When Mazda launched the hugely successful MX-5 in
1989, they forgot one thing: serious power. With a mere
115bhp from the first model it was lively but it lacked
real excitement and the punch to overtake with
confidence. Thankfully Mazda pre-empted this complaint
with what was hidden under the bonnet: the MK1 engine
was lifted straight from the celebrated, turbo-charged
Mazda 323 GTX.
The 323 engine was already a reliable and bullet proof
unit which made it ideal for forced induction, so the
Americans took up the challenge in the early 1990s; the
Sebring Supercharger kits and Flyin' Miata Turbos that
were developed soon turned a nice, little sports car
into a performance demon. Horsepower on MK1 cars leapt
to between 180 and 250bhp and the performance
aftermarket flourished. Everybody could now drive a fast
MX-5.
This forced induction technology has come on a long way
in the last decade and has meant increased power,
reliability and a range of user-controllable features.
If you want another useful 60bhp for your car we can
provide it; if you want a mighty MX-5 with 250bhp (and
upwards) we can manage the transformation.
P5 has researched all the FI systems available and we
only bring you the best: we're official UK distributors
for the BR Performance MP62 supercharger kit and the
Flyin' Miata turbo kit. Because we have a close
relationship with these US manufacturers, you can trust
our advice and experience. If something new is coming
along, improvements are on the way or prices are
changing, we'll know, and consequently you'll know,
about it first.
You'll probably have a whole bunch of questions about
fitting a 'blower' to your pride and joy, so give us a
call first on 0845 230 4505 to discuss the options.
You'll get honest, technical advice and no pressure to
buy anything. We want you to feel ready before we turn
your lively roadster into something that will give you
supreme confidence and an ear-to-ear smile next time you
lean on the gas pedal.
