attempt to make a GRgone video at the track.

Your making progress. Keep it up

Great episode and so glad you guys finally got to experience the final version of the car. Good luck getting the oil spray issue solved!

Zack: “I’m zack & this is turbo pit” 😂😂

Why does it seem like he's coming in after every lap??? Wtf

17k for only 220 hp you could have spent half and threw an LS IN THERE

And yet I make more power with an L32 swap.

so..... No.

All that just to be slower and less reliable?

This car will be 1000hp and 1000 miles per hour

Well at least you got data. Data that says you’re slower. But more episodes equals mo money baby.

Big F with the music, we wanna hear the exhaust note. Not backwood rockabilly

It’s too bad that the car was smoking so much. As well as not getting a faster time after all that wrench time.

So... No? 😭

I appreciate the optimism...buut...

is there exhuast on this thing like straight pipin

are you dumb or stupid? you blocked the pcv and the breather on the other side 7:26 .... what did you expect?

It's the journey (as long as someone else is wrenching and paying for it) and not the destination.

the good part about this is with the oil issue there's more to this series now

Need a vented hood

Do this same episode on a civic you’ll get better results.

You know people that are slow race track drivers typically go slower in a faster car because they're scared. The slower cars and they carry more speed

Thats a sick jumper

That miata is garbage.

5:33 I see what the problem is.. your driving with Oven mitts lol jk nah it’s actually the car man you got a slow car to begin with.

Fix the damn oil leaks. Please don't be that dude slinging oil all over the track like a douche

Your hair looks epic 👌🏼

Ur a slow dude man.. accept it

So $17,000 = +4 seconds/lap?

Should've just put an ls in it. Modern day shelby cobra

make a money pit civic!!!!

if a stock 3.8 Buick engine will give you more hp then what ever you have done to a engine,,, it's not worth it, the options for a cheap dependable 225 horse power is really a very wide range of choices, need to make video where pull that motorcycle engine out put something in it, at least you have a decent power plant to start with rather putting bunch money 100 hp base motor, miata are great cars because you can fit a v8 in them

So the moral of the story is... if you want a racecar, get something else. This Miata is quite literally a money pit.

What if... hear me out... he just bought a $17000 car

How much would it cost to k swap this car? .....if all you had was the 17k used

2:48 that tailgating BMW really appears out of thin air no matter where the fuck you are.

It's okay... As long as it opposes James earlier video about built not bought cars

Does not compute how do you go slower wih mo powa???

Willow Springs is my most hated track in GT Sport and u guys changed my opinion bout it lol

Looks like the pressure might be lifting the head

I wanted to know why was it slowe....

Bro for $17 500 you could have just bought a faster car like a old bmw or something haha, would still have plenty left for cage and some tuning

Should've super charged it!!!

I think you are missing the obvious. Car needs a driver mod. Also if your goal was faster track times a supercharger would have been a better choice.

So the answer to the title is no?

TIL never turbo your car if you want reliability

SLOW. IT CANT EVEN BEAT A MCLAREN SENNA!

Those clicks were on point👌🏼😂

17k to make your car slower? yup thats the car mod world.

Needs cams

Do this with a B series civic or an RSX and you'll have 400+hp on just pump gas.

Not necessarily good? Just a WELL oiled machine!

It's a turboed car "major malfunctions" is it's middle name! Followed by bowed up ☝

Not really turbo, dudes just making the noises with his mouth 👄 Damn ricer 🍚.........

A all wheel drive system install would be fun to watch. 🖖🏼

No. It's not worth it.

Next video: "Is LS swapping a Miata worth it?"

One of the best click ive seen lol

Why were you not using HANS?

Guys can do Turbo on perodua Myvi year 2007.. please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

17gs and you went 4 seconds slower... killing it!

is it just me or is the top of the roll bar lower than the top of his helmet

Way too much money for not that much I feel like

Got $17,500? Go buy a S2000, or a 350Z, or a G37, or a Genesis coupe, or a SLK350, or a Boxster, or a Z4. Then drive, smile, and sell your Miata for gas money.

I hope Martin sees this comment and changes his life around

So 17k for 100hp?

Shit happens, dont murder her while haising time. She deserves care at this point, thats a glorious little project and it would be shame if she were to end up blowing up just bcs you wanted to make some arbitriaty time when there's just few more things to do

So is the lesson here no, 17,500 of mods actually made it slower? lol

17,000k in mods on that car. Next time just buy a different car JK :) I hate miata's but yours and Taylor's videos for some reason I like to watch.

When it comes to engine mods, stick to Honda or Toyota. Miata is better off stock

I wanted to hear what the car sounded like

Seat time > Mods

"Its okay, that's just more episodes" He is speaking our language

Yes i see this as an absolute win to my money, I'm just gonna stick to NA for now😅 great video I've learned a lot.

Next video - How to rebuild your engine...

17k into a miata.... Jesus.....

And this is why you get track time before investing 20 000$ on your car

For the money you could go way faster. A damn flying Miata LS swap is cheaper than $17k and would destroy that turdbo.

YH DUDE!!!!!!

I joined the fuck it club when I bought my wrx .... 2 engines and a sti trans swap later 🤦🏼‍♂️

Ewww they’re promoting snap on tools🤢

imagine spending $17.5k on something worth $2500 doing something that only takes about $1500 to make it just as fast with a turbo... P.S. I can say this because ive done that with my miata.

why did you increase the volume of the music to the max
