SPEC makes really good stuff...they also have FANTASTIC customer support!!! I'm running their 9lb Alum. flywheel...used to run ther stage 3 clutch disc with a ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate. It held up to its power rating (around 485lb/ft torque for that setup). I had to upgrade and went with a clutc...

The OEM valvetrain is quite strong. If you up your oil pressure like I did you can spin it to 8000rpm no problem. I've got 15,000+ miles on my B6T head with insane abuse to it...last Friday night I twisted a chromemoly drive shaft in half at Natural Bridge Drag Strip....would have be a 6 second pass...

The VRIS is bad! We had problems with it on Timmys car back when we slapped a Mitsu16G turbo on it with left over parts. When the VRIS changes you'll actually see the engine lean out for a second as it can't compensate for the quick change (the position your map sensor is reading from makes a differ...

Which B6T rods are you running? The GTX rods (which have a larger base at the bottom of the beam and a little larger rib up and over the wrist pin area...they may even be a stronger matterial, but that I don't know) I'd estimate they'll hold up to around 400WHP for a good while as they were used in ...

Yes I have, I've also seen dyno comparrisons of straight, tappered, and w/ velocity stacks. The highest flowing is to use a tappered runner tappering no more than 3 Degrees per inch down to just a hair under the stock port size the utilize a velocity stack on the top. There are a LOT of different wa...

400+WHP for way over 10,000miles on a open diff 5-spd Pro LX tanny. I use Lucas 80w-90 Gear Oil with one bottle of Lucas Transfix...thats what has held it together. The trans in the car now has a Mazdaspeed LSD with the same Lucas lubes. And yes I've pounded the CRAP out the gears...current setup it...

400HP is possible on the stock head but it is going to take a LOT of pressure to get it there. My B6T head has the Corksport 323 turbo cams, ARP studs, smoothed ports, 3-angle valve job. The key here is pressure and port velocity. I've ran 30+psi on pump gas on my setup. Its all in the tuning. You h...

I started my build with a 1.6L B6T engine (DOHC). Then bought 2 more. You can find them in the 88-89 323 turbo's and the early 90's Mercury Capri XR-2. I chose to build the piss out a 1.6L for the challenge of making BIG HP on a small displacement engine. My recommendations for your build: To swap f...

Try http://www.clutchnet.com or http://www.specclutch.com For around $800US you can get a 12lb aluminum flywheel, 3-puck sprung hub metallic disc, and a 2300lb pressure plate from Clutchnet. This setup is rated at 600lb/ft. torque capacity. My first setup was a ACT simi-metallic street disc, ACT hea...

I believe it is you that lacks a little knowledge about rotaries....The only time apex seals go are if you detinate. If you upgrade to 3mm apex seals then it is like a piston engine and you'll have enough time to back off before it is to late. I've seen stock 13B's put down 700+HP on the stock 2mm a...
