That is nearly 20% more powerful.

Is that a Miata engine?

**the issue with people who do not know how to tune a N/A motor

To be fair, he only had to bore out half the number of cylinders compared to a V8 ...

Doesn't look like my engine bay. But then again maybe that's how modding the 1.6 goes.

Stickers themselves were worth a good 5 a piece.

In return you get dat noise! Plus these guys got 230hp out of a 1.6! It isn't all bad. Or you could just go and get 300hp stock

Haha, so true. However, you still have more cams and valves to deal with.

It was the clear corners that really helped the HP

Gotta rev it out. Take that shit to 5-digit rpms.

He might have taken the compression ratio too high for the fuel he is using. Then the ECU might have to adjust the timing so late that engine isn't performing very well.

"Noise" is an appropriate word. Ick!

Even the most anemic B series in the Miata made 89.

I see you are not a fan of high revving NA 4 bangers.

Another great point. What is this supposed to be? A 4AGE?

I like a few. Most sound awful, though, and I don't find the ones in the first two videos to be all that pleasing.

It's in an NA Miata, so a B6ZE (correct? I'm not up on my Miata knowledge).

You missed the best part of this scene, which is where the dubbed version references this as a V6.

The second one is a V8. . .

I never said all V8s sounded good, did I?

All V8s sound like the Gods have come down for war!

I considered doing the same for my old mk2 Golf, which then was over two decades and had almost 300k km on it. As the head gasket started to leak somewhat the head needed to come off anyway, so I got a hotter camshaft from a Polo GT. I never got around to it, as I parked the car in a shed and bought a Peugeot. It's still there, and I still have that hotter cam somewhere as well.

Anyway, with my upgrade the hp would've gone from 54 to 65-70, a 20-30% increase. The Polo GT had the same block/displacement, just this different cam shaft and higher compression resulting in a whopping 75 ponies.
