      That's true, "underpowered" cars are cool to drive beacause you have to push youself to the best, I kind of learned to race in an old VW with more or less 100 hp, you had to switch gears so fast and preciley if you wanted to reach some speed, It was all the time switching gears. A more powerful car just make it unnecessary, there is most of the time enough power.

    • @JupiterxBlues
      @JupiterxBlues Рік тому +2

      Personally, I like the sound of naturally aspirated BP engines over the aluminum block engines from hondas. Its the iron block and iron exhaust header that helps give it a deeper tone rather than the sharp high-pitched metallic sound that aluminum blocks and aluminum exhausts produce. Aluminum is better ofcourse, but the sound just doesn't hit right for me. High-pitched tones give me headaches. But that's a personal preference.

Now i come back to watch this video every now and then. For power gains, all motor builds aren't as effecient as turbo builds for these cars.

    Just hearing that sound raises my heart rate, I know what its like to full send a road like that, but seeing it done so confidently, like I can just tell almost how the car is set up through the screen, in the rear the antirollbar is really quite stiff, but the camber upfront helps the car to bite into corners really well. And the whole car is just soooo dang planted.

      I'm building a PPort 13b for my 91 NA Miata as we speak ;) 10k on side ports may be a stretch. Perhaps a big bridgeport would still make power up there. I'll probably keep RPM around 9500 max for the build.

      Back in the day when the 99 came out (and there was none of the NA / NB BS) no one thought the NA was better. Up until recently most people wanted a NB over an NA. The ONLY reason I ever liked the NA better was because of the door cards. 92, 94R, 97STO, 99.

    Love this car, for real! But swap an K serie engine on a Miata? Not my cup of tea...
    I actually like BP engine and would be super interesting to see a all forged bottom end. Also, Mazda heart on Mazda body.

    • @TheSlipAngle
      @TheSlipAngle  5 років тому +4

      The problem is that by going with a forged bottom end I would only gain about 400 RPM, the difference between 8k and 8400 RPM is just not enough for me to go through with that much work. Look at the crank girdle on the K-Series vs the mains on the BP. There is just not enough support for high RPM. Honda cylinder heads flow better than just about everything else, which is the ticket for all motor builds. I'd also gain low end back being able to use VTEC, right now I am basically VTEC all the time which hurts the low end power lol. Plus they are lighter :)
