Performance Package NC 1.8 TC230

Product information "Performance Package NC 1.8 TC230"

This performance package was developed by SPS Motorsport on the racetrack, adapted for street use, and continuously refined. All components are engineered in-house and used in our own race cars — delivering maximum performance, uncompromising quality, and a clean, OEM-like engine bay appearance.

Two Options – Parts Package or Full Installation

You can choose between two configurations:

  • Parts Package (without installation): 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 a dyno protocol. Finally, the entire conversion is inspected and officially registered at our facility. Registration is included in the price.

Power Upgrade to 230 HP

In Stage 1, we install our SPS turbo kit for the MX-5 NC along with a high-flow sports catalytic converter. To manage thermal load, we add an upgraded water radiator and our oil cooler kit. For reliable power delivery, a reinforced clutch is installed. The package also includes a full oil change to Motalin 10W-60 HP Racing with a new filter.

Note: Full power output 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 230 HP target will not be reached.

Registration Notice

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

  • Friedrich Motorsport Group A
  • 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.

Upgradeable & Modular

Our packages are modular and future-proof. If you decide to upgrade later, we’ll provide the necessary support and guidance to expand your setup.

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. Got questions? Just ask!
