Description

I bought this MX5 3 years ago (summer 2020) with 106K miles It had a good engine and gearbox and had only been clocking up a couple of thousand miles per year. Although we kept the external appearance as stock we followed the miataturbo upgrades to produce a very quick wolf in sheep's clothing. The work we have carried out includes:2002 Mazda MX-5 1.8 Sport 6 speed - VVT Mk2.5 / NB2Meister R Zeta CRD dampers and springsME221 (V2) ECU Borg warner EFR 6258 turbo EFR Electronic Boost Control (fully configured)EFR 'low boost' actuator can p/n 179282. Good for 7-8psi waste gate pressure Kraken Low Mount Manifold & full 3" exhaust from the turbo back Kraken high flow sports CAT included Magna flow 12579 muffler Kraken FMIC intercooler & pipework Modified water pump inlet pipe to allow proper fitment of the Kraken low mount manifold All exhaust components are connected with high quality V-band fittings Ramair foam induction filter GM style IAT sensor EGR blanking plates from BOFI Racing KOYO 50mm aluminium radiator AEM UEGO Wideband sensor Flow Force 640cc injectors (tightly flow matched Bosch EV14 tech) Deatsch Werks DW200 fuel pump36-2 trigger wheel from BOFI Racing NGK BKR7E spark plugsE301-13-890A uprated PCV valve Professionally mapped to ~250whp and ~210lbft with only 11-12psi of boost. Safe for the stock engine. Swap in some forged rods & pistons & bigger injectors and you'll be set for up to 400hp before the turbo .4 wheel laser alignment & ride height performed by Blink Motorsport.

Idles beautifully. Goes like stink from 2500rpm pulling hard all the way to redline. Great handling. Sounds amazing. Fantastic base for a reliable track car. If you want a high powered MX-5 this setup will support 400hp with a forged bottom end, bigger injectors and high octane fuel. Reliably and faultlessly boosting Next MOT due 04/07/2023, Blue, 5+ owners, £6,000
