    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports 3 місяці тому

      @dmcharlestt4945 the all in cost will vary depending on how you source the engine, either from a salvage bike and then part out, or buy every engine component you'll need individually. Buying a running salvage bike is a great option because after parting out all the stuff you don't need, you'll end up getting the engine for free and possibly pocketing a few bucks. The base kit price is $3800, and this includes virtually everything you'll need to get going other than shifter (there are several options) and ppf delete. Getting down to 1600lbs for a track only build would be pretty easy. There's just so much stuff you can delete if you're not worried about having heat or a radio. If you need to retain some luxuries such as lights or an interior, it may be a challenge. I'll be weighing v2.0 of this car soon. We did a decent amount of cutting!

      Good question! Unless there's a difference between the manual and automatic tubs, I can't imagine it would. Actually, I think there's the potential to simplify the process adding a clutch lever instead of the pedal. If you went with the paddle shift option, you could mount a hydraulic clutch lever to the trans tunnel. This way you wouldn't have to cut a hole in the fire wall and mount the clutch pedal.

    This is sick definitely want to see how it holds up to drift applications especially with oil starvation.

What are the steps ? I gotta know

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports 10 місяців тому

      This would be an awesome drift build. Using the 4.3 or 4.1 diff would give you incredible torque multiplication. Plus the swap moves the weight distribution back a little bit, which will help with inertia drifting. We've done lots of track testing over the last two years, and oil pressure hasn't been an issue. Even with tons of aero and race tires from our spec Miata we never saw any big dips in oil pressure. However for added protection we do recommend running an oil pan baffle. They're available for about $50 from Schnitz racing. Once the first few kits ship in the coming weeks, I'll be working with one of my customers to make an install video. It's an incredibly easy install. After the initial installation, the engine can be removed in 30 minutes or so, making it pretty doable at the track. The initial install requires 4 holes to be drilled in the tub of the Miata for the engine mounts, and two more for the drive shaft carrier bearing mount. Then you pretty much drop the engine in, wiring harness and all, connect the fuel pump wires to the stock busa fuel pump harness and you're off to the races, so to speak.

    How do you think this engine and gearbox would fare as a competition drift car? I think lightness is key but I'm concerned about how the gearbox will hold up to repetitive clutch kicks.

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      For your application, I would upgrade the clutch basket and clutch springs. Other than that, I don't see any reason it wouldn't hold up really well. I plan to attend some drift events this year for testing/promotion.

      @@spec13motorsports Thanks for getting back to me. I see in some of your other comments that you are limiting the top speed to 100mph due to concerns of excessive load, is that right, and if so, why?

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      @jaiden270274 No, we're not restricting speed to 100mph. The Miata in our first video at Palmer was equipped with a 4.3 diff, which will yield a 100mph top speed. But nothing is overloaded if speeds are kept below 127mph, which the 3.6 Miata diff will hit with this swap.

    It looks like the motor holds pretty well. The last video I ever saw of someone trying to Hyabusa Swap a Miata showed it constantly stalling so I was under the impression that the Miata platform was just too heavy to the Hyabusa motor.

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      It holds up great! Very stout car power plant if you keep the load to a reasonable level. I'm not surprised they were stalling it a bunch, the clutch is extremely touchy. I still stall it from time to time haha

    Did you change the oil pickup/sump at all?

      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      No, we are running stock pulling system on both test mules. We haven't had any issues with oil pressure with either, but if you wanted extra assurance, you could get an upgraded oil pump gear and high pressure bypass valve from schnitz racing.

      @peanutbutterpadre1519 yeah, it must not be as much of an issue with the Hayabusa. They've proven to be a very reliable car power plant on track. The Thunder Roadster GTR uses the Hayabusa power plant, and their rules only allow the high pressure bypass valve and oil pump gear, which tells me it's not a concern because then the rules would allow for dry sump, accusump, baffled pan etc.

    Do you have a lot of rake in the car? I lowered the rear of my ls3 a tiny bit (i can't remember the exact number, but it was two turns on each the rear coilovers) and my ability to put down power went up astronomically. It looks like you're fighting it on corner exit. Super cool car!

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      There isn't much rake in the car, though less would certainly help. We also run 3 cars in spec Miata, and that's one of the only ways we have to tune suspension balance. It's amazing how much of a difference a half a turn makes!

    How is the underhood fitment with the 3D printed intake manifold? any hood cutting required?

    • @austinhamilton9537
      @austinhamilton9537 Рік тому

      Also you mentioned the idea of branching out to other vehicles - I am interested in the feasibility of swapping the first gen 86/brz twins, any thoughts on the platform? Does this sort of powertrain make sense in a heavier chassis such as this? Any concern with communication to the modern ECU's? Very excited to keep tabs on what you guys are doing here.

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      The under hood fitment with the available intake manifold is tight, but no cutting is required.

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      @austinhamilton9537 we're exploring the BRZ/FRS, but I'm afraid top speed would have to be pretty limited to keep loading down and ensure reliability. We've only tested with the stock ecu with a Schnitz Racing tune, but we're working on a project that will allow us to experiment with the ecu more

    • @spec13motorsports

      No, but with so much weight off the front tires, you don't miss it at all. The steering is much lighter than my Spec Miata on the same tires for comparison

      The paddle shifters work beautifully and allow electronic clutchless upshifts! We also offer a manual cable actuated shifter, but not nearly as cool in our opinion.

    It’s amazing how small the engine is and how much room that opens up for things like a tilted radiator and extractor hood. The weight balance must also be somewhat rear biased, which could be really interesting.

    • @spec13motorsports
      @spec13motorsports Рік тому

      Yeah, it frees up a lot of room under the hood. I know you aero nuts are going to love it haha! It does take a good bit of weight off the front, yes. Turn in is much more eager, lots of front grip. It requires a slightly different approach to suspension setup when compared to a standard Miata.
