Everyone talks horsepower. The 2.5 swap is a torque story.
4 engines left from this batch. Then it’s the pre-order queue.
The math: a used MX-5 2.0 with 180,000 km sells for €1,800. A fresh 2.5 L5-VE — 40–60k km, camera-checked inside, papers in the box — is the same €1,800 on pre-order.
Your 2.0 pulls ~185Nm, a 1.8 just 168Nm. The 2.5 puts down 250–270Nm — +80Nm of shove, everywhere in the rev range, not a peaky top end. It’s the only plug-and-play naturally-aspirated swap the NC has: 220hp / 270Nm standard, 240 with high compression, 250–260 with Stage 3+ cams.
Still on the 1.8? Even bigger jump: 126hp/168Nm → 185hp/250Nm+, a new heart in your car. We supply the 2.0 ECU it needs, flashed with our base map, in the price. Nothing left to hunt down.
Every engine: inside on camera, papers you can check, engine number that matches your invoice, and a 90-day start-up guarantee — if it doesn’t start on me, another one ships, my cost, a replacement not a repair.
Every number off my own dyno, DIN 70020. I’d rather you read 185 and get 190 than read 200 and get 185.
114 of these since 2017, into 13 countries. Your NC doesn’t need a repair. It needs a new heart.
