Mazda MX-5 with a Turbo Volvo Inline-Five

1993 Mazda MX-5 with a turbocharged Volvo inline-five

Joris van de Velde designs and makes performance parts for his company MPperformance in the Netherlands. Joris has also been building a 1993 Mazda MX-5 (NA) on his YataJoris channel. The roadster was previously powered by a turbocharged 1.6 L inline-four. However Joris is swapping that for a turbocharged 2.4 L Volvo B5244T3 inline-five pulled from a Volvo S60. Joris rebuilt the inline-five and added a Pulsar 2860 turbocharger, custom oil pump, and a set of custom mounts. Behind the motor is a ZF GS6-53DZ six-speed manual transmission with a Volvo bellhousing front welded to the front. Between the two is a Volvo flywheel, BMW X3 clutch disc, and Volvo pressure plate.
