In this riveting episode of Rob Dahm's channel, we witness the audacious installation of a 200-horsepower engine in a humble Miata. Dubbed "Joel," this one-rotor e-shaft promises to make the Miata a true rocket on wheels. Rob's ambition to create the lightest 13B-based engine ever is nothing short of automotive madness. With a collection of rare e-shafts, including dreams of a six-rotor turbo setup, the sheer engineering brilliance on display is mind-boggling.
As Rob delves into the intricacies of rotor configurations, from one to four rotors, the technical challenges become apparent. The team's innovative approach to adapting the Miata transmission for this unique project showcases their engineering prowess. Utilizing a Turbo 2 bell housing and precision measurements, they navigate the complexities with finesse. The use of a 3D scanner to streamline the adaptation process exemplifies cutting-edge technology in the automotive world.
From meticulously assembling components like the FC bell housing to creating custom adapters, every step in this project exudes meticulous attention to detail. The team's dedication to overcoming challenges, such as injector port placement in the dummy block, highlights their commitment to perfection. As they weigh the components and test the engine and transmission assembly, the anticipation for the project's completion builds. With a keen eye on optimal performance and strategic placement within the Miata, the team's planning and execution set the stage for an automotive masterpiece in the making.
