Can anyone please tell me how much does the kit costs? Just the kit without installation. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the New Focus 2012 has the same engine?...
You shouldn't shift at the redline limiter. you should look up the maximum RWHP of a stock MX-5 (unless you have mods in which case go to a dyno and look at the sheet) and shift at that. You lose power after that EXACT RPM.
@puppykicker54 The revlimitier on the miata is only about 100 RPMs above where its max power which is around 6800 the limitier is set around 7000 on most of them
Very nice but, I'd still like to have a NA with a V8 in it instead. Much faster and if you want even more power you can turbo or supercharge a v8. Now that would be some sick horse power. Love the miata with all my heart but sorry that it was never an option to order it with a V8. In about 6 months or less I'm sure their will be a V8 kit for the NC.
@turfwerks1 but the thing is with the engine it has you can work it to the nuts and still get decent fuel milage. if your workin a v8 to the nuts youll be getting fkin 8mpg
@julingy I can totally understand where you are coming from. I on the other hand I would never have a miata as an everyday driver. They are not really good in the rain let alone the Chicago winters that I have lived with all my life. I personally would have no problem filling a v8 MX-5 with 110 octane. For me this is just my toy race car now in life. Have fun with yours. She's an awesome car.
i don't know if they could keep it revvy like it is now if they changed the engine...thats part of why i like the miata is the revvyness. Although if i had something with low end v8 power i wouldn't mind the change :).
mpalm887 I could care less what the S2K guys say. But consider this the Miata has more torque and weights about 400 pounds less than the Honda, advantage Mazda it has more potential the honda is dead in the water there won't be a 2011, Cosworth is F1 proven Race technology, you can't go wrong with stuff like that, such supercharger was made with Lotus and Honeywell father of turbo Technology. It won't take much to eat an S2K for lunch, just an intake in this engine can net 20 additional horses.
Good to know guys. Thanks for the opinions. I agree and am currently shopping for an MX-5. Want a used one with as few options as possible and highest mileage possible...going to switch out A LOT.
Dont go Mx5 the s2000 is a far better drive took them both out b4 i bought my s2k. The vtec is a much better bases to start tuning then a cosworth engine. Vortech supercharger and your well over 300bhp then its up to you how far you go
it would take a lot more than a Cosworth SC to get 300hp out of an MX-5, and considering the near perfect reliability of those VTEC systems that is a tempting route. I'm close to closing a deal on an MX-5 so I'm glad I got this to think about before I finally buy.
Yeah! I went to an autocross event and there were several Miatas there. This one miata took 1st for the quickest time.Better then the vettes, S2ks, BMWs, STis and the like. I was able ride in some guys 300hp turbocharged 1st gen. miata! He forgot to put on the right tires for the autoX event, so basically he was drifting around the cones. It was fun.
sounds like fun, Im kinda getting tired of my FWD GF22 body 626 es KLG4. i bored it, stroked it, ported the intake and whent turbo with KLZE pistons but...... its still FWD. lol. I want to get an MX5 because it has more potential as a autocross car/ Drift MONSTER! I think there is a video on youtube of a turbo miata murdering an RB25 skyline on the 1/4 mile.
Nice. I feel you man. I used to have a Mazda6 tuned, but the only thing missing was RWD... Since then I have upgraded and sold my 6 and got a twin-turbo BMW, RWD. hah. Sooo much fun! But for some reason I've been lookin' at MX-5s and find them appealing. My friend has one in Mint condition. Go for it get a MX-5 I seen some cheap ones that are in great condition. All you'd have to do it pop on a turbo/Supercharger and have a ball drifting.
"L" is the code for the new 1.8-2.3L Mazda "MZR" engines. Ford also makes and uses Mazda's L-engines, as the Duratec I4s. "MZR" is a brand name, like "Duratec" and not a specific engine code.
-LF-VE is the 2.0 (LF-DE if it has no VVT)
-L3-VE is the 2.3 from the mazda3/6
-L3-VDT is the DISI turbo engine code from the mazdaspeeds. VDT means "V"VT, "D"irect Injection, "T"urbo.
"VE" means "V'VT "E"FI or if no VVT then it's "DE" "D"OHC "E"FI
the L8 is the 1.8L version that we don't have in NA
That sounds so good man congrats! Love the supercharger whine and the exhaust sounds great as well! Check out some of my vids if you want... 2005 Focus ST (US SPEC) 2.3L duratec w/Steeda intake for now... but looking to do a cosworth 67mm TB, Cossie intake manifold and exhaust and eventually some boost!
At the moment I have Bilstein shocks with Eibach Pro Kit springs, IL Motorsports Anti Roll Bars and IL Motorsport Chassis Braces. The car feels great! I Just need to have the geometry checked after I get the new wheels on. Looking forward to it!
I have watched this video about 1000 times so thought I would post and say hello. I have bought one of the First Cosworth Superchargers in the UK But not got it fitted yet. Still waiting on the hoses for the RHD fitment.
