Does the Charge Pipe Kit for NB Miata cars fit the standard 1.8L Miata?

No. HPS lists the Charge Pipe Kit for NB Mazdaspeed Miata cars, part number 17-152, only for the 2004-2005 Mazdaspeed Miata 1.8L Turbo. The kit replaces the factory lower hot side and cold side intercooler pipes, which exist only on the turbocharged MSM, so a naturally aspirated NB has nothing for it to replace.

Which factory parts does this kit replace?

HPS lists OEM part numbers BP8J13230D and BP8J133D0B, the lower hot side and lower cold side charge pipes on the Mazdaspeed Miata. The kit also replaces the stock rubber couplers with HPS 4-ply reinforced silicone, held by 100 percent stainless steel embossed hose clamps.

How much heat can the silicone couplers take?

HPS rates its 4-ply reinforced silicone couplers for temperatures up to 350F, and says they far outlast the stock rubber couplers, which dry, crack and split over time. That margin matters on the hot side of the system, where the pipe carries compressed air from the turbo toward the intercooler.

Is installation difficult?

No. HPS says the kit is engineered for a direct fit on the Mazdaspeed Miata Turbo and needs no complex modifications. Instructions are supplied digitally, and the job involves removing the two steel lower pipes and their couplers, fitting the aluminum pipes with the new silicone couplers, and tightening the stainless clamps.

How much power does the kit add?

HPS says the kit improves acceleration and throttle response but does not publish dyno figures for it, so BA does not quote a horsepower gain. The clearer benefits are corrosion resistance, joints sealed by bead-rolled ends and embossed clamps, and couplers that will not dry out like the factory rubber.

Description

HPS Lower Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipe Kit for NB Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata

HPS’s Lower Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipe Kit for NB Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata swaps both steel lower charge pipes on the 2004-2005 MSM, OEM parts BP8J13230D and BP8J133D0B, for 2.25 inch mandrel-bent aircraft grade aluminum. The factory rubber couplers dry and split with age, so HPS supplies 4-ply reinforced silicone rated to 350F and holds it with stainless embossed clamps. For an owner refreshing a turbo roadster that is now two decades old, it covers the lower half of the intercooler plumbing in one box.

Design and Performance

HPS replaces the steel stock pipes with aluminum that it says resists corrosion and keeps airflow consistent in demanding driving, while bead-rolled ends and embossed clamps target blowouts at the joints. HPS publishes no dyno figure, so treat this as a durability upgrade rather than a power part. It does not include the throttle body elbow, which HPS sells separately.

Features

Mandrel-bent aircraft grade aluminum tubing that HPS says resists corrosion
Bead-rolled pipe ends that minimize boost leaks from couplers popping off
4-ply reinforced silicone couplers in place of the stock rubber, which dries and cracks with age
100 percent stainless steel embossed hose clamps for a leak-free seal
The Charge Pipe Kit for NB Mazdaspeed models comes in black or polished aluminum

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
