In this riveting throtl episode, we witness a remarkable transformation of a humble 2003 Mazda Miata into a roaring beast. The team, with their sleeves rolled up and eyes gleaming with ambition, embarks on the audacious task of swapping out the Miata's modest 1.8 L engine for the revered 13B rotary powerhouse. This isn't just any engine swap; it's a quest for over 500 horsepower, a figure that promises spine-tingling performance and tire-shredding capabilities.
With a lineup of high-performance parts like the Haltech Elite 1500, wheelwood calipers, and MIM cooling system, the team meticulously pieces together the heart of this soon-to-be ferocious machine. As the Miata's history is shared, including a fiery burnout to bid farewell to its old engine, anticipation builds for the rotary's installation. The DNA garage becomes the battleground where sensors are wired, harnesses are connected, and the first roar of the rotary engine echoes triumphantly.
The journey doesn't stop at the engine swap; the team dives into the critical realm of cooling, ensuring the rotary's fiery temperament is kept in check. Mishimoto radiators, intercoolers, and oil coolers are meticulously mounted, showcasing the team's dedication to performance and reliability. As custom exhaust pipes are crafted with precision and the car's power potential is teased, the stage is set for a symphony of horsepower and adrenaline. Garage Life becomes the arena where the Miata's newfound power is unleashed, with each boost level pushing the boundaries of speed and excitement. The team's relentless pursuit of power, performance, and the perfect exhaust note is a testament to their unwavering passion for automotive excellence.
