Mazda MX-5 NB 1.6 Turbo — 397HP / 503Nm @ 2.0 Bar (MS3 Optimized)

Mazda MX-5 NB 1.6 turbo build calibrated and optimized by DMS Tuned using Megasquirt MS3 engine management.

This development phase focused on refining the ECU strategy for stable 2.0 bar boost operation, resulting in 397 horsepower and 503Nm of torque.

Vehicle Configuration

• 1.6L BP engine platform
• Turbocharged configuration
• Megasquirt MS3 standalone ECU
• 2.0 bar boost target
• Custom dyno calibration

ECU Optimization Strategy

The primary goal was stable high-boost operation with predictable torque delivery and safe combustion control.

Key development areas included:

• Boost control stability at 2.0 bar
• Lambda consistency under peak load
• Ignition timing refinement
• Knock threshold monitoring
• Torque curve smoothing

Calibration was validated on our dyno facility in Athens under real load conditions.

Engine Management & Calibration Options
