Does your ND1 Miata crave boost? Here’s the solution from the turbo experts at BBR. It’s a beautifully engineered piece of kit, adapted for LHD use.

Please note that this kit will not work with ND2s (2019+) due to a lack of sufficient access to the ECU for programming. We do not currently have an ETA for availability.

This kit is emissions legal throughout the US, including California.CARB EO D-601-4.

A custom 3071 provides lots of power headroom with fast response thanks to the twin scroll design and the ND’s high compression. It’s mounted to a tubular-style cast manifold for best flow and durability. Custom silicone intercooler pipes take the charge through an air/air intercooler to maximize density. The high flow downpipe mates up to a stock exhaust or a higher flowing alternative. Expect a gain of at least 60 hp and 60 lb-ft of torque with a stock exhaust. You can expect even more at elevation, as the turbo will make up for the lack of air density (if you add a boost controller). While a supercharger can do the same thing, it can only do so with a (more complicated) pulley change. 

Easy installation with no drilling or changes to the fuel system. It’s the quickest turbo install we’ve ever done, and the quietest we’ve ever driven. You can’t hear any hisses or other noises, the car just digs in and pulls hard.

The downpipe incorporates your existing catalytic converter. You have your choice of welding your catalytic converter into the downpipe or purchasing a new one. Please note that if you do the welding, you will also be responsible to ensure it’s properly aligned (the car itself acts as a good jig).

The system comes with a reflash for the stock engine computer. If you do not own or have access to an Ecutek tuning interface, you will need to purchase one in order to install the tune. Running the turbo without the reflash installed will result in immediate engine damage.

Please note that the kit is set up for correct boost at sea level. If you live at higher altitude (2000′ or more), we do recommend a boost controller to bring the system into the desired range. This is not needed at lower altitudes.

This kit will work with both manual and automatic ND1s. It won’t work on non-US market cars with the 1.5 liter engine, though.
