Meet the Samaroo Racing time attack Mazda NA6 Miata. I came onboard this program about 2 years ago as the engine calibrator, and we’ve been steadily refining the setup to extract every ounce of reliable performance possible.
The previous setup was sitting at an estimated 400 WHP. With a brand-new, fully built cylinder head onboard, the goal is now pushing toward the 500 WHP mark to keep this monster competitive on track.
This little 1600cc platform has almost no OEM DNA left:
Engine: Fully built & spec’d cylinder head + forged bottom end
Drivetrain: Aftermarket gear set
Chassis & Aero: Custom Öhlins suspension + heavy aero all around
Unfortunately, this weekend we battled our fair share of bugs with the current ECU, alongside some stubborn fueling gremlins. The verdict? The current management is getting binned.
It’s time to step things up. We're retrofitting the Miata with one of my custom epicEFI ECUs to give this platform the next-level, rock-solid engine management it desperately needs.
The next outing is in November. I can't wait to see the Samaroo Racing Mazda MX-5 back on track and completely unleashed.
