 RX7 Twin Turbo

 RX7 Twin Turbo - Bathurst Champion

Click for more on MX5

 

For years many MX5 owners have had to resort to the aftermarket for more power to exploit the excellent chassis. Now you can purchase a turbo version that has been developed by Allan Horsley of Mazda Motorsport. Yes he is the same guy that implemented the cooking version of the RX7 twin turbo.

With an increase of nearly 40 kW from the turbo with new freeflow manifold and larger bore exhaust, the setup was developed to eliminate any turbo lag from upsetting the fine response and driving experience of this classic handling car.

  Turbo Power for MX-5

With approximately 150 kilowatts and 280 newton-metres of torque the
locally-developed MX-5 SP lifts the world?s most popular convertible sports
car to a new level of performance.

Developed by Mazda Australia?s Motorsport Division, the MX-5 SP employs a
water-cooled turbocharger system incorporating an intercooler to
significantly lift the standard car?s already impressive power and torque
peaks.
