Default BP-T Rods w/ 84mm Wisecos, RPS Max Clutch







Pistons are SOLD, the Rods are still available for $75 shipped.

The clutch is a RPS Max with a Exedy disk. It also has 60k on it. RPS doesnt make a clutch for the miata anymore but this was a great clutch and very streetable. Its rated for 350ft/lb by RPS. It held 270+ for me and never slipped. The disk still has plenty of life however you could just throw on another new exedy disk if you felt inclined. $100 + Shipping

If you want a package deal Ill do both for 350 + Shipping.

I did have the rods shot peened and checked by my local machine shop before I built this motor 60k ago. The pistons are in amazing shape for the miles they have on them, the skirts have very little wear and when I took the motor apart it had 175 compression across the board.I made 296whp/270ftlb on these. The carbon on the tops could be easily cleaned off and they would look really nice. $275 + Shipping

Will the pistons fit a 99-00 1.8 if i bore to 84mm?

As a heads up, if these came out of a BG chassis (1.8L BP, 90-94) GTX, those are the same as the standard Miata BP rods. The BF chassis 1.6L rods were the stronger ones.

They came out of a b6t motor. One look at them and you can tell they aren't standard b6/bp rods they are way thicker. Standard Miata rods look like twigs.

Ahhh yes the classic rod bend when you make too much torque, glad it held together so you didn't have a ventilated block

Don't MT.net and drink. I read that as BPT rods for some reason. Looking at them now, it is clear that they are BF GTX rods.

Wait so is it 100 for the clutch and pressure plate or 350? Did you mean 350 for rods and everything?
If its 100 for the clutch setup I'll take it!
edit: actually could you measure it with calipers first?
