A front-mounted or side-mounted element group enhances the efficiency of the early Mazda MX-5 (NA) fashions outfitted with the 1.6-liter engine. This aftermarket addition cools the consumption air cost, rising air density and, consequently, enhancing engine energy output. It typically includes a core, piping, and mounting {hardware} designed for seamless integration.
Implementing such a system addresses a key limitation of turbocharged engines: warmth generated throughout compression. Decreasing the consumption air temperature permits for safer operation at increased enhance ranges and helps mitigate the danger of pre-ignition or detonation. This, in flip, results in improved throttle response, larger peak horsepower, and elevated total engine effectivity, notably in forced-induction purposes.
