As you probably are aware FM are constantly out of stock of these Turbo Kits, we have managed to secure ourselves a very limited amount of these kits for when they are back in stock. We are officially taking pre-orders. Once pre-orders are made we will contact you with a rough ETA from FM.
Flyin' Miata turbo systems have been the standard for years. They offer easy installation of safe and clean power with proven durability. Our Stage 1 turbo system - once known as the Voodoo II - is ideal for someone looking for an easy installation, good horsepower, no emissions hassles and lots of upgrade potential (for dedicated track / not-street-legal cars). Expect approximately 185-200 hp at the rear wheels, compared to a stock 110-115 hp.
The manifolds have just been redesigned after some CFD (computational fluid dynamics) testing. They now offer 24% greater flow than our previous design and are also more than 2.5 lbs lighter. Combined with the new outlet, the manifold / turbo / outlet assembly is nearly 4 lbs lighter! They have staggered runner diameters to ensure consistent timing of the exhaust pulses into the turbine. This means faster spool and the potential for higher power. Now Cerakoted! The manifold and outlet are both Cerakoted in C-7900 Glacier Titanium. It's rated for 1,800°F (980°C), so it's perfect for our application. We've been running this coating on our cars for over a year, and it's held up great through track days and daily driving. The new parts are a direct replacement for the old. Do you want even more info on our new manifolds and outlet? You're in luck! Check out our Knowledge Base article on them here.
This is limited by the size of the stock injectors. The intercooler means that you will keep all of your horsepower no matter how hard you run your car. It's powder-coated for durability and good looks, but with a special thermal property that allows it to shed heat as well as bare aluminum. The FM logo on the intercooler can face forward (visible) or rearward (invisible).
All of our turbo kits use the same basic hardware for super easy upgrade-ability. Every part has been designed taking performance, durability and installation ease into consideration. We don't believe there is a better (or more complete) turbo system available. With our kits, you won't be making extra trips to the hardware store for nuts and bolts; every part you need is included.
However, you won't necessarily feel the need to upgrade. The Stage 1 ekes as much power as possible out of the stock injectors without resorting to mechanical tricks such as high fuel pressure. Tuning is kept to a minimum and there's no need to install high-pressure fuel pumps or bother with fuel lines at all. The car simply makes smooth, effortless power without a fuss.
Fuel management is handled by our own Voodoo Box, which uses the stock injectors to deliver more fuel. Because it only modifies the signal under boost, the car acts completely stock at idle and cruise. There is no tuning required.
The turbo is a GT2560R, which is a great match to the Miata engine at this boost level. It makes just as much boost down low as a smaller unit, but without choking off the top end.
Along with this turbo system, you will need a new clutch. Cars that see track use or are in hot climates will also require a radiator upgrade.
If your car has ABS, you will need the Aluminium Washer Bottle Relocation kit. For 1999-00 cars with California emissions (two catalytic converters), this kit will remove the first cat and the EO will not be valid.
While this system is compatible with the stock ECU and transmission on an automatic NB, the downpipe will need modification to clear the automatic bellhousing. We've heard everything from "it just needed a small dent" to "I had to build a new downpipe", so be prepared. You will also have to use one of our mid pipes (the stock one won't work). You could also need a vacuum accumulator and there might be some idle issues - in short, while it can be made to work, prepare for a bit of a headache if you're installing this on an automatic car.
This kit is designed to work specifically with non-Mazdaspeed (MSM) NBs. While it will work fine on MSM engines installed in non-MSM NBs, the included parts - specifically the oil drain and supply - aren't the simplest solutions possible. If you have a complete MSM, this is NOT the kit for you and will NOT function correctly
Water supply note: if you are using an FM coolant reroute, choose the reroute option.
