The Mazda Miata MX-5 is an enjoyable ride; however, its acceleration isn’t particularly impressive off the start. Powered by a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV four-cylinder engine, it generates 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. While this amount provides a spirited drive, it’s not sufficient to set any speed records.
To enhance its performance, BBR has introduced a Stage 1 turbo upgrade for this beloved compact sports car. As per the press release, the installation of the Stage 1 turbocharger does not necessitate extensive engine modifications or removal. Remarkably, this upgrade provides an additional 93 horsepower and 92 lb-ft of torque, pushing the total to 248 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to this substantial boost, the Miata can now accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5 seconds, a decrease from the previous time of approximately 6.4 seconds.
If you’re considering the BBR Stage 1 turbo upgrade, be prepared to invest $5,633.00, which accounts for about 25 percent of the car’s overall base value.
