2004 Mazda MAZDASPEED MX-5

New Arrival...more pictures available soon. Fitted with a single-scroll turbocharger and intercooler the MazdaSpeed Miata's 1.8-liter now makes 178 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. To handle the extra power the engine block is modified to accommodate the oil line for the turbo, the cooling system receives an increased radiator core volume with increased coolant capacity, the 6-spd. manual transmission, clutch and pressure plate, driveshaft and differential all have been optimized, and a Denso intercooler added. The piston shapes have also been modified to increase displacement volume in the cylinders and handle the extra fuel-air mixture provided by the turbocharger. Harder rubber is used for the engine and differential mounts to account for increased torque and avoid flexing and wearing due to more extreme temperature changes under the hood. These precise engine modifications, combined with a short-throw 6-spd with improved gear durability and sport-tuned suspension, makes for an amazingly quick and agile car. The already-able Miata chassis gets dropped 7mm in ride height through the use of shorter springs with increased spring rates. MazdaSpeed tuned Bilstein dampers soak up vibration while larger front and rear stabilizer bars and a front strut tower brace increase chassis rigidity and improve road-holding capability. Mazda engineers meticulously tuned the suspension to get the most out of the turbocharged powerplant, deftly handling the brute power sent through the Bosch torque-sensing limited slip differential to the 17-inch Racing Hart aluminum alloy wheels. MazdaSpeed Miata also receives a quicker steering ratio and all four corners receive silver-painted brake calipers and ABS. To help it breathe better a Flyin' Miata Complete Intake Kit has been added including high performance intake, boost controller, throttle body inlet pipe, and recirculated Turbosmart bypass valve as well as Flyin' Miata boost guage.
