I've counted you saying the word "valve" 101 times. Take it with a grain of salt tho, there's been about a dozen times where I either blacked out and wondered if you said the word or wondering what number I was at.

Force = Mass x Accelaration = Miata is always the answer

Definitely didn’t check halfway through to see if I accidentally clicked on an engineering explained video 😂😂 awesome video Greg!!

That cut through video of the valve train at 13:33. It's amazing anything survives longer than a lap!

This is prefect timing! I just finished cleaning my NB2’s engine bay! This is a well deserved break lol. Thanks Greg.

As an engineering student I love your palatable example of cons of energy and Newton’s second law and how they apply to our hobby. Can’t wait to see the results of the rebuild!

Love what you do here Greg, keep it up!! (From a friendly viewer in the UK!)

Damn, this video contains so much information. I'm impressed how much research you have done. I finally know why reving higher need so much effort. Also, editing is always a blast in your videos, the mustang clip made me laugh loud!

Greg has taught me so much about the internals of an engine. Thanks for showing me how things work. 🙏

I've always felt like I have lacked knowledge when it comes to the logistics of heads. This broke it down so easy and it all made sense. Thank you.

Bruh!!!! Love the math vids. I cant wait to see it all back together.

Don't even have a miata any more but still subbed to support the quality educational content you produce. Keep it up my dude

Thanks dad! Been looking forward to this one!!

Good info here. Used to work in a machine shop a long time ago and this kinda takes me back.

Thank you so much for explaining everything. I learned alot from your videos. You made it eyto understand ❤

I checked your channel early today with no new uploads and now this... yessssss it’s 2am but really it’s car passion time boiiii

Absolutely invaluable stuff you are doing for us Miata NB nuts. Mines currently in the shop, swapping a 1.6 for a 1.8, reconditioned and reflowed and then supercharged. I am a sparky, so mechanically I have zero idea whats happening therefore I cannot express enough how much im learning about engines here.

I'm so happy you dropped this video. This is like the missing puzzle from KZread and now I might actually solve my head issues.

Love these videos, don’t have a miata, but I take so many of these videos and use them to understand my L28E in my 83 280zx!

You are an absolute beast with those explanations!! thank you for that! This video thru me back to university I had to watch it twice to get it :D It would be awesome if you will share what seat pressure is needed for what level of boost, and if there is any way of figureing out what is my current valves seat pressure without measuring each valve assembly

Greg have you ever thought about pursuing a career in aviation maintenance? You have a great base knowledge of proper practices and an eye for accuracy. It could be a fulfilling, great paying avenue for your skill set.

Just bought a clapped out 92 and I'm building a street monster out of her. Your channel has helped me out so much already and I know it's going to help so much more

3 days ago my NA had its 30th birthday, and it has stayed stock apart from a few cosmetic items (wood steering wheel, gear knob, handbrake handle, new wheels, new tan top, KG instrument cluster). Totally reliable!

What I love about my rx7 FD, is the simplicity of the engine compared to any modern 4l or V6 Mine is air bolt ons, power FC ECU, getting 320 on the wheel , the rpm is limited now to 8300 might increase it if I tuned the car for the summer

Great content. Is not common see that topics explained on a easy and simply way.

Love these vids!!

New to the channel. Used to have a miata, now I'm wrenching on a factory five roadster. just converted to full sequential in megasquirt(full engine harness rebuild), I've got one thing to fix before I can try to start it up.

Greg was so flexing on us with all those big brain calculatory calculations. My brain melted trying to keep up with it. 😅 🤣 Nobody...... Greg..... E=∆•√0.009÷(0.98+∆) +{yXπ} +0.98= you need stiffer springs.

Hey Greg, awesome video as per usual! One thing I was thinking of as you were talking about the amount of boost pushing on the valve. A lot of technical videos talk about boost being a measurement of resistance in the engines ability to breathe. With that in mind, if you were to optimise and increase the airflow (not pressure) in and out of the engine, then in theory, you could run the same power at lower boost, which means less force acting on the valve train. That being said, I guess you’d need to measure the airflow in and the airflow out of the engine, as optimising one over the other could impact the force on the intake and exhaust springs. Just some food for thought, as I know when I looked at Borg Warner turbos of a similar size, they seemed to require a lot more boost pressure than say a g25-550 to achieve the same power.

@TheCarPassionChannel

3 жыл бұрын

Boost pressure is a measure of restriction, correct. Airflow does make power, boost pressure is a result of restriction. So if you were making more power at lower boost you could technically run a softer spring but I would not think about that very much, just use the right springs. You're talking about +/- a few psi, if your springs are at the limit like that you should run something stiffer anyways. As far as the EFR vs G25-550, I can't say I agree at least between similar setups (the G25-550's closest relative is the EFR6758). In Miataland, most of the time you see any car taking 28-32+psi to break into the 400's it's because it's either a 1.6L or it has a more restrictive intake or exhaust system. With proper intake/exhaust manifolds on a 99+ 1.8L either one of those turbos should be in the low 400's in the 21-24psi range. So when you're doing your research just remember that the engine that the turbo is bolted onto might be the reason it takes a lot more boost pressure to make power, and might not be the turbo itself. That being said, the new G series turbos have an incredibly efficient compressor.

Great video Greg, Yes that all makes sense. I expected the new springs to be longer and lighter and I am so pleased to have been right. I think it is an improvement in the spring dynamics?

They came from an experienced head builder who explained to me that seat pressure is far more important than "over the nose" pressure aka pressure at max lift. These will also be available for sale soon so I'll come back to this video and pin a comment with a link when that happens

You asked people to comment what they drive and what they are building so here it is. I've got a 2014 MX5 NC3 and its currently at BBR getting the stage two turbo kit and coil-overs. Brakes and tyre's next then I'll be going for wheels and paint restoration. Service items and an underseal is on the list too. What happens next is anybody's guess.

Daily a 2015 Elantra, and Sunday drive a 1986 300zx GLL. Eventually going for 400hp to the wheels

Not gonna lie, sometimes its taking me a year+ to finally understand this stuff but im always glad i took the time and watched it thru even when i was like .. WTF

Hey Greg! I own a 2000 nb miata and I was thinking about doing a FM happy meal upgrade to my clutch.

Awesome episode, loved the back drops during the calculations! And as for these measurements: it is always good if you are able to verify work done by your machine shop. One question I have out of curiosity: did you measure the seat pressure of stock valve springs? If the seat pressure of stock valve springs are higher than the Volvo springs, I think the Volvo springs are a big no-no for everyone.

I'm interested to hear what you think of the 0.85 against the 0.64, the 0.85 6258 car I drove felt sluggish, but for HPDE/track days it might be optimal and help with the top end. As far as your spring setup it will probably be just fine, next time you have the valve cover off just take 10 minutes to check your lash!

@@madmiata1887 Mmm now you speaka my language. Higher A/R should be safer for whatever ignition advance you run too. Haven't really grasped that yet but apparently smaller turbines restrict how much advance you can run. Maybe more pressure in the exhaust manifold leaves more residual heat in the combustion chambers during the exhaust stroke or something

@madmiata1887

3 жыл бұрын

@@TheCarPassionChannel I was reading that ideally the exhaust manifold and intake pressure should be 1:1 while in boost, which makes sense. I think with too small of a turbine housing the exhaust manifold pressure exceeds the intake pressure. At those higher flow points the engine can't breath enough and pressure/temps rise. That's a good point, the rise in combustion temp would get you closer to pre-ign / detonation events. It would make sense that keeping combustion temps and pressures in check would allow you to run more ign advance. I'm thinking spinning 7-8k with a .64AR is like breathing through a coffee stir straw, however great for that low to rid range response. I think the compressor housing flows the rated power, but you need the .85AR turbine housing to efficiently get there. We will find out!

No units were used in the example, but if you were using m/s for the velocity yes the resulting acceleration would be m/s/s. Another valid unit could have been mi/h if you're really into the bald eagles, which would have resulted in absurd acceleration units of mi/h/s which is also valid but literally never used. I omitted units in order to reduce confusion, but it might have had the opposite effect, lol.

I’m late to the party but why stay with a standard spring. I would figure a beehive style would give you two added benefits of lighter weight valvetrain and better harmonics. They would cost more and be harder to find one with the correct specs but I’m sure they are out there.
