There was a B210 GX hatch down at canby this last year with an SR20 installed. KA or SR, that thing is going to FLY.

Also that trans is worth a few bucks. Message me if you wanna sell it. I have some contact info with the MG guys and they are looking for one. They will pay some $$$$

Any plans for the rear axle for the hp? Those axles are only rated to handle 112ftlbs of torque.

the b210 with the sr20 in it has the stock gx rear end and has handled a 4000rpm clutch dump more than once
so for now i am not going to worry about it

It's not the weakest axle they came with at least. This one has the h150... my 74 b210 has the h145 which is only rated to 100ftlbs. Awesome project tho, keep it up!

My A15 even killed a couple H145s. Never had any problems with the H150.
