![I Drove GQM's Screaming ITB Miata On Track! [And Maybe The Rental Car]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cquMAZNFS3c/mqdefault.jpg)
Underdog 1.6's! I bet this is a super fun setup.
The love you guys have for your 1.6’s is something else haha. This thing would be awesome at the Dragon for sure. Especially down hill.
Sounds like it needs another 1k revs.
The sucking noise higher up in the rpms is really addictive.
This thing screaming at 8-9k would be nuts.
@@NappMotorsports can it survive 8-9k, even with these conrods?
@@NappMotorsports just to my ear im pretty sure you only hit red line maybe twice , would be nice to have a dash cam to confirm. but that motor would love 8-9k . Thats how small mototrs work. I grew up on two strokes so if you wanted every thing the car or bike had, YOU HAD TOO not be afraid to make it sing. ITs a japanese I4 thats what they do. And happily lol
Totally agree, sounds like hes shifting @3K most times. I dont under stand that trend. Like itll be bad for the motor. the 1.6 is meant to be run right up to the rev limiter. When giving my stock 1.6 the beans i almost never shift before 6000revs because the Power band truly starts @ 4k, though you do start to hear it open up around 3700k Its like a honda motor, it wants to rev to the moon. Yes when your in built up areas its rude to buzz by @ 5500 in 2nd doing 45-50 but when your out in the country, make the hills sing. lol
@@accountdisabled286 the block most certainly. its rated for over 400hp.. its the supportting mods (ecu, coil on plug, built heads and cams) that would be the deciding factor. With enough time and money yes, most probably. Hondas do it regulerly and the motors arnt that dissimalir
Awesome stuff!
Thanks!
Came here to see if ITBs on the 1.6 are any good and I think I'm gonna need to do it 😂👍🏼 The sound is insane 🥰 Just hoping I'll be able to get German TÜV approval on this without having to sell my kidney for it 😳
Awesome! We have an ITB build underway. Stay tuned for a build series if you are interested!
SPS Motorsport macht eins, das Gutachten hat.
Did you get the approval? I want to do it on my 1.8 too🙌 and i am also from germany
Love it
Sameeee
Like the 1.6 love.
Long live!
Like the look, but would want an air filter! I've seen a few converted to 40DCOE Weber side drafts, similar sound...
We talked to him about filters, but they’re super restrictive for the options that seem to exist.
@@NappMotorsports The old British sports cars had a rectangular tube that bolted to the carbs with a 4" diameter hose (think dryer ducting) going to the filter ;)
@@NappMotorsports I’d recommend he look into the pipercross filter option. Pipercross has been proven to produce almost the same numbers as no filter. I’m also running ITBs and spent many months just doing research into the topic before converting over to ITBs.
Just my 2 cents I am far from an expert.
I’d definitely recommend looking into a 1.8 BP4W or VVT build in the future. I mean unless the lack of power really doesn’t bother you. It just seems the 1.6s do not fair very well for naturally aspirated builds. Lightly built up 1.6 ITBs seem to put down maybe same power as a stock NB 1.8. Fully built ones just slightly over. Now a days 170+whp is becoming common for NB 1.8s with mild head work.
He’s pretty dead set on keeping the 1.6. We tried to convince him lol.
@@NappMotorsports Some people are just masochist I guess lol. 😂
@@biggboysouth sometimes it’s not about power, horsepower is addicting and the look for it is endless.
In this case I think it’s more a matter of character, sound and fun
@@giulioposenato9332 I understand that argument, an ITB miata will rarely ever be a power house of an engine its all character. However I argue that ITBs on a 1.6 are little more than expensive noise makers and in some instances stock 1.6s can actually loose horse power due to intake flow velocity loss.
If your going through the trouble of paying $1000-$3000 setting up and tuning ITBs why not source a NB 1.8 which is easily swap-able into any NA miata and benefit from both the upgraded engine and the ITBS which do perform better on those engines.
If all you want is the sound of ITBs there are far cheaper and easier options that will give you similar sounds. ECU, AFM delete and new Intake pipe and filter is one option. That'll give you awesome ITB like induction sounds for a fraction the cost and is proven to gain you HP at the same time.
Or for even cheaper just the new intake tube/filter will give you improved induction sound.
I have a ITB NA miata as well and it was a lot of work to figure out and setup. I'm glad I at least did a very mild head build to make all that work more worth while. Also there is character in modified engines. Turbos/Superchargers will never have the same character like a N/A build.
@@biggboysouth whatever you do with your naturally aspirated Miata many of current compacts will be at least as fast as your car with better comfort and reliability. So why bother?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For me this is the right way. If you want powerful car, blow it. If you want good bang/buck factor for little money, swap an 1.8. If you want to have unique feeling of tuned roadster from 60's or 70's with Japanese reliability, get a NA6CE, break your piggy bank, add ITBs, some cams, standalone ECU, full exhaust and other stuff. And enjoy!
This is the way I would like to go. And I don't care if I can have 150-300whp from different variants of 1.8. I want these trumpets!
PS. What I like most in this car is that this is not a typical 'yata': some worn junk 'refreshed' with flashy wrap, big sticker(s) on a windscreen, cheap coilovers and way too wide wheels.
1.8 swap + ITB’s is the way.
what vaccum box did you end up getting ?
He’s using a vibrant box.
Soooo... ITBs for the race car then?
Wouldn’t be opposed, the budget might be.
@@NappMotorsports Budget is a jerk. He is hampering my progress as well.
What is the Price for the parts for the ITBs
Best bet is to go over to Bofi’s site. I want to say it’s around $3-$4k to get the main pieces.
Horsepower?? Any gains??
ITB’s don’t really add a ton of HP. Mainly throttle response and sound. If anything there’s a little bit of power gained up top.
Came here to watch you guys roast NA builds hahaha
NA builds have their place! We sadly don’t have the roads here for it.
sounds like a 4ag
Not a bad thing!
Americans have a narrow view of performance. It is determined at a suburban stop light when the light turns green. As a result, Americans “sports cars” were its muscle cars. Go back 60 years as Britain was clawing its way out of bankruptcy after WWII. Some clever manufacturers of that era realized they could take their econo-coupes, add a little leather and a few extra hp, and the result would be the sports car. And people loved it. Not because it was fast or showy, but because it was fun to drive!
What confuses Americans about the MX-5 is that they mistake the latter for the former. The MX-5 was never intended to be a high-performance car, but it thoroughly meets its goal of bring a hoot to drive. And that is what puzzles me about owners like this one. He admits freely that his NA is one modification away from his dream sports car. The irony is that in search of ever-greater performance, he is diminishing his car’s ability to be that combination of great things that identifies a true sports car.
To my mind, the AC Cobra was a fantastic high-performance car. If that’s what you want, go buy one. But do not waste thousands building a Frankenstein out of a homely little Japanese roadster. In doing so, you are throwing out the baby with the bath water - which I acknowledge is a disgusting metaphor, but there it is.
It’s just that. He’s one modification away from it being *his* dream sports car. Everyone has different opinions on what they think the perfect version of everything is. The owner knows what he wants, and he’s working towards that. If we all thought the stock Miata was perfect, nobody would modify theirs.
And then British people started adding stuff like multiple carbs to these cheap sport cars. This car is something like all these tuned MGs or Triumphs. They are still not fast, but very fun to drive.
I think if there’s a car built for modifying, it’s the Miata. In terms of stop light racing, yes that is generally the benchmark for American performance driving, for better or worse.
I get why people do this, but the money spent on it is turbo money.
To each their own. It’s definitely a cool setup, and not one you see often.
Very true...and it is jdm af. Lol
100%
So why bother about Miata if you can buy for example Golf GTI or R or Civic TypeR and have pretty quick, yet very practical car? (come to Europe, we have even more of these here). Why do everybody has to go with turboed 1.8, to pursue more and more power? Is power everything?
@@accountdisabled286 ummm because rwd.
How TF do you spend that much on an engine build and make 122whp? That's what a bone stock NB1 makes. An equivalent 1.8 build should make at least 160whp, which means this is down 20whp even after taking the displacement into account.
If noise was the only goal, stick ITBs on the stock 1.6L and call it a day.
Not everyone has the same goals as you, and that’s ok homie.
Yeah cams are an extreme price mod for minimal gain, but so is everything else for a NA Miata
