Performance parts package 1.6 NA SG180

Product information "Performance parts package 1.6 NA SG180"

This is our ultimate naturally aspirated performance package. With 180 HP from a fully rebuilt high-compression engine paired with our individual throttle body system, this is the top of the NA food chain. Developed on the racetrack, refined for the street — uncompromising in quality, performance, and drivability.

Two Options – Parts Package or Full Installation

You can choose between two configurations:

  • Parts Package (without installation): You receive all components for self-installation. ECU tuning, dyno protocol, and TÜV registration are not included.
  • Full Installation (with tuning & registration): All components are professionally installed at SPS Motorsport. The ECU is then individually calibrated on our in-house dyno and on the road — including dyno protocol. Finally, the entire conversion is inspected and officially registered at our facility. Registration is included in the price.

Included services with full installation:

  • Full engine rebuild according to our Stage 2 NA engine spec
  • Installation of the Jenvey individual throttle body kit
  • Installation of the SPS header kit
  • Installation of the standalone ECU incl. wideband lambda sensor and 52 mm gauge
  • Installation of camshafts and adjustable cam gears
  • Installation of the SPS oil cooler kit
  • Installation of the half-size radiator
  • Installation of water pump, timing belt, and spark plugs
  • Oil change to Motalin 10W-60 HP Racing incl. new oil filter
  • Adjustment of camshaft timing
  • ECU calibration on dyno and road
  • Dyno run incl. performance protocol
  • TÜV registration at SPS Motorsport

Power Increase – Up to 180 HP

This setup represents the absolute peak of naturally aspirated tuning for the 1.6 engine. The fully rebuilt engine features custom pistons, reinforced bearings, a reworked cylinder head, and a high-revving valvetrain. Combined with ITBs and a standalone ECU, it delivers razor-sharp throttle response, motorsport-grade acoustics, and relentless top-end power — all while remaining road legal and TÜV-approved.

Exhaust System Requirement

⚠️ Full power is only achieved when paired with an exhaust system featuring a minimum pipe diameter of 55 mm. We recommend our Group A exhaust system, which can be added as an accessory during checkout. Without it, the full performance potential will not be reached.

Registration & Certification

⚠️ This performance package can be combined with these exhaust systems:

  • Friedrich Motorsport Group A
  • Don Silencioso
  • Fox/SPS Group A

For other exhaust systems please contact us in advance via email, so we can check first whether a TÜV registration is possible.

Developed with Motorsport DNA

All performance packages are configured in-house at SPS Motorsport. Whether you're aiming for lightweight NA tuning, ITB conversion, or turbocharging – we use all components ourselves and put them to the test on the racetrack. Our development focuses on harmonious power delivery, maximum reliability, and a clean, OEM-like engine bay appearance.

Upgradeable & Modular

Our performance packages are modular and fully upgradeable. If you decide to expand your setup later, we’ll provide the right support and advise you on meaningful upgrades.

Lifetime Support

Every performance package installed by us comes with lifetime support. Since we use these products ourselves — on the road and on track — we can help with nearly any issue quickly and practically. Got questions? Just ask!

Accessory Items

With EG-Approval
SPS Motorsport group A exhaust system MX-5 NA
SPS logo: without SPS laserlogo | Tip: Tailpipe 76mm, sharp-edged, angled
Our SPS Motorsport sports exhaust system replaces the original front and rear silencers. The system is available with a 76mm tailpipe. The systems are based on the absorption principle, meaning that perforated tubes run through the silencers. This results in lower exhaust back pressure and thus an increase in power and torque. Compared to the standard system, it also produces a deeper and more powerful exhaust sound. This complete stainless steel exhaust is suitable for model years 1989-1998 with engine power outputs of 66, 85, or 96 kW. It is delivered with an EC type-approval certificate.
