How Much Power Does My MX-5 V6 Engine Make On The Dyno? 

its a ford v6, but k

Turbo charge it? He needs to supercharge that shit.

Marcus Ryser dont worry. The Problem was the Engine not the Turbo.

If it was mine, I would have spent the money on a LS motor that puts out more then double the hp of the V6.

kevin122759 well some people have a larger penis than you and don't feel the need to compensate quite as much

The mech a nic when did he announce that?

Aaron Eaton Today, on his Instagram.

Excuse me he does what again?

tatzecom I think the correct phrase is "He does what in his cup?"

I dont think thats the correct phrase. I mean, I just dont reconize it, where is it from?

yasssssssssssssssssssssssssss

But what about a turbo V6

Laith Abusailik How about high revving NA ;)

Yo White Boi Gregg why not have a 400 hp Miata it'd be pretty cool

Yo White Boi Gregg it is a high revving n/a this v6

Exactly, im wondering if this kit is more expensive than the ls1 sawp kits

OMFGSTFUWTFBOLILLO I’m pretty sure it’s just not all about the power. It’s as they said in the video aswell, the sound, the feeling, the light and small details of it, and it pretty original engine swap, or I’ve never seen something like this atleast

Actually, it is - note the bore is under 2" and has serious non mandrel bends in it - as the tuner (Matt from the video) I can assure you we see 250-260 on the rolling when using a proper exhaust system with the AJ30 and these plenums...

Probably much cheaper in the UK

Ye they said it revs at 8000-8500 rpm too but in the video it seemed to be peaking at around 6800 🤔

Literally the only saving grace in your statement is the weight of the car, which says everything about this "engine swap". 230 hp out of a DOHC V6 is weaksause every time, but I guess if you put it in a gokart it would be gods gift to motorsports...

On our pot-holed, traffic jammed, bicycle infested roads in the UK, 230bhp is more then adequate in a car this light. CC said it "add lightness".

@@BigMac2222 230hp is absolutely weak as hell, esp for a v6. A Nissan Quest from 2004 made 10 more horsepower, and a modern day town and country would gap the shit out of this Miata on the highway

@@fry.master the thing I don't get is this engine in the S type with catalytic converters etc makes 240bhp standard. Ok so maybe their dyno exhaust robs 20bhp. That's still really not that special. I'm doing this engine swap on an 80's TVR and was considering their manifolds due to space constraints, but these results make me think they aren't well optimised at all.

With proper care and maintenance without too many high power pulls, maybe. If he could fit a Mercades OM606 in there then that would easily double... however, they're not small blocks, so the chances of getting one into Phil are simlar to putting a house into a space the size of a single electron.

ThEcRaZ3dGaM3R Or any Toyota V6 for that matter

DoubleC the Camry engine V6 the supra engine i6

DoubleC i6 2jzgte is amazing

Lol you guys realize he's just referencing miles right? Not actually asking -.-

JAREK SOBASZEK Yes, it is. I saw it too.

Yes you did. And so did I.

yeah i saw too

exactly what i saw

it is his daily now

Yeah, it should be his daily driver tbh. Reliable, looking clean and fresh, drives comfortably etc.

Sibtain it is his daily driver

Lilleskutt2014 indeed

That tuscan❤❤❤❤

David Peters thanks. It’s my baby :)

Philip Fox 2.0 How many times has Phil died and gone into hibernation already?

14 Months is exact time

He died 2 times, First when he died in Green Hell, Second when he respawned Last year but never seen again

It’s been a long journey...

tubejorrit and?

VideosOfC and what?

@@Alvaro-em1dj I think he means, did he get it.

it weighs more...again proof that guy's a moron

Cassette Walkman I'm pretty sure that the stock 1.8 is lighter. There is no way a V6 can be lighter then the stock little engine

It weights about 5kg less. I have weighed them myself.

Cassette Walkman lel cast iron block vs aluminumumum ahahhaa

Bimmerskids I'm sorry, what? Do you really believe that 1.6 or 1.8 engine made from casted iron is lighter than 3.0 V6 from aluminium? Especially when V6 has those aftermarket lightweight parts.

i saw that too..

No sadly

LongTimeAgo *perfected for the British by the Americans.

ccubsfan94 ah so thats why its so bad

LongTimeAgo how is it Italian?

Micah Figueroa idk, I think it was in the video but I think he says it's as a Italian v6

he said it was designed by porshe

il fordino too heavy

Which sounds better?

busso of course, but what they said is more important than sound

Having had a v6 3.2, I can categorically say, it felt gutless. My T5 would slaughter it.

He is working with rocketeer who make a kit for this engine to fit in a Miata. Also he is putting this specific engine in it because he likes it.

Fat Splat Jimmer's MX-5 makes 250HP and doesn't die the moment it gets revved. Would love to see it happen.

Both tuned by us :) (Matt)

it would be an amazing battle! come on alex, sort it out!

Jimmy winning for sure man haha

This is the same engine

Ali Haider Clarkson would approve!

Duratec Ford v6s (essentially this engine but from ford) are good aswell, more Duratecs about than busso's aswell.

But the Busso is a transverse engine, not a longitudinal one. I guess it would be more difficult to align the mounting points.

Cooper Pinter Alfa 75 and GTV6 had longitudinal engines. But I hear what you are saying.

The duratec was used in transverse applications as well

Regular Placemat Reveal sad to say but yea... nissan all the way..

A nice vq35 🤔🤔

Nah, v6s are shit designed by beancounters for FWD. He should have got a japanese inline 6. RB series would be perfect.

2GRFSE from an IS350. 300hp stock. Do it.

Was hoping for a KL-ZE from the MX6, so that it's still a Mazda engine in a Mazda chassis.

Literally my feelings on this engine as well. For a DOHC this was pathetic, A toyota 3.5 bone ass stock will put out 300, add all the carbon fiber and custom ECM tune with a few other minor bolt-ons could see 350 every day of the week. Why in the world would anyone choose this V6 for a swap... Even KIA V6 puts out more stock....

Probably a bit harder to find an LS in England.

On 3:50 you can see an inline 5 block, but I think it's from an Audi.. :)

Nah b230ft all day long

Bruh nuh.

yeah, doesnt look too familiar so it might be audi

Always wanted an i5, NA, T or S in a Lotus Elise or Exige.

Jesse Kaden the physical size would be bigger, you'd need a more powerful clutch transmission and maybe a better diff too. The engine wouldn't fit without choping up the engine bay. And the weight. It would be heavy and ruin it's weight balence. That doesn't matter too much but then you got. Price.

Jamil ahmed woooooooooosh

Ayy Angel we have done this to death. It’s 5 kg less. Not including the intake manifold and a bunch of other heavy stuff.

WHO

back, back. Back Again gain, gain

Troy Bavelaar shady's back, tell a friend

Boy u is everywhere

you need to wait a week

Ardian Begaj whoosh

KV6 is not an upgrade from a turbo'd MX5 when it comes to reliability... KV6 are rubbish engines

@@matthijskoster2669 yep the timing belt arrangement on them is absolute shite.

Car Freaks Gr nope.

Turbos remove from the driver experience in cases like this, reduced engine response, muted sound, and wider powerband. If you have a choice to have a turbo car or na car with the same or similar hp, NA is always the better option

Phil Gudet but na don't go choo choo

But turbo don't go BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at the intake.

Hey uhhh no. That’s taking it out of the realm of a fun car and making it dangerous. Also wayyyy more unreliable.

Trash Boat yes he did

nah man you'll need a couple turbos for that

even if you put 2 turbos, you'll only be able to play on minimum graphics :(

I can barely do minimum on crisis while running my engine

SLI 1080ti turbos

@@FLmanActual SLI 2080 TI probably cant run it on 360p minimum settings

I'm going this route on my NB. The LFX is a really interesting engine.

Josh Lewis nobody gives a shit. This is an old v6 ,why are you comparing it to a modern v6?

but will it fit?

@HondaFknCivic It'll be a tight fit and take a little cutting and welding, but it'll fit.

Josh Lewis Great idea, there are lot's of parts for Camaro V6 laying around in Europe, right?

The V6 from a Camaro will hardly fit without welding, all of that welding for 306 horsepower? Plus the Miata weighs under a thousand kilos... I think 236 HP will do.

it makes 335hp and a v8 LS engines fits and im pretty sure a 3.6L isn't any bigger then the stupid jag engine. 6000pounds is ridiculous for such a small gain, i can get a brand new turn key 6.5L/ 560hp Dart racing block, forged internals, AFR heads, and it comes with a 30k miles/1 year warranty for that much money www.ebay.com/itm/CHEVY-TURN-KEY-SBC-400-406-STAGE-3-0-DART-BLOCK-CRATE-MOTOR-530-hp/351630167581?hash=item51deca8e1d:g:hSUAAOSwr~lYqxbr

A comment previously posted stated that on the website the kit includes: The engine itself, the tuned things, a gearbox, possibly the choice of a few intakes, and the mounts for the engine. Unfortunately the "jag engine" isn't actually an engine made by Jaguar. It's an engine made by Ford. Second of all, why would someone want 560 HP in a Mazda Miata, 230 sounds enough.

My point was the price is crazy considering i can get a brand new warranted high end racing engine with all the best parts for the same price. I would have used a Buick 3.8L it makes 205hp but if you add aluminum heads/headers it will make 260hp or 300hp @ 7,800rpm with a cam, with aluminum heads it only weighs 335lbs and is tiny because its not DOHC and a new long block is only like $1,000 all the upgrades would put it at $3,000 +$1000 for a Tremec Borg Warner T5 and a few brackets and mounts can be fabbed up for a few hundred. SO for $4,200 you''d get more power, proven racing track record with 3.8L's known for pushing 600hp since the 1980's and one of the most reliable engines ever made

I agree all this effort for 236 CRANK HP is insane should have gone to all the companies putting v8's in them then he'd have an NA ls in there that will be more reliable and make double the power I just don't get it

Stefan Winter you want a knocking 1.6?

The engine is blown and needs a rebuild which means you have to rebalance the entire rotating assembly. Not cost effective as it’ll cost more than getting a new engine.

Liam Casey Y not? I've got nothing to do and the equipment for it!

_Milo No Problem. I need a new project anyways.

Stefan Winter crank balancing can cost upwards of $2500. For my truck it cost me $12,295 because it’s an old international diesel.

mrnicktoyou my friends truck engine is basically the same one use in the 2006 ford gt.. not a v6 but still

Tell me one sports car that this engine was used in in N/A form

mrnicktoyou define exotic.

it is iconic with rocketeer kit

@@Orcawhale1 This came in Ford Contour/Mondeos, Escapes and Tauruses... The Duratec v6 is far from exotic.

Oh, yeah? He should have gone with a engine out of a car, which was never sold in the UK?

not that hard to ship a motor. A lot of engines I buy for builds I do are straight from Japan.

Alec Frazier: No it's not hard to ship a motor, just extremely expensive in a country, which has just left the EU..

We haven't left the EU yet and importing an engine from outside the EU won't matter whether we are in or not.

Do you know the definition of 'ricer'? Ricers don't run Jaguar V6s, ricers don't have 230 HP. Also the Miata weighs basically nothing so 230 HP sounds fine to me. I would recommend for you to stop thinking every car is a horsepower number.

Theyre cosmetic modifications.

They're not, they can support the air inflow for a larger and more complex intake in the future. If you don't understand that then get a 90 HP Nissan Micra or a bicycle.

The engine needs camshafts. A 4 door luxury car is primarily built to be smooth, camshafts change the characteristics of the engine more so than any other component except perhaps the ECU. Like I said, cylinder head work and camshafts will give you way more bang for your buck than intake manifold and headers. They literally called it the "Engine Dress Kit" in the video, it costs 6000 british pounds. Thats 2 or 3 times the cost of what I'm advocating.

Now I'm pretty sure you're talking out of your arse. As I said, the Mazda Miata MX-5 has around 130 HP from stock, is RWD and weighs practically nothing. I think 230 HP is enough.

John Ulicky I wouldn't trust 100 lol, more like 50 or 75

You guys miss the point.

just no
