Happy was with the BBR Stage 1 Turbo kit I bought from FM. I did add forged parts later to upgrade to the BBR Stage 2 Turbo. 300 whp and just awesome!

That thumbail is on point. So glad they finally painted the bumper. A few years ago they had Nancy in their calendar with the unpainted one. It was emblematic of their commitment to the NC platform at the time. Better late than never. I'll give them credit for that.

Turbo's are ok, naturally aspirated is so much more responsive. Forged crank, pistons and rods are needed to build a good, strong turbocharged engine. Great content as always. 👍

I love that he's wearing a neotec 1 modular motorcycle helmet. Part of the reason I didn't register for the track this year was because I wasn't sure if my modular motorcycle helmet would be accepted.

For real I applaud the dedication to building this in-house but 5 grand is a hard sell when you gotta chop up your stock parts anyway. And the possibility that my NC1 bits explode shortly after.
@boblast5582 Күн бұрын
drop in? I've only seen 1 NC with an ecoboost put in it and I'm pretty sure they had to hack up the firewall to get it in there. Am I wrong? Is there a "drop in" swap for the ecoboost now?
@MiazdaDude 14 күн бұрын
Brandon: "It's at low boost, but not up to our target." Jordan: "That makes sense. " That was a missed opportunity for a more probative question.

I wonder what car feels faster the ND or the NC after forced induction.
@tigerrider6711 13 күн бұрын
it looks like FM have worked really hard to make this work and be CARB legal, and by looking at it, seems to be a very well designed kit. However I would think it's a lot of pointless R&D. The stock cat was never designed to run FI, or be cut apart and welded on. The problem is how long that cat will last at the rich AFR's on a FI tune. Even running a secondary cat further downstream with my turbo, it was melted apart after a few thousand miles. I appreciate the work behind this system, but the real solution here is to just turbo the car properly and break the law, register it out of state, or know a guy who will pass your emissions testing.

It’s getting harder and harder to do that. And the older I get I don’t want to deal with the hassle anymore.

Why don't you get the BBR GTI kit as it has great reviews and developed for years. They are based in the UK but ship worldwide.
@FlywheelFilms 14 күн бұрын
Great question! BBR does not explicitly state that their kit can be fitted to a RHD car. Also, the kit directly from BBR would not have CARB (California Air Resource Board) compliance. If you live in one of the 17 states in the US that adhere to CARB, it would not be an option. Flyin' Miata has done the legwork to get that CARB certification for the ND BBR kit, as they are a retailer for that kit in the US.

@@FlywheelFilms : I get your point and understand the hype now. Huge fan, Keep up the great work. Your channel has been one of the biggest factors behind me getting Miata recently. I'm looking to get the BBR 200 kit fitted at their workshop next month.

@@sayanpal9491 They almost always have a waiting list so get booked in asap. I was told 6 weeks but it ended up being around 8 weeks. Make sure to get your dyno results because mine weren't in the car when I got it back. I phoned them about it but they never sent me them. I got the stage 2 turbo kit and it was worth every penny but they are so busy the guy seems a bit scatter brained. Good luck with your project man.

I don't want it to be noisy or drone end end up being like my last project car..I got the underbody seal, a full service and seat lowering brackets done. Next is suspension and roll bars. Not sure to go for the BBR suspension or meister zeta CRD

Am I the only one who absolutely hates the idea of a turbo mx5. It’s a small, light, nippy sportster. Part of the joy is the lovely smoothness of power through the rev range and the minute adjustability that gives you when pushing on. The last thing an mx5 needs is huge dollops of turbocharged torque upsetting the balance. I get maybe a small supercharger, but to me the 220ish bhp available from full NA tuning on these cars is far preferable.
@Mushroomancer 14 күн бұрын
I get you, but this is a bad take. Let people make their car how they like it. If you like NA sports cars sweet. Let the boosty guys have their roadster too. Remember, miata is always the answer, no matter what
@diseasesjesus5078 14 күн бұрын
tell that to Mazda who made a turbo mx5 from the factory LOL. your point is moot
@FlywheelFilms 14 күн бұрын
I'd strongly recommend holding judgement until you drive one or something similar! Modern, reasonably sized turbos have phenomenal response and don't have unpredictable torque surges.
@nottherealaaron 14 күн бұрын
It's shockingly linear and feels stock until you roll into it on a straight. Balance it with a little more tire and it's fine, especially since these cars are so communicative. It also killed the drone from my exhaust which is a bonus.

There's V6 swaps too for the NA fans... just sayin'
