I know the miata is lighter, but as I recall in the supra/sc applications, those W55 and W58 trannies were on borrowed time at much over 350 whp. The R154 usually fared better, which was where a lot of guys ended up since the setup to the V160 is such huge jump.

Well, for starters, I believe the IS had the later vvti version didn't it? Anyway, it's been quite a few years, but I'm pretty sure those later versions used in the IS had weaker rods or something, didn't they? The earlier GE motors, as in the Supras and my '92 SC300, were stouter and stood up quite well to 500+. Lots of examples out there.

Vlad, when I saw it was a white NB, you were the first guy I thought of. I was like, "why, oh why does it have to happen like this?!? I hope Vlad doesn't see this, or it's gonna sting."
Sorry brony...I feel your pain.
