I know of different transmission options but as I said on top I had this one already

Is "I already had it" a better excuse to shoehorn a transmission into your build than it is to shoehorn a turbo into your build? :dunno:

Great. So what's the question? Sounds about as smart as turbo-ing your Miata because you had some random tractor turbo laying around.

Clearly you should build your car around your transmission.

The question is for the people running an fd3s transmission, the question is also not related to other transmission options.

If the transmission breaks i could care less i ll just dump more money and get the bmw conversion kit from k miata.

I'll be nice and answer your question:
my cousin had a 93 fd many years ago. Iirc he went through 2-3 transmissions on it. car was just bolt ons but he street raced the daylights out of it (but no track at all). So to me, that's pretty weak.
I mean, if you wanna do things roundabout and waste money and time then sure. Just document it well and take lots of pictures, so we can just link the next guy that's gonna be making the same exact thread in the next few months.

It is if all i need is 500$ to shove it in there if it holds to my power goal ?

There you go thanks for a reasonable answer.

That was answered. We don't do that, because it sucks.

How much less could you care?

$500 all in to run an FD trans. Hahahahahaah how precious you are.

Around how much power was he pushing?

When u have the right connections and the right parts lol yeah it sill cost bout 500$ maybe add another 200 for a clutch disk but that is about it

bolt ons on 91oct. so like 300whp?

I think you'll be a little bit more qualified to drop prices when you've actually completed it.

Here's the thing... turns out i've purchased a clutch for TII/FD application before. It being a good one, it cost about $550, alone.

I should get back the transmission back this week, machinist told me should not cost more than 400$ for bell-housing conversion, already have the what i need to connect the slave to it and all i m missing is the clutch disk and a clutch line

Sounds like you're almost there. Just like the hundred guys before you. Just like every unfinished project for sale ever. "just needs...........and its done"



:D

A clutch disk alone does not get any closer to 550 lol maybe u got it with a pressure plate but i already have act pressure plate, after doing some research an nc clutch disk will fit it just fine

Accounting for the market price of that transmission in good shape, puts you within striking distance of a transmission solution that works well.

Correct.... but do you have an appropriate pressure plate?

Lmao never giving up on my dream.
8.8 kit on the way i got the irs diff in my living room. all i need is that damn transmission and send it to the roller
