This week on Money Pit, we're going with the flow - Air Flow that is. Getting more air into your engine is the key to making power. We're replacing the whole intake system to see how much more power we can make on the dyno!
We have a new channel!

Money Pit is where you get to learn about cars as we work on them. Each ep we’ll breakdown how each component works and then we’ll upgrade it. Join us in our journey to build cool cars, learn about them, and drive the crap out of them!
Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

Anybody else come back to see when Zach borked up the PCV system?
Nothing better than a man farting in his garage (change my mind)
Zach: i have to weld a bung and a nipple Me: hehe nice 🐸
Dudes farting while fixing cars. Awesome.
Seems like an awful amount of work and money to get 10 measely horsepower. Mebbe you' d have better results if you USE A TORQUE WRENCH.
@zackjobe what do u think about Honda Civic to modify? And which thinks to modify?
This is jshlatt with the hat backwards 😎
Oooo nipples lol
Did you try using itb to your miata?
is it okay if i change the intake manifold but stock throttle body and stock exhaust???
Get rid of the 180 loop on the air intake 90’s and turns on air intakes restrict air flow substantially
If you put an aftermarket short ram air intake in, and your engine light comes on for MAF sensor, how do you go about troubleshooting it?
I used to own a Lenovo Y50-70 too. Keep those body screws tight on that laptop it'll fall apart.
What's the deal with an ad every minute?
Dont you need a new tune when you change that much internal cubic inches?
If you just install a cold air intake, is that bad for your whip?
say gosh not god
I'm glad I'm not the only one that will start my car with my right foot on the clutch if I'm not in all the way lol
If your ever finish this car and ik it a project car and project cars are never done but can you do a FD rx7 next
i enjoy the thinking and effort that goes into these but its sad that my 1984 turbo efi goldwing makes a lot more than 112.75 hp, ps also is a naked goldwing with all aluminum custom nothing is stock lol
This week, Zach looks exactly like Taco from The League
The $700+ spent on this intake and throttle body could have gotten a 5.3 and 4l60e to swap in and make more power NA than $11,000 and "eventually getting a turbo" ever will XD.
$720 in parts... plus tax... plus shipping... for 7.25 horsepower... That's over $100 per horsepower... Quick physics lesson, an intake will make you ZERO horsepower unless your exhaust system was better than your old intake. You can only pull in as much air as you can push out without forced induction.
hi i was wondering from where is to buy some of the Exhaust parts and so since my car is 2003 infiniti i35 and i looked to chenge its Exhaust from start to the end ???
All that effort and you didn't port the intake manifold?!? Dude, that is what would have given your numbers.
pause it at exavtly 7:48 trust me its worth it his face looks like a pedaphile.
am I the only one that dead ass smealded that fart?
Probably needs a better amp alternator or the alternator is dying
Turbo the miata?
probably could have had your 10 hp if you port matched
when you change throttle body of your ass you can fart bigger and heavier
It’s also a mita.. if you had any other car you’d probably get +25 hp
How long until the turbo you seem like you have plans for it
Take the air filter off. It would of made 122whp.
No pressure in the lines after rest usually isn’t the regulator, it’s typically the back-check valve in the fuel pump assembly in the fuel tank. These valves wear out as cars age and causes the fuel pressure to bleed back into the tank after shutoff
Notice how it's not about the numbers only after they've failed?
I like how the end of the video is always a justification of why it's not about the number but we all know it is.
Woah hold your horses mate! You thought we wouldn't see that atrocious weld @ 11:23 just 'cus you put it out of focus?
why dont rev it more than 7k?
Everybody knows that he sticker is the Powah.. duh!
You should insulate that intake, running across the engine like that is heating up the air as it runs by that long pipe. I know it's temp but it could effect the data somewhat.
7:40 bro hahaha
Taco bell morning after swampass rippin them
Wash your car man, Zach, it's godawful! LOL.
Wow I really like how you guys present these upgrades on the car
4:20, 10 minutes before november...
As a shade tree mechanic for decades I could tell you that when you put performance / racing Parts on your car or truck You will be sacrificing the longevity of that part for a part that may perform better but will not last anywhere near as long. What most people don't understand is these people that race these cars usually tear them apart at the end of the race and rebuild them For the next race.
Double digits? Good luck!
"I'm pretty impressed that these work as long as they do with being so dirty" Me with me 92 F-150 shitbox, injectors covered in oil and grease hehe truck go bwahhhh.
Next weeks video: Is getting a good battery worth it?
Don't try this, its not going to any benefits rather u will get engine check warning soon
When she hits me up for the 4th time today 4:20
I was hoping he’d show us how he installed the idle air control valve
You simply can't buy honesty. You have to get up close and personal with it.
Dude this video was perfect. I knew NOTHING about cars and now I'm learning about all the engine parts and how-to's with this channel
More like 6.7% HP improvement //
When it comes to tuning I am quite a novice. That being said does he not have to hook up his mass air flow back to his intake system? I guessed as the mega squirt allow for the deletion of the maf?
Dig it, but those oily carbon baked cylinder ports 👀. So cheap oil catch cans...even on NA! Worth every penny.
Thanks for sharing this
Lmao I don't even like miatas but this is definitely the best part of my week. Laughing when Zack curses because you don't expect it but for whatever reason it makes you smile like when a 5 year old says "shit" lol
7:40 Donut media: pauses half way through a sentence **shitting pants face..** 🥴💨 Me: 😐 Subscribing...
"I'm on my last nut" I'm dying laughing I'm so immature
Damn $400 intake gives 7hp hahaha I could see this being worth it if it would give a solid 20hp gain at least
"I'm on my last nut" I'm dying laughing I'm so immature
Don't want my hose to chafe.
Dont know if my intake is the problem. But I'm having trouble with my NOS car. Thinking I might change to turbo but that's way more expensive. I spent over 150 bucks on NOS and my car wont even start now. I know it's the NOS cause I checked everything else. Spark plugs, fuel pump and lines ect .. for now I guess I'll drain the tank and go back to pump gas.
6.12 well Zach thats a taper fit not a parallel style fitting.... hence the thread length 😉
Need turbo broooo
@bilinas miniyes but I need it now 😕
You know he’s always saying “it’ll pay off when we pit a turbo in it” or “we’re going to pit a turbo in it”
I've never seen anyone spend so much money to make so little power before. I feel like this is actually an achievement in a weird way haha.
"I'm pretty impressed that these work as long as they do with being so dirty" Me with me 92 F-150 shitbox, injectors covered in oil and grease hehe truck go bwahhhh.
At least you're taking off parts from a Cali car. Try taking parts off something that old where I live, it's all rusted together at this point.
I use colored zip ties to tag lines and harnesses. Just a quick tip.
You should install a camshaft high performance
rich "gibby" your tuner saved me! He is an amazing tuner and saved my wrx from disaster because of a previous owners in experience. Thanks gibby!!!! from utah
Great content, thanks for your time spent on us (viewer's) 👌
What did that do to the mpg???
iam imagining things, did he just fart? lol
Is upgrading your engine even worth it? You did so much to your engine but my stock 2005 VW passat still has more HP
CAIs do not increase power. You changed the entire intake.
Whole video: nice and professional And then: 7:40
You should have opted for individual throttle bodies. They allow for more air intake.
You know he’s always saying “it’ll pay off when we pit a turbo in it” or “we’re going to pit a turbo in it”
Dang that car got more problems than your relationship
1:52 "So the first thing is always first" - Zach Jobe Now these are words to live by
:)
6.12 well Zach thats a taper fit not a parallel style fitting.... hence the thread length 😉
have you clean your intake?
6:29 every z/honda boy ever
When you add the turbo I bet you'll get to that magic 122
@Atarv Hegde easy 220+, 240 is pushing it but damn i’d love to see that
Well I feel with 15 psi boost , the Miata can make 240+ hrps
A-10: BRRRRRRRRRRT Z: BRRRRRRRRT Zach is an A-10.
rich "gibby" your tuner saved me! He is an amazing tuner and saved my wrx from disaster because of a previous owners in experience. Thanks gibby!!!! from utah
all that money on the car and for only 120hp buy a better car lol
That’s a sweet hot air intake
Please LS swap the miata
You should do a up to speed on the jeep comanche
I wanna see the Miata engine swapped and boosted, that would be cool
I have a question, is a Honda civic of a mazda rx8 a good beginners car?
Should have explain although it doesnt apply to this build since it will be turbo charged, but a bigger intake and bigger throttle body will also slow down acceleration, although it allows for higher speeds
Bruh, i just noticed the BMW M3 GTR RC car on the steps of the garage, nice. Been looking for that body for a while now.
You'll be better off porting and polishing the old intake.
You know he’s always saying “it’ll pay off when we pit a turbo in it” or “we’re going to pit a turbo in it”
Please reinforce the diff case when you turbo it, it’ll definitely give out because of that dimple
:)
I wonder how many people have been killed by 10mm sockets from tailgating project cars on the highway.
That was about $100 per HP ....not bad considering the standalone ECU was $200 per HP
6:29 every z/honda boy ever
no supercharger myth
