Found it in a scrap pile in Japan for $300. After blowing the clutch on the dyno we're pulling the engine part to bore it out, forge what we can and put it back together with a bigger turbo to chase down more power in this epic AWD nugget of a forever car Huge thanks to Julian, Isaac and our mates for the extra help.

Tonight on Tasty Car Mods: The Mira's clutch can feel itself slipping Marty steals an excavator to rip its turbo out And the Mira's engine gets new 400 grit oil.
Here in Malaysia there’s a lot of aftermarket parts. They even push this engine to almost 200hp. Stripped the car down and bait everyone on the street. The head is the weak point on this engine. You can easily crack the head when running a lot of boost. Nissan march piston is the way to go. Can handle 2.5bar of boost.
I'm a simple man,I see Mira and I watch it 😂😂
great seeing Julian and Issac on camera again.

25:09 perfect way to identify which piston is which!
Never delete the air con!!!!!🥵 Love the Nuggets.. Hoping to see upgraded brakes and mad skids.. How much power will she make? Love how you two can track down hard to find parts Worldwide to keep the Nugget Dreams Alive.
What a great way to roll into the weekend with a new episode of "How much will this silly stunt cost me this time"
Absolutely enjoyed myself with this episode, More nugget content pls!!!!!!
That oil is so clean. Clearly well taken care of
The amount of effort that's gone into that little nugget is insane! absolutely love it. Thanks for taking the time to create, edit, and share.
My favourite series is back, all hail the Mighty Mira! What I do miss the most are the long episodes that inched the Mira closer and closer to being brought back to life. Don't rush these please, show us all the details :)
Marty, it’s your car so I must say YoUr DoInG iT wRoNg Cmon man, paint the timing cover and rocker cover, everything else looks so nice
I don’t think I’ve ever been this early! Nugget!
I hope you guys rebuild that whole engine with all forged parts
Clutch needs replacement = While you're in there - engine rebuild. What a huge amount of effort Marty & co!
Thats why its a better idea to pull the pan while its on the bottom before you spin it over. Great content as always!
:18 "And we'll take the clutch off too..." a man of my comedy. Love it
Honestly? Huge on you for rebuilding the 3 cyl, instead of throwing a motorbike engine or another small displacement engine into the bay. Love seeing this sort of stuff.
what a great friend you have in Julian!
