I didn't have the car in FWD for long with that power. But I removed the box and still have it in perfect condition.
BJ has made over 300kw and has had over 200kw on the street for almost 15 years through a CE FWD box.
Trust me without traction you don't break things.
Unfortunately the big mivec cams are better suited to a big exhaust housing and therefore some lag. (They do however make the turbos spool a little better then non mivec)
I feel the GT28 is not suited to the cam combo however if 200kw is all you are after then it would be a good choice if you get the big mivec cams ground down from the 300/285 deg to something around the 264 deg and leave the small profile as is.
In theory the above is a good choice however no one stops at 200kw. You will want more I can garentee it. (I remember when I only wanted 200kw)
I've ran a GT3076r (with a 4G93 mivec) with both the 0.82 and 0.63 exhaust housing. The 0.63 made 28psi by about 4100rpm and I think topped out at around 280kw. The 0.82 made 28psi at about 4600rpm and topped out a little over 300kw. Although the boost came on a little later there wasn't any difference below 4600rpm in torque due to the increased VE due to the bigger A/R being better suited to the cams.
So sometimes looking at dynos and boost logs doesn't tell the whole story. And a bigger exhaust housing doesn't always mean less power low down.
So in short sub 220kw GT28 and regrind cams to 264. 220 to 300kw GT3076r and still probably better to grind cams to a 272. Over 300kw GT35 and leave cams.
Baz check your logs of the Dyno the other day. If you battery is sucking volts from the alternator it might be why you had a miss and had to gap the plugs down.
I have a mirage.
I cut about 10mm of the pump outlet to reduce the overall height.
I also shaved down the bottom bracket slightly and elongated the mounting hole to also allow for the extra height. Sits exactly the same depth as the stock pump.
First run was 12.5 @ 122mph, 2.3 60ft Second run was 12.4 @ 95mph with 1.8 60ft (missed third) Third run 12.0 @ 121 mph 1.9 60ft (slow shifting to make sure i got a complete pass)
Car was in full weight, full tank of fuel, 17's, Brembo's, spare tyre, subs / amps, tools for the night etc Not sure on the power as I have only street tunned it, but based on weight and online hp calculators its makeing between 454hp, 478 or 487hp (Engine power), but who knows..
Below is a Video, thanks to Fullboost (although my car doesnt look very interesting.)
It's a 1.8 lt mivec mirage. (1300kg plus driver)
12.8@119 mph 19psi 2.2 60ft
Pretty happy with the mph for the issues I had.
Also ran 103mph on 5psi which is pretty good.
It also ran 128mph. But I checked the logs and it was incorrect, according to motec it was only 116mph.
