NC1 vs NC2 vs 2.5 swap
| Car | Tuned, measured | Cars | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NC 1.8 (L8) | 139–159 hp · median 151 hp / 183 Nm | 8 | Smallest step. For a big change the 2.5 swap is the better use of the money. |
| NC1 / NC2 2.0 (LF) | 190–206 hp · median 201 hp / 222 Nm | 3 | Same ECU family on NC1 and NC2, tuned on the stock ECU. Some of these cars run cams. Our stock 2.0 reference: 162 hp / 197 Nm. |
| 2.5 swap (L5), NA | best pulls 182–225 hp · Stage 2 cams median 219 hp / 270 Nm | 27 NA + 5 turbo | Needs a real calibration: the stock 2.0 file does not know it runs a 2.5. |
Crank hp, DIN 70020, our own DynoRevolt. Medians and ranges over the tuned peak of the cars in each row.
What we change, what we log
| Area | What we change | What we check in the logs |
|---|---|---|

| Ignition | Timing tables by load and rpm, per fuel grade | Timing advance and knock retard on every pull |
| Valve timing | Intake cam (VVT) targets | Cam angle actual vs target |
| Throttle / torque | Pedal and torque request maps, drive by wire response | Pedal, throttle angle, calculated load |
| Limits | Rev limiter and speed limiter where you ask for it | RPM, coolant and intake air temperature |
| 2.5 swap | Injector and displacement scaling, idle and cold start for the L5 | Cold start and idle trims across several drives |
FAQ
How much does an MX-5 NC tune cost?
A remote NC tune is €450 + VAT (€558 incl. VAT), or $480 outside the EU. A tune on our dyno in Athens starts at €450, and a dyno run on its own is €70. The £ and $ figures on this page are approximate conversions, except the fixed $480 remote price.
How much power does a tuned NC make?
Measured on our own dyno: tuned NC 1.8s ran 139–159 hp (median 151, 8 cars). Tuned NC 2.0s ran 190–206 hp (median 201, 3 cars, some with cams). Our stock NC 2.0 reference made 162 hp / 197 Nm on the same rollers. All figures are crank hp, DIN 70020.
NC1, NC2 or a 2.5 swap: what is different for the tune?
NC1 and NC2 2.0 cars run the same ECU family and we tune both through MazdaEdit on the stock ECU. The 1.8 is the smallest step. The 2.5 swap needs a proper calibration for the bigger engine: the stock 2.0 file does not know it is running a 2.5.
Do I need to come to Athens?
No. Most NC tunes are remote: you flash with MazdaEdit, record the logs we ask for, and we revise the map from your data. If you can come, we tune it on our dyno.
What do I need for a remote tune?
The MazdaEdit kit (cable and licence) and a laptop. Tell us the car, year, mods and fuel and we tell you exactly what to log.
Can I go back to stock?
Yes. We keep your original read and can flash it back whenever you want.
