This is certainly the big news for NC Miata owners.... First, please don't email me ANY questions because EVERYTHING I currently know is posted here. I have many more photos which I can post when back in the shop. Complete bolt on custom cast aluminum manifold 62 cubic inch Eaton blower kit with integrated water/air intercooler (laminova style) and engine management system. Boost will be conservative 5 or 6 pounds and expected horsepower is around 225 and expected on sale date is late February 2008...and they indicated a plan to CARB it too. Yes, we will be a dealer...and they may be using our NC early in the new year for first "finished" kit installation!! Projected retail (and this may slip....) is $4999 which is a bargain given the incredible integration of this unit which looks very factory with its custom intake manifold. Looks like I may be back to SM2 class for autocross next season!

Ha! I have a question anyway. Is that the MAF that's sticking out of the intake manifold? I'm taking about that black do-dad on the runner between the IC and the head. It doesn't make sense why it would be there.

Looks like the have also added a CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder Head for the MZRs to their price list as well. The NC is becoming a more compelling platform every day!

Yes, that's the MAF sensor...my guess is that they put it there to avoid a flow error code.

They also indicated a number of normally aspirated mods in the works for the Miata NC motor in particular including cams soon.... And down the road "perhaps" forged pistons and rods....and "maybe" even a 2.3 stroke kit.

Based on what you saw at the show, does this seem like something that someone who knows which direction to turn a wrench, and not much more than that, could install? Or would it be better to seek professional help? When an intercooler is involved it always makes me a little nervous.

No way to know at this time...will have to see or do the install to know for sure but I didn't see anything especially complicated....all bolt on.
