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.
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...
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!
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.
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.
I don't know what to think. I've been watching for a while and seen the videos on NA and the NB but I've just put a deposit on a 2l NC. Can't wait though, I'm in love and I don't have it yet
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.
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.
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
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
12:01 sounds purrrrrr fect. 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?
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.

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
For anyone considering it. The Kai gears are the best bang for your buck. Quality parts, and actual features that no one else has.
This explains why you've been thinking about the VVT cam timing thing lol.
@12:02 was that the 10mm wrench hitting the ground?
Exactly my thought too!
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.
homework? nah
New TCPC video? HELL YEAH
Just gonna shout out KAijection, all of their parts are top notch and well worth it.
Dad always delivering the best Miata videos on the Tube
was heading to bed, saw the notification. worth the time as always. I've a nb2.5 ( NBFL ), so many useful stuff.

Daddy is spoiling us so hard lately
This is perfect!!! I need to dial in my world challenge protege cams after the first start this weekend.
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
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!
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.
It's wonderful technology, but the cost is not worth it for 8000 RPM maximum. Titanium valve springs would be way cheaper ....
Will love to see how did you Finally set out the gears I didn’t got to find the other video
Exposed cam gears look way too good !
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.
I was really hoping that the stock boi rap gonna be the new intro music
You can get the Maruha carbon fibre cover to go over the exposed cam geats.
This Channel is just a Gem
It would be worth pulling the head off and skimming it 1-1.4mm to bump up the compression! Great videos keep up the good work
These will be great with ITBs!!
I don't know what to think. I've been watching for a while and seen the videos on NA and the NB but I've just put a deposit on a 2l NC. Can't wait though, I'm in love and I don't have it yet
You just answered a boatload of questions. Thank you.
greek petters back at it again with the content! lesgoo
Once again thanks for another banger video! Cant wait for dyno day. See you next week dad 👋🏽💯📈
despite my name, I don't even own a Miata anymore and still watch these videos every time....
Come back to us lol
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.
I have an automotive engineering exam in one hour. What could possibly prepare me better than Craigh and a video about cam gears?
Great video man! 🤙🏽
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.
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 $35.
You're confusing adjusting the ignition timing with adjusting the cam timing, they are two completely different things.
Since changing from a miata to ans14 there us no videos of this kind of quality and technical detail. Can you sell you nb for an s14 pls?
Omg this!! Just bought an s13 but just gonna park it and keep going with my nb solely because of TCPC.
These tech videos are really good, thanks!
FYI got some BLOX aliexpress cam gears for like 50$ a pair and they have the bumps.. just check they are not too tall and smash the sensor xD
Once you un-hook the timing belt from the cam gears, the timing belt tension will not get messed? I want to do this to my 4AG engine. Thank you.
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
Another great video, keep em coming!
Hello. I need dime help.
What does the cam sensor read un the gear?

Nice info but where in the procedure did you degree the cam? Did I miss it?
Flyin Miata again proves it's worth the money vs generic nonsense. No surprise there. Buy cheap, buy twice.
I can set vvt from 0-60o in MEITE.
Great info as always, sir🤟
What was the reason the miata changed around the location of the cam sensor? and why was it not inside the distributor?
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

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.
hell yea!!
does piston to valve clearance need to be checked when adjusting cam gears? I've had adjustable on my car since 2003 and I've never adjusted them
I was in the middle of watching Alien vs. Predator, but took a break to watch this
watched that yesterday,
Few hours ago Alien Covenant 😂
is that didnt work in honda cars?
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?
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.
Has anyone done an ex-intake cam swap on a 1990 na6 miata?
Was really hoping this was another freestyle diss of non boosted miatas
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
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.
Wasn't really interested.. But watched it because Gregs ma boy!
Watching this was like at the end of infinity war part 1 think no where’s the rest of it!!! Even tho I know there’s more coming 😂
When is tune and dyno results vid out?
Monday
@@TheCarPassionChannel sweet, loving these real world myth busting mods vids.
I fkg love this channel
Can you add VVT to a non VVT 1.8 and if so what does it take?
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.
You can, via changing the head and adding an ECU that can control VVT.
Well Done.
My body is ready
But what about the exhintake mod?
Huh?
At the end of the exhintake video you mentioned there were *funky surprises*
@@gerardgeer642 it will all make sense soon don't worry
Loud TCPC video notification make sad head voice quiet
Notification gang
nice
I'm here dad
Coffee made. Ass in couch. Time to learn🤙🏻
I really wanna buy a Miata right now but all the cool mods are illegal in germany so thats that
Fre$h outro!
Fab9 timing wheels suck i had one grenade on me
First time in my life I'm first!
