over 300 rwhp, questionable.

all the supercharger guys in dallas say 230whp or so is the limit. I don't know why people constantly break shit out here...and if I hear "turbo cars are unreliable" anymore I'm going to stab myself.

well its torque vs hp, and torque breaks things HP doesnt.

230 whp is the limit...

Here, I'll make you feel more comfortable, "I've had my car to rev limit in 5th gear on a public highway on multiple occasions."

With what rearend and how fast was that? A friend of mine was asking me what a miata tops out at the other day and I couldnt tell him. But I know for sure his Sky Redline will take it waaaay higher, lol.

Unless your power ambitions are high, get a 5 speed; you'll be happier with the ratios.

Freight is ~$50 thru DHL to an office.... it went to FL? from MI.

And my vote is: get a TII Rx-7 Trans :) and don't worry about anything.... + their cheap - mine was around 200

We top out where ever our redline and gears run out miatas are hp limited nothing else that being said mine hits 130+ pretty easily at 14 psi. And should go to 145-150 given the need to go there.
Dhark the T2 tranny swap is very labor intensive though i dont think most of us wanna go with that much work.

SOL General 09-09-2007 01:56 PM

t2 = very labor intensive, someone needs to come out with a kit.
Quafie gearset = Too expensive, FM charges you up the butt
6 speed = Kind of expensive, plus need (want) new R&P.

There really isnt anything that is easy, and cheap to fix beside getting 5-6 transmission that can sit in your garage.

Does anyone know if the MS Axels will fit in a 96 Torsen II?

bought mine 625 shipped on eBay. It was the cleanest tranny I've ever seen.

I'm still running a 4.30:1 r&p. I have a 4.10:1 rear I need to stuff into the car though.

How fast is that, I :dunno:, you can do the math. With enough HP you can bury the speedo needle.

magnamx-5 09-09-2007 09:38 PM

There is a good chance they will work together. The MS axels are suposed to be beefier from what i hear how much beefier is the question.

SOL General 09-09-2007 09:55 PM

Well since no one makes higher hp axels I guess that trying to find MS axels is what I am going to have to find

Look up partsgroup.com they're parting that '04 out.
