MX5 K24
Engine Swaps

For the last few years, we’ve been developing Project R, the first K24 engine swap for righthand-drive Mazda MX5 NCs in the UK. In 2024 we launched our two K24 conversion kits, the NA 300hp and turbo 400-500 hp variants.

Listen to the K24 in Action

Listen to our K24 NA conversion kit in action at Donnington Park. Our cryogenically strengthened NC gearbox and carbon fibre drive shaft (6-Speed Only) marry the K24 power unit to handle the additional horsepower and torque.
