    Petition for greg to put an adjustable gear on the exhaust cam of the VVT miata. The vvt people need to know if it's worth it

  • @biggboysouth
    @biggboysouth Před 3 lety +21

    This explains why you've been thinking about the VVT cam timing thing lol.

  • @masterian1
    @masterian1 Před 3 lety +5

    For anyone considering it. The Kai gears are the best bang for your buck. Quality parts, and actual features that no one else has.

    @12:02 was that the 10mm wrench hitting the ground?

    • @AnthonyTeasdale
      @AnthonyTeasdale Před 3 lety +3

      Exactly my thought too!

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  Před 3 lety +16

      Most likely a 10mm wrench hitting the event horizon of a black hole *spaghettification commences*

      Ground? Don’t be daft that’s now resting on an inaccessible ledge in the engine bay you can’t see or reach.

    This definitely lands under car passion. Thanks for explaining the principles of cam and ignition timing. Even if I'm not a Miata owner this is very valuable knowledge. Good work.

    despite my name, I don't even own a Miata anymore and still watch these videos every time....

    @StovallsGarage Před 3 lety +2

    I run the KA gears on my 450 ish whp escort GT, (mazda BP powerd for anyone confused). Those are actually mine on the site there. They are great gears especially if you're running the exhtake mod. But I think they are discontinued as they were a small batch run...

  • @Friendsofdonr
    @Friendsofdonr Před 3 lety +1

    This is perfect!!! I need to dial in my world challenge protege cams after the first start this weekend.

  • @SaacNelly
    @SaacNelly Před 3 lety +3

    Have you looked into the Miata with "Koenigsegg's freevalve" technology on it? Would be super interesting if more people tried improving it and made it viable to use on a daily or something.

    • @alexisknows6513
      @alexisknows6513 Před 3 lety

      It's wonderful technology, but the cost is not worth it for 8000 RPM maximum. Titanium valve springs would be way cheaper ....

    These will be great with ITBs!!

  • @96blackjacket
    @96blackjacket Před 3 lety +1

    If you get new cams with high lift and/or duration you can use these to make sure the valves will never hit each other

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  Před 3 lety

      On the flip side, if you're running big cams, you may not be able to freely adjust the cam gears without valve-to-piston contact. That needs to be checked before the engine is run!

  • @adammorton9311

    Wouldn’t is be easier to just use the adjustable timing wheel to advance timing as a whole? I have a 99/bp4w and bought the 5x racing wheel. Works for all engine 1999-2005 and is only $35.

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  Před 3 lety

      You're confusing adjusting the ignition timing with adjusting the cam timing, they are two completely different things.

  • @austinpetemo
    @austinpetemo Před 3 lety +1

    My cam gears showed up in my mailbox for my 1.6 today...... How did you know??? Also, I think I got the last of the KAI gears.

    Where can I learn more about the 36-2 set up not needing any addl sensors when used with MS. I'm looking to swap a 01 bottom end bp4w head into a 93 chassis. As mentioned at about 6:05 in the video.

    Hello. I need dime help.
    What does the cam sensor read un the gear?
    I want to convert My b6 carb engine to injection and i want to put the cam sensor( not a ckp ) sensor for signal to ecu

  • @federicoloffredi2467
    @federicoloffredi2467 Před 3 lety

    I used to undo the cam bolts and rotate the inner gear of one hole, avoiding the drilling step, I lost then the refernce marks but with a degree wheel I found them back.

    does anyone know if they make aftermarket cams for vvt miatas? i cant find any on google whatsoever. i would've liked to install 264 degree cams in my N/A vvt miata build but i cant find a single camshaft intake or exhaust

  • @Manuqtix.Manuqtix
    @Manuqtix.Manuqtix Před 2 lety

    Where is the DYNO video have you made it or is it still in process?
    I wish there was a book that explains cam adjustment in more detail, instead of trail and error on the dyno

    That 12:04 input lag between hitting the gas and the sound of bogging down for a second... what causes that? Can that be fixed? @TheCarPAssionChannel?

  • @njjx8800
    @njjx8800 Před 3 lety +1

    Any tips on buying used engines? I need a new one because my entire burns oil and has low oil pressure. 33-35 psi @3500rpm
    I see a few engines on Ebay for sale that look okay but they are advertised to be imported from Japan. I am looking for a 1.6L. The ads are weird since they say "1999-2000 1.6L" but thats sus cause miatas had 1.8L after 1998
    Another weird thing is the crankshaft pulley looks different than the US 1.6L engines. I am only bringing this up because I don't want another SNC engine.
    Is there anything I should be weary of and look for?

    • @fredpacer2474
      @fredpacer2474 Před 3 lety

      Other parts of the World had 1.6 litre engines. The newer 1.6 litres are different than the 90 -93 engines. Just swap in a 94 to 97 1.8 L engine.

    What was the reason the miata changed around the location of the cam sensor? and why was it not inside the distributor?

    @370zTEK Před 3 lety

    I know this is off topic but I found out today that the Supertech Pistons I put in my car actually needed an upgraded wrist pin, Tool Steel vs Chromoly. Did you do this upgrade on your car? If not, are you concerned about the pin breaking?

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  Před 3 lety

      I'm not aware of which wrist pins I have, but I didn't select any upgrade at the time or purchase. But no, I'm not concerned about breaking a wrist pin.

  • @ItsAName_
    @ItsAName_ Před 3 lety

    Why can't you do vvt on both cams? The parts just don't exist? Or is there something that actually makes it not possible

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  Před 3 lety +1

      The head, the cam, and oil system are completely different on the intake side of the NB2 engines. You COULD do it but the amount of engineering, precision machining, and labor involved would not be worth the minimal gains.

    Can you add VVT to a non VVT 1.8 and if so what does it take?

    • @foamdataservices
      @foamdataservices Před 3 lety

      No, but you can put a VVT engine n a non VVT car, but you need a standalone ECU. A bigger set of cams is about the same price as doing all that, and will make more HP than just VVT. The late VVT engines have some useful improvements in main cap design and a few other areas, as well as a higher flowing inlet manifold, VVT swaps into non VVT is a good mod overall, as you have the best block for boost later.

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  Před 3 lety +1

      You can, via changing the head and adding an ECU that can control VVT.
