K-Swapping a NC Mazda Miata in 48HRS!

I'm just happy you guys didn't lose your shop.

what's that spoiler? fits in nc1 prht? thanks

Op is a stay tuned watcher 😂😂😂 "we're going to loose the shop" 😂😂😂😂

I wonder how much it would cost to swap a fiat 124 spyder?

I was to perform a Mazda 2.5L swap.... this video is changing my mind !

So inspiring!

Can you build the engine and add a turbo after you install this kit?

Beautiful build right there - Kpowered miata must be such a fun drive!
Looks like such a pleasure doing this swap with the Kpowered kit they've thought of everything it's like building a lego kit with the guide. I would love to do this with these guys' kit.
Shoutout to SA as well for continually bringing excellent content and always trying to think of new ways to change it up and explore new formats for thier videos. Love you guys and wish you had the recognition you deserve - should be a 1+m subscriber channel for sure!

Don't drive like morons on public streets. Take it to the track or a back lot with no one around.

In 1993 we bought a year old Accord. Great car. Drove it 150,000 trouble free miles. In 1998 I bought a 95 Miata. Said many times "that accord engine would be amazing in a Miata". (and that was with a LOT less HP than the more modern versions). Back then the FWD to RWD was a stopper.
What's changed with that to let you use either?

Enjoyed watching this process. As far as I understand, and I’m no engineer, I think that Helmholtz resonator tube before the muffler is supposed to be as close to the headers as possible, otherwise the resonant frequency still exists in the exhaust pipe all the way up to the point it meets the resonator. So it’s potentially doing very little. You can package it further up using a wide chamber connected to the exhaust pipe with a narrower pipe. Maybe no other packaging is possible but it does sound like it could be annoying as an OEM+ option. For track I guess it’s whatever.

Looks like a s2000 almost.

Can you do this same swap on the RX8?

K swap everything

KPower, please do a swap for Porsche 986s!

Anyone know what wheels it has? I’m in love

So $5K-$12K for an NC Miata, at least $10K for the swap kit and then another $5K-$10K for the K series motor itself. That's $20K-$32K to do this and you still haven't touched the suspension, any interior mods, wheels, tires, or other odds and ends. Cool project and end result, but no thanks.

That Miata has nuts now. Sheesh

Such a beautiful build! This is the sort of engine the NC deserved from the start. OEM engine is so lethargic and the car feels bloated compared to the NA/NB generations. The added power and torque would make this an absolute blast to drive!
Just curious, being the car was completely gone through and rebuilt, was the chassis stitch welded or any added bracing installed? I also noticed how hard the shifter turret flexed on wot pulls. Will you guys be adding any stiffer bushings in the rear to hopefully tighten it up?

my nc3 needs that engine !!! is it smog legal in CA?

should have use 2.5 ford with headers

I wonder where that rear splitter is from? 25th anniversary? Benn looking for something similar for ages!

lol @ we’re going to lose the shop. How much was the total on parts?

What a beautiful job

Where do you get fresh engine bolts. In the words or Garth brooks, I like that!

Protect your eyes fellas.

When clearancing the gearbox housing ideally you should not make 90 degree cuts since it introduced a stress point. I would have drilled a hole with a larger drillbit first that I then would have cut to that way you can get a rounded transition. Also fro my armchair view the upper wishbone mounts on the new subframe are not gusseted at all and seems to be from pretty thin material. I would have gusseted them 😂

I own a 2009 NC GT….was curious what would this cost, all that was done here?

I truly appreciate that you didn't name the video 'K-Swapping a NC Mazda Miata in 33MINS!'

Did you also change out the end links with that sway bar?
