MX-5 NC 1.8 180HP Performance Package
Unlock the hidden performance of your Mazda MX-5 NC 1.8 with our 180HP Performance Package.
This upgrade kit is engineered for drivers who want sharper throttle response, more power, and an engaging driving experience without compromising reliability. Delivering a robust 180 horsepower from the 1.8L engine, this package is the ideal blend of efficiency, sound, and performance—while working seamlessly with stock pistons and valvetrain.
Package Includes:
4-1 Stainless Steel Headers
High-flow stainless headers designed to optimize exhaust scavenging, reduce restrictions, and deliver a freer-revving engine. Expect stronger mid-range torque, smoother top-end power, and a sportier exhaust note.
Cold Air Intake (CAI)
A performance cold air intake that feeds the engine cooler, denser air. This improves combustion, sharpens throttle response, and adds a deeper induction sound.
200CPI High-Flow Catalytic Converter
A 200-cell high-flow sports cat that balances performance and emissions compliance. It improves exhaust gas evacuation, unlocking horsepower and torque across the RPM range.
Stage 1 ECU Remap
Custom ECU calibration tailored to the included hardware. The remap refines ignition timing, fueling, and throttle mapping to extract maximum safe power—delivering sharper response and consistent performance. Final output: 180HP.
Non-VVT Stage 2 Camshafts (Stock Pistons/Valvetrain Safe)
Specially designed Stage 2 camshafts for the non-VVT 1.8 engine. These cams increase valve lift and duration for stronger mid-range pull, higher rev potential, and improved throttle response—without requiring internal engine upgrades.
