Boss Frog 8.8 kit WTF
#27
Doesnt someone already sell billet bearing caps, and I know there's already the crush sleeve eliminator kits. But there's only so much you can do. I was at the jersey pro last year when joefis grenaded a torsen with like 160hp, it ripped up all the lsd inside gears, not the R&P. Probably the strongest you're going to get the stock diff is to use an MSM OSG to get the MSM axles, a crush sleeve eliminator and billet bearing caps with extra high strength bolts.

The point is... i'm working with a 1.6 car that currently has no rear end in it.
By the time i pay for an MSM rear assembly with an OSG, a ratio that works, and a way to mount it sans PPF, i've spent ALL THE MONEY and i could have gotten the entire 8.8 setup up and running, and it stands a much better chance of living through what i'm going to throw at it.
So yeah. This is why i made a thread with my concerns about the 8.8 setups on the market.

Yep! If i was starting with a 1.8 Torsen car, i'd consider rolling the dice on the 3.308 group buy, but then i'd be pretty much locked into a 6spd, which i know i'll shred.
If i stick with Miata stuff, i have to compromise between strength vs. gearing, and more likely, both at once, and that sounds awful.
