Mazda tuner, BBR, has launched its latest
development, a Stage 1 turbocharger upgrade for the MY 2015 onwards Mazda MX-5
ND models, including the RF. Revolving around the 2.0-liter four-banger unit,
it adopts a twin-scroll turbocharger, brings
the total output to 248 Hp and 320 Nm of torque.
This represents a 90 Hp and 120 Nm increase
over the standard model, and slashes its 0-96 km/h sprint from 7.3
seconds to 5.0 seconds, while top speed is electronically capped at 250 km/h.
BBR says that the
upgrade, which is straightforward to install, retains a factory style
appearance, and is fully reversible. The tuner will gladly install the Stage 1
upgrade to your Mazda MX-5 for £ 4,995 (US$ 6,396), and will provide you with a
dyno power graph.
If you're looking into a small project,
then they can also supply a DIY version, which comes with all the hardware and
software, for £ 4,395 (US$ 5,628). The tuning package is available for both UK as
well as US buyers, the latter however will need to contact Flyin' Miata, the
exclusive distributor.
