1 · Your current engine
Your 2.0 — you don't need another one
You don't need another 2.0. You need 220hp.
Naturally aspirated, no turbo, no reliability trade-off. You already have the 2.0 ECU and the pickup — you're not buying the basics twice, you're buying the top end. 2.5 + our Stage 2 cams = 218–220hp / 270Nm, on our dyno, DIN 70020 corrected.
The real question isn't €2,600 here vs a bit less elsewhere — it's the price of the car you own, or €14,000+ to change car.

Two ways to start.
Reserve your engine — €1,800 ex VAT. One L5-VE from the next incoming batch, held in your name: €1,800 now instead of €2,000 on arrival. Engines from the batch that landed 25 September are in stock now at €2,000 — the rest of the build is paid when it’s built. (Shipping & VAT added at checkout — the exact total shows before you pay.)
Reserve your engine — €1,800 ex VAT →Or send us the full build: we confirm your car and engine on WhatsApp or email first, then you pay — total below.
🛡 90-day start-up guarantee. Fit it and turn the key. If the engine has an internal fault that was in it when it shipped, I send you another one — shipping on me. A replacement, not a repair.
200 engines across Europe and beyond. I’ve never walked away from one.

Why MazdaEdit?
Because we’ve mastered the platform — it feels native to us, it works great, and it has the best logger in the world. We’ve been on it for 15 years straight as MazdaEdit master tuners. The secret to tuning is having tools you trust and know inside-out. Are there other solutions out there, like ECUTEK or VersaTuner? Yes — and we’ll implement them soon, but only when we’re comfortable enough to say we handle them the way we handle MazdaEdit.
All engines are inspected before shipping. Installation takes 3–5 working days at our Artemida (Athens) workshop. Shipping available across the EU.
