twin-turbo 1200hp MX-5 Miata

Watch a drift team build a 1200 hp, twin-turbo, 4-rotor Mazda Miata




From the hood-routed quad waste gate dumps to the eight-injector intake manifold, everything on this NC Miata has been thoroughly massaged and reengineered to accommodate what's essentially a purpose-built R26B—the four-rotor that powered the ludicrous 767 and 787B Le Mans prototypes in the early 1990s. To say this is a custom build is to do an injustice to the word "custom." It's a bespoke-fabbed masterpiece of Mazda excess.

"Mad" Mike Whiddett is a professional drifter from New Zealand who counts Red Bull among his sponsors, and he's calling the MX-5 project the "RADBUL." The team expects the R26B to be capable of up to 1500 hp in short bursts, and from a power-to-weight ratio perspective it should be unparalleled in international pro-spec drifting.

There is ongoing coverage of the RADBUL build , but check out the engine build video below:
