This week, our ECM Titanium technical team has prepared very interesting documents on one of the best-selling Roadster cars available on the European market and on many others. You will discover many things on its engine (features and advantages) and how to read the control unit (via OBDII with KESSv2<\/a>), and of course, on the drivers and corresponding maps.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s study is a focus on Mazda MX5 equipped with engine 2.0L 16V SKYACTIV-G featuring 160PS and ECU DENSO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MX-5 was produced in four generations, identified with VIN number NA (1989\u20131997), NB (1998\u20132005), NC (2005\u20132015 and ND (2015-in course of production).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compared to the previous one, the fourth generation of MX-5 is 105 mm shorter and is provided with a new body design that recalls the style of the contemporary Mazda Kodo Design<\/em>, weights about 100kg less thanks to the use of composite materials with an estimated vehicle unladen weight of about 1,000 kg and is equipped with two SkyActive-G 1.5 cc 2L direct injection propellers controlled through a manual or automatic six-speed gearbox.<\/p>\n

Rispetto alla precedente, la quarta generazione della MX-5 \u00e8 pi\u00f9 corta 105 mm ed \u00e8 dotata di un nuovo design della carrozzeria che riprende lo stile delle contemporanee Mazda chiamato Kodo Design<\/em>, pesa circa 100 kg in meno grazie all’impiego di materiali compositi con un peso a vuoto stimato della vettura intorno ai 1.000 kg ed \u00e8 dotata di due propulsori SkyActiv-G con cilindrata da 1.5 e 2 litri a iniezione diretta gestito da un cambio a sei marce, manuale o automatico.<\/p>\n

On the front side is a double wishbone suspension system with light alloy arms limiting the weight. And on the rear side is a multilink 5-arm suspension. Standard models feature a manually operated soft top roof which can be opened and closed in a few seconds.<\/p>\n

On the basis of the fourth generation of MX-5 on a common rear-wheel platform, following an agreement with FCA and a joint with Fiat, Fiat 124 Spider has also been developped. Differences between the two cars involve bodywork, engines (made by Fiat and turbocharged for the italian version) and calibration of suspensions and steer.<\/p>\n

The MX5 range has been recently enriched by the RF (Retractable Fastback), a plate version <\/em>with partially foldable rigid, metal top roof.<\/p>\n

Motori SKYACTIV-G<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elastic, progressive and ready: 4-cylinder gasoline engines belonging to the SKYACTIV-G Mazda range feature direct injection, very high compression and, compared to the current trends, they are not provided with turbo function.<\/strong> Mazda has chosen its own path through a new generation of propellers that grant class-leading consumptions without compromising the car\u2019s performance and the pleasure of driving.<\/p>\n
