Designed to meet the demand for a lower cost engine upgrade that delivers extra response, power, driveability and excitement, the BBR ‘Super 180’ package produces a substantial performance increase at a more readily affordable price than BBR’s awesome MX-5 supercharger upgrades.

BBR stainless steel 4 into 1 exhaust manifold
BBR 2.5 inch stainless steel exhaust centre section with high flow metallic sports cat and centre silencer

Back to back dyno testing with the standard 158bhp 2.0i Mazda MX-5 shows that the BBR ‘Super 180’ gains a considerable 22bhp, taking peak power to a maximum of 179.8bhp at 6800 rpm.
As with all the engine conversions developed by the firm, BBR’s work has focussed on ensuring that the ‘Super 180’ package produces power gains throughout the rev range, without detracting from the user-friendly nature of the car. Extensive dyno testing has proven that power gains start from just 1750rpm and build progressively up to the 7500rpm rev limiter.
