MX-5 NBFL 1.8 VVT — Pure NA Power on MS3
A beautiful NBFL Miata running the 1.8 VVT engine with MS3 standalone management, calibrated on our dyno for clean naturally aspirated performance.
Engine & Management Setup
The factory ECU was replaced with MS3 standalone, allowing full ignition, fuel and VVT control. The goal was smooth mid-range torque and stable top-end power without sacrificing drivability.
- 1.8L VVT BP engine
- MS3 standalone ECU
- Naturally aspirated configuration
Dyno Output
Final measured result on our dyno:
158hp — Naturally Aspirated
Timing refinement and VVT optimization allowed the engine to produce clean, linear power across the rev range while maintaining safe air-fuel ratios.
