"An ogura racing singlr plate clutch controlled by an RE-Amemiya clutch hose allow for crisp gear engagement while an RE-Amemiya Super racing LSD doles out the torque where needed""
I think they meant clutch..

< scratches head> are they saying that there is 14.5-17psi of boost, or that the actual intake pressure is 14.5-17psi (aka, hardly any boost)

had they just wanted to turbo the 4 port motor they could have done it with one that has a 5speed manual which is available in Japan and other countries. Turboing an AT means that they are looking at targeting the North American Market for this product.

Makes sense, so we can eat our big macs and talk on our cell phones even more now!
but seriously,
How mucher stronger or how much more power from FI can the 4 port take over the 6 port? If it's even possible. Are we talking about a durability/ side seal issue here? Or a lack of SDAIS/better exhaust flow?

Also on page 172 it shows a close up of the engine bay and you can see the
dipstick for the trany fluid.
Either way I'm just glad there moding the RENESIS and not just cheating by stuffing in a 20b or an FD motor.
Good times for all

As I mentioned months ago... this car essentially is using the Trust/Greddy turbo kit. Re Amemiya is working with them on this car. Supposedly Trust/Greddy had done most of the work... I assume the piping, turbo and tuning.
The big question is... can the tranny take it?

If for forced induction we do end up needing to strengthen our transmissions, how much would that cost? Would we need to replace them altogether? Or are there certain parts we can switch in made of stronger and more durable materials? Thanks

Usually the part that goes first in the miatas is the differential, so replacing that might be first on the list, as far as the transmission goes, if that is breaking as well you would probably just have to replace the whole thing. I am swapping the transmission and differential in my Miata to a 93 RX-7 transmission and differential and probably do a 5 lug conversion as well with fender flairs, and I am only targetting above 300whp.
