Description
Want to make your Mazdaspeed into the car it should have been from the factory? Our Little Enchilada package includes everything you need to optimize the powertrain without getting into injectors or computer modifications. The end result does not cause check engine lights, provides more low-end torque and a smoother powerband with about 33% more power. All of our parts are designed to work as an integrated system, so you won't feel as if you're trying to patch together a bunch of unrelated bits.
If you want to take your stock Mazdaspeed up to right around 200 hp at the wheels, you'll follow the first four suggestions in our recommended upgrade path. We've taken these parts and bundled them together for you so you not only get a suite of products designed to work together, you also save money!
The Little Enchilada package includes the following:
FM intake
FM throttle body inlet pipe
recirculating Turbosmart bypass valve
FM O2 signal modifier
FM downpipe
FM midpipe and exhaust
FM intercooler
check valve kit
FM boost gauge kit and gauge pod.
The Little Enchilada will happily pass an OBD-II check, but it cannot be shipped to California as it does not have an EO. The downpipe cannot be shipped to Colorado, New York, or Maine due to emissions requirements. Emissions will not be a problem in any other state or province, as the cat is EPA-approved for this application. The intake is not compatible with RHD cars that have air conditioning.

I own a pristine 2005 MSM that received the FM Lil Enchilada kit almost 15 years ago! It transformed the Miata from a good experience to a GREAT one! It's been bullet-proof reliable and frankly while I could replace the car at any time, the FM parts make it a forever keeper! THANKS Flyin Miata for continuing to support one of the world's finest driving experiences ever!
Wow! We're proud and glad to hear that your Little Enchilada kit has been going strong all this time! Thank you very much for sharing your experience with our parts!
I was on the fence about it, given the price per HP, but after having used it for a few months I'd say it is definitely the way to go. The car has significantly more power across the rev range, not just up at the top. Both the low end and top end gains are very noticeable. The sound of the intake and bypass valve are really great, never get old. The exhaust is noticeably louder but I would have liked a bit more. There is a little bit of drone but only in a very low rev range that you would not normally be in at all. It is not obnoxious or tiring at all.
The installation process was pretty straightforward, done in one day by a professional that I was getting in the way of and feeding beer. There have been no codes, CELs etc, the car still passes emissions inspection and fuel consumption is only worse if you get on it a lot. If you stay out of boost it is similar to before (just as terrible for something with that weight and power).
It is a good idea to get the AFR gage too.
Overall it makes the car feel much better and I look forward to driving it a lot more.
Bought a pretty stock MSM 2005 in summer of 2023 and the lil enchilada was not available, but some of the kit was available...bought everything I could from flyin' miata and found the air intake kit from someone on the boards...
Once the entire package was installed, i fell completely in love with the transformation from awesome machine to superb!
Disclosure, I was unable to source the O2 signal modifier separately, so that is not on my sweet little ride.
Other notes, I do agree one of the other reviews that the hose fitting barely holds onto the pipe, so tightening just right is crucial. Also I have to commend FlyinMiata customer service and management as they helped me every step of the way as I phase installed this kit.
also if you read and re-read the instructions, I found very few weaknesses...but this came through me going over them repeatedly, watched videos etc.
If you want your MSM to make you smile even more than stock....do it! Just accept that you wont be going back to factory totally because you are cutting the intercooler pipes...(btw the intercooler videos are very helpful. Despite others complaints, by removing the front clip, I was able to bend the A/c lines out of the way and put the Intercooler in using the provided directions and pre drilled holes. (one fourm dude indicated needing to drill a different hole for alignment....not the case on my 2005, all FM plans were accurate.
Thx FM team
Definitely makes a lot more power, but my car is now the loudest one wherever I go and it's embarassing...
Note from FM: If anything, we typically get the opposite comment about our exhaust. Please check to be sure there are no leaks. One of the most common issues is an open O2 sensor bung.
I purchased my MSM new in 2004. Nine years later I purchased a Little Enchilada. Everything fit perfectly with no issues whatsoever. The result was much better throttle response, a great sound from the intake and the exhaust, a lot more power, and no problems, never even a CEL. My only regret is not having made this mod years earlier. I�m still driving this car primarily because of the vast improvement in performance with the Little Enchilada.
