Sucks about throwing a rod! What are you going to do about gearbox and diff with that kind of power? Just see what else breaks or upgrade before?ha
6 speed and matchhing diff out of rs/s-vt/vs is supposed to take about 350bhp

Ah I had it coming in fairness. No way would stock internals last at well over 300hp haha
Im using an MS2 with an aem wideband, IAT and rx8 injectors, peter.

Dave, I have a 6 speed in it already and plan to get that diff as well haha with a nice 3.9 ratio. I've heard they can take nuclear bombs. I have yellow stuff pads in there and they are pretty good with Michelin pilot sport 3s, these are savage . I'll move up to carbon Pads or probably 4 pot willwoods. It's only early days!
You know yourself, the parts list just gets longer and longer.
Tom fix your shit skyline
Heres some pics Tom took.

Yeah thy are! This car was originally auto so I had to get the box then get it swapped. Cost a fortune. Worth it though. Diffs have gone up too. I had one in my first mx5 but that was stolen and burned out and crushed. It's a 1.8l.
Yeah the diff and box will hold 240 all day. Your clutch won't though.
What engine do you have? What size turbo? I recommend a gt2560r from an s15.
shit you haven't had much luck with cars!ha As far as I know I have a stage 1 clutch in mine so previous owner said when I bought it. He was planning on turboing it before he sold it. So might last a while! What's the best clutch out there for these?
Mine is a 1.6, I got it with a td04 off an Impreza. It's in perfect condition so gonna go with that. Some guy called sturovo on one of the mx5 forums makes manifolds and downpipes to suit your needs, so gonna go with that.
What ecu do you have?
I just sold my turbo kit today for my mx5
