Turbo Conversion in East Midlands

Would like to look closer and getting my 1.8 Eunos boosted, any known mechanics / specialists in Notts/Derbyshir/Leicestershire?

 

I would have suggested five speed at Hucknall (Nottingham North side) but just checked and his business is closed, which confirms a comment from someone else a while back.

So - no idea I’m afraid.

My son turbo’d his Mk2 a couple of years ago. He gathered together the parts he wanted and had a bespoke 3" exhaust made to suit the turbo, which was “dry fitted”. He then delivered the parts and the car to Blink Motorsport who carried out the conversion and tuning. They did an excellent job and the car is now very quick indeed.

Hi,

 

Not quite North East Midlands but I would recommend Carl Smith at CBS Autos up in the North West. Not much he doesn’t know about FI Mx5s or Mx5s in general for that matter. 

www.mx5specialists.com even if you just have a chat to him for information. Fantastic bloke and well respected in the Mx5 community.

Hi,

Sorry I’m a bit late replying to this one, I think you will struggle in the East Midlands to find anyone thats got a good history of Turbo installs. As others have mentioned further afield you have quite a few options. I had my MK1 done by G19 and Doug was excellent, however, they now sell most of the parts online so you could try them. I’m not sure if this is something that Thrussington Garage (http://thrussingtongarage.co.uk/) would do but they seem to get good feedback on the forum for most work and I believe they are ME221 authorised dealers. 

Good luck!
