I've thoroughly enjoyed this nitrous experience on the Beat! What do you guys think? Also, remember to check the FlexiSpot sale now and use my code GINGIUM for an extra $30 off on their E7 standing desk series bit.ly/GINGIUM30
Very sick. I know it might be cheese, but think about putting a small LED pointing up right by the purge. At night, it looks awesome!!! Anyway, I love your channel.
If anything you should VFR swap it. Honda 4cyl motorcycle engine. V4 (yes V4 not inline 4), VTEC, and 800cc. They sound absolutely insane. The engine gen I’m talking about is the 6th gen vfr (2002-2008 Honda VFR800)
@@marcosamadop_1 CBR1000RRs are cool too, but V4 is more unique and I know most people usually use those or the busa motors. All really depends on how much power he wants and sound type
@@jetink600 there’s kits that convert the transmission to CV axle, or the other way is solid axle and still chain driven with the sprocket welded on. For reverse it’s a lot harder, but the first thing that comes to mind is using electric motors to turn the wheels
@Noahh_jp yeah forward gears seem pretty straightforward (see what i did there lol). I was mainly thinking about reverse since it's a street car so it 100% has to have it. I know tricky is subjective depending on your skills and budget. It would definitely be interesting to see how he would tackle that especially in such a small car.
The channel "real mechanic stuff" recently had Bob Hall, "the father of the miata" on their channel, and they had him react to your rally miata (pre wrx swap) and other miata builds, not sure if you saw it.
I absolutely love how you do so much of your own assembly, dissassembly, welding, etc. Truly inspirational. Dont ever stop learning and showing us new things. This Beat is sick!
16:32 John's reaction is exactly how I felt when I test drove an ND Miata, going the speed limit but it felt like I was flying, most fun 5 minutes I've had behind the wheel
I think when/if the beat blows it should get a honda gold wing flat 6 with a turbo. Not to sure if it would fit but it would turn some heads when driving around.
You should put a genuine 600cc engine in it from a honda cbr600 either the f4 for better midrange but carbs or a more modern for fuel injection, double the power 6k more rpm , would be great fun
In reference to his buddy commenting about getting more views if he captioned it saying turning the Honda into a Ferrari. We love you Ging BECAUSE you're not a sellout
Maaan that thing sounds sooo fantastic. I’m sure its all due to he header and exhaust but its sooo good. be fun to try and see how it compares to a stock power Miata or something. Kei cars are just so neat
Hell ya, gingium came up with the Dyno! Position the screen in front of the carso you don't need to rubberneck every time you make a pull. Now do a Datsun 510!
This series was dope! If you can get this thing to a track soon I'd love to see a video on that. For now I'm hype to see the drift truck again, please do the cool fender thing you were talking about! That sounded cool as fuck
When listening for knock, you have to listen for a pinging sound. Almost like the sound you hear when you're flicking a hollow metal tube. And that AFR is WAYYY rich. 14.7 is ideal. The lower the number the richer it is. The higher the number the leaner it is. Since it's an oxygen sensor, it's seeing how much oxygen there is in the exhaust. Smaller number=less oxygen and more fuel. Bigger number=more oxygen and less fuel. But anywhere from like 13-14 would be a sweet spot to be in and still be safe to drive
Perhaps you should put a supercharger on it and forge pistons with a custom map. This tiny bike engine is quite robust it should give you more than 100bhp. It would be an interesting project.
Nitrous is Fun!! It may be easier to use with the button on the shifter. Although, my kit had a micro- switch setup for full throttle on the TB. Shifting, steering, throttle and a button will keep you busy. IMO, micro-switch on the throttle body.
You do not need to be at 11.5 AFR with a nitrous jet the size of a thumb tack. Run it at 12.5, run a colder plug, and remove that stupid exhaust duct so you can see detonation puffs if it does them. Without having any clue what you’re listening out for on a headset, you might as well be listening to EDM. Such a cool little car! Good work on it! Looks and sounds sick.
My tuner told me spark knock sounds like pop rocks, you young bucks should try em (it's candy that makes popping crackling noises in your mouth).. hope this helps
Olá Gim! Eu sou brasileiro e hoje no nosso mercado há uma injeção programável chamada fuelltech, com a tela e alguns sensores você consegue controlar o carro todo basicamente. E é vendida aí no EUA. De uma pesquisado sobre. É um produto que se tornou o carro chefe nas arrancadas e até em jet-ski e off-road.
It wouldn't be that much faster, but a honda CBX 1000, the straight 6 bike engine would be amazing, that thing sounds insane. And you could keep it honda
