2.5L L5-VE Performance Engine — Custom Configurator
The 2.5L L5-VE engine swap is the most effective naturally aspirated performance upgrade for the Mazda MX-5 NC platform. By increasing displacement and optimizing torque delivery, this engine provides a significant increase in mid-range power and overall drivability compared to the factory 2.0L unit.
At DMS Tuned, we specialize in sourcing high-quality, low-mileage L5-VE blocks from the US market. Every engine undergoes a rigorous inspection and preparation process before being configured to your specific performance requirements.

DMS Preparation Process
Standard on all units:
Inspection & Cleaning: Full external deep clean and internal borescope inspection to ensure cylinder wall integrity
Timing Component Refresh: Installation of a new timing chain, guides, and tensioner for long-term reliability
Seal Replacement: New rear main seal, front crank seal, and valve cover gaskets installed as standard
VCT Verification: Full testing of the Variable Cam Timing solenoid and actuator to ensure seamless ECU integration

Configure Your Build
1. Performance Camshafts
Stock L5-VE Cams: Ideal for daily driving with massive low-end torque
DMS Stage 1 Cams: Optimized for street-performance; improves top-end breathing without sacrificing idle quality
DMS Stage 2 Cams: Designed for maximum N/A power — no valve-spring upgrade required
2. Valve Train Upgrades
OEM Springs: Suitable for stock RPM limits (6,500–7,000 RPM)
Upgraded Performance Springs: Optional — not mandatory; allow safe operation up to 7,200 RPM
3. Oil System Optimization
Balance Shaft Delete: Reduces parasitic drag and internal rotating mass for faster throttle response
2.0 Oil Pickup (for 1.8 engines): The 1.8 uses a smaller oil pickup — we fit the larger 2.0 pickup so the NC oil pan keeps consistent lubrication during high-G cornering

Performance Data (Estimated)
| Configuration | Horsepower | Torque | |---|---|---| | Stock L5-VE + DMS Tune | ~185–190 HP | ~250 Nm | | Stage 2 Cams + DMS Tune | 210–220 HP | 270 Nm+ |

Technical Requirements & Disclaimer
The 2.5L engine produces significantly higher exhaust gas volume than the factory 1.8L or 2.0L engines. To reach the performance figures listed and maintain engine health, supporting hardware is required.
Mandatory Supporting Hardware:
Upgraded Clutch: The stock NC clutch is not rated for the 270 Nm+ torque of a tuned 2.5L
Exhaust System: A full 63.5mm (2.5") free-flow midpipe and rear muffler
> Note: DMS Tuned provides the core engine, internal upgrades, and the ECU calibration. We do not supply the clutch or the 63.5mm exhaust system at this time. These must be sourced independently to complete the conversion.

"The L5-VE swap is about more than just peak horsepower; it is about the massive increase in torque that transforms the NC's character. Our configurator allows you to build an engine that meets your specific goals, from a refined daily driver to a dedicated track machine."
