My dream swap for my miata is still a K20. Keeps the feel of a miata while making tons more naturally aspirated HP. Bulletproof Honda engine capable of much more with built parts or turbo. Most importantly, still keeps that 50/50 weight unlike the LS. I can't argue with the sound of an LS, though. The kid in me wants the LS, but the adult in me knows the K20 is the better fit.

To be fair I'm not sure if that's even their best dyno run or their "final" tune, it's just what I was able to source from their channel. Their setup may be more optimized by now but it's certainly a good demonstration of why turbo selection for your application is so important. Makes a great drag car but probably not so hot for street use haha
@imnota11 ай бұрын
@@TheCarPassionChannel Yeah it's very possible that flattening up top is it spinning on the dyno. But still it seems like it has too big of a turbo, and possibly not hot enough cams if that flat on the top of the rev range is real.

I don't think so man, there's only so much power you can shove into a Miata before it's not really a street car anymore, I really think 400-500 is the limit, and even at 500 it's tough making any use of it at reasonable speeds. I do think a mean n/a LS Miata would be sick though.
@TheIrizarr11 ай бұрын
@TheCarPassionChannel Hey Greg, would you mind explaining this a little more? Maybe in a video? We see some crazy street cars these days, like 2600hp vipers and such. What kind of limits does the miata have above 500hp? I've been thinking someday I'd like to rocketeer swap and eventually turbo, which has the potential for a lot of horsepower, and your response would help me figure some things out and maybe plan a little better. Appreciate you as always!
@TheCarPassionChannel11 ай бұрын
@@TheIrizarr A couple things to keep in mind - a 2600hp Viper is still making less than 4x the factory power, a 500hp Miata is making about 5x the factory power. Also, those cars can fit a ridiculously big tire under the fender. And anytime they're actually using 2600hp, they're likely on a race tire, on a racetrack. Or a race tire on the street, haha. When my car is on the drag radials like in this video, it can put down 500hp in 2nd gear, which means it could probably put down 600 in 3rd and 700 in 4th? Even more if I went to a bigger tire. But I'm talking about practical street use, like when I run on the AR1, a (sticky) street legal tire. It struggles to put down over 450 in 3rd, so if my car was 600+ but I could never use it, I don't really consider that "practical". And I'd need a bigger turbo, which means any time I'm not making 600hp, I'm dealing with lag that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Idk if all that makes sense, but when I say "street car" I'm basically talking about that balance between usable power, traction, etc. Of course I *could* street drive my car if it was 700whp, but not without dealing with the aforementioned compromises
@TheIrizarr11 ай бұрын
@@TheCarPassionChannel 🤔so you're saying that on the street Miatas are primarily limited by the wheel and tire setup (size/compound/tread/legality). I definitely get you on lag and the downsides of going to a bigger turbo, was more so thinking of the theoretical limit and where that would be for a Miata on the street if you had unlimited options/budget which would allow for swaps rather than just turbo upgrades. I think I got my answer.
@TheIrizarr11 ай бұрын
A few other questions this conversation prompted: What engine setup that fits in the stock NA Miata engine bay provides the most area under the curve/usable power? Assuming legality wasn't an issue or you were tracking the car, what would be the most performant wheel/tire setup to use in a Miata with the above engine setup? The answers would lie somewhere in the Miata track scene, if anywhere, but I don't know if anyone definitively knows and it would be interesting to find out.
