MAZDA MX-5 LS2 V8 Swap || 450Hp GYMKHANA Monster ONBOARD
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
** OWNER`S COMMENT NOW PINNED **
This is the fantastic looking Mazda MX-5 NB of Mantas Sliogeris, powered by a proper American V8, a 450Hp LS2 unit, making this still Street Legal but quite bonkers 1150Kg Miata a true Monster. Built for Gymkhana events originally, but used for Drift and Sprint stuff, it made its debut on our Quick60 Challenge event in spectauclar fashion, reaching a Top 15 place staight away. And hopefully we´ll see this Monster come back this year for even more sideways action...

I think I should provide more information about the car. This is not a "race car" in the literal sense of the word. It's a normal road car. I drove it to the event and back home afterwards. It's parked on a driveway waiting for the next adventure. No matter what it is: a road trip, a trackday, a gymkhana, drifting, nurburgring, you name it. It has no specific purpose, apart from providing a joy of driving. It wasn't optimised to be outright the fastest car out there, it was optimised to be a great fun whatever it does. And yes, I like the oversteer quite a bit :)

That’s what makes it even more enjoyable to watch. The sight, the sound, the oversteer. It’s perfect.
Wow, that engine bay is immaculate!

Now think about this a 6.0 Ls V8 buttttt cut in half so its only a 3.0L V4 ½LS & THEN sequentially turbo'd to say 600hp (easily achievable ) ppl Turbocharging a 4.8Ls can get 800 on a bone stock internals. An 1200hp on a 6.0L Ls , an Texas Speed engine builder's get 1500 -1700 outa a 7.0 . Back to the V4 IT would weigh at least 100lbs less an be way better for Mx5 50/50 weight.

@@DaVe-iSnOtHoMe.MaN.LemmingsWeBSure a V4 can easily reach 600hp, but it would be far less reliable.
I love the idea of shoehorning an LS into an MX-5. That looks like a lot of fun to drive!
When a car guy builds a car exactly how they like it. Pure awesome on wheels.
Doesn't even look like a miata, that kit made it look so good.

ULTRA clean
I'm amazed how little it understeers... thats like the perfect setup if you get it right (which apparently they did) gorgeous engine bay too! Love it.
My man Mantas killing it. This guy singlehandly destroyed a drifting champion (Daigo Saito) and Ken Block (among others) in the same event.
Man he’s done an incredible job with that engine swap! So clean under the bonnet and I love the subtle bodywork changes 👌🏻🙂
What an absolute beast. Everything about that car is perfect, the look the sound the handling (yes even the oversteer) Awesome just awesome
Oh man I haven't seen Mantas' Miata in a while, he's got an LS now? And gotta give credit where it's due, that engine bay work is CLEAN. Love that guy
I remember that time he won a gymkhana in this thing, when it had 200hp in a supercharged 1.8l
Daaaaayummmm that's a clean build...at just over 2500lbs with 450HP you've effectively made a Japanese version of the TVR Griffith 500 equivalent. 🤜🏿🤛🏿💯🎯

That engine bay is perfect. Not expecting that clean and neat.
Dayum this is wild for sure !
So clean. Love watching it get loose in the corners
I’m building an LS swap miata. Been in the dumps about it lately. I needed this video.
One of the coolest cars ive seen, perfection 💪💪💪
Miata guy for life. This one has a particular style to it. depending on the angle I see hints of mini supra, I see hints of a flattened Porsche and of course as always rx-7 jr.
🔥❤🔥 Beautiful "little" red monster!!!!!😉👍👌 Thanks a lot!!! 🙏😌
Insane lap and wicked swap!
Very slick car .job well done and sound lovely 👍
really love the cinematic panning
Finally, a Mazda I would own (besides a 3rd Gen RX-7). Love the powerslides!!!
That body kit, and project is sick
Such a cool car. Looks amazing as well
love the stock dash so cool to see
WOW Badass Miata! This thing is a amazing looking monster! I think it's the first time when i see a Miata that actually looks hardcore. The little sweet thing hit the gym, HARD!
Now that was rad
Supra in the front viper from the rear and corvette on the middle. Whay a beautiful engine bay
Nice build man had a NA Miata you got the NB with the 1.8 l. I prefer jdm motors over muscle but I gotta say it's great man especially for what your using this thing for.
Damn, that thing looks like a lot of fun!!! 👍
One of the slickest miatas I've ever seen.
This looks like its really fun to drive
This car is an all rounder in the truest sense of the word
This build is AMAZING!!!
I hate LS swaps, but this is still one of the sickest Miatas I’ve ever seen! Definitely the best aero on a Miata for sure
That's how a car should be done. Clean and fast.
Sensational 🤠👌🏼
this guy knows how to build a car. this thing looks incredible.
That is a PERFECT example. Would love to have an hour behind the wheel!
That's a sweet machine 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve respected miatas for a long time, but I suddenly want one. Hot damn
So clean
Love the widened body!
Awesomeness
Any understeer is fixed by throttle, just perfect ❤

The car is not properly sorted, it shouldn't be understeering at all, it has some suspension issues for sure. Miatas that are set up right don't have mid corner antics like that.
I told you it would fit!
THIS is the only Miata I would ever like to own 😊
So good❤
Something like an AC Cobra 🎉
It’s a baby Viper! 🥹
Tyres fighting for their lives hahaha. Love it.
I love these LS swaps...the more the merrier - LS swap the world!!!!!!... 💪🏼
Well that thing looks rowdy!
one of the cleanest engine bays ive seen
Perfect car 😍
Looks extremely stable and well balanced considering how much weight is in the front.
That is a vicious build!
You sold me with the engine bay. Is that a commercially available body kit? Just superb
I enjoyed my conversion in the early 2003-2009 period. Ls6 383 448 whp/442rwtq 2400lbs
Minivettes are amazing
Nice job
Yay!! a car that doesn't sound like a blender
2535 lbs with 450 HP Thats 5.6 lbs per HP that is Insane
cleaaannn 👌
Immaculate
What a mad little car. Like a European viper.
beautiful car
Nice engine for a MX5
So sick
By far the coolest rx-5 I’ve ever seen… Beautiful work looks like Completely different vehicle,

It is like a modern Shelby Cobra (If it was a Ford V8 it would be more accurate but LS2 is amazing too).
Man I bet that 363 feels like a 572 in that miata
That is basically a modern day recipe Shelby Cobra. Obviously different brands but same principles.
