I figured you knew all that stuff about the trannies, but figured I should through it out there just in case. If you think the G-series tranny is not very strong, you should see what the festiva guys are doing to the E-series tranny (which came stock in the festiva, and is alot weaker).

The stock G-series tranny is not that bad. I know guys putting 250-300 hp through that tranny and not having a problem. Wheel hop is what will kill you. If your are concerned about the tranny, get the G-series out of the Kia, it has bigger axles and the tranny is beefier.

You would get alot more laughs at your car if you were putting that motor in a festiva. It would be fairly fast as the BP is double the horsepower of the stock motor.

thanks for the info. but i already know this lol. well yes there are guys that dont have problems and there are guys that do. actually the kia axles are smaller they just have a bigger spline count, and the only thing stronger about the tranny is the case. witch is one of the biggest problems with ruined gearboxes. but up here it isnt very easy to find the intermediate shaft for the kia gearbox. and yes im going full poly everything to help with wheel hop. but sweet to know someone else knows about this. and im gettin me an helical lsd from mfactory. like you said the tranny isnt that bad, but at the same time isnt that great. oh ic you have an mx-3, whats it got in it.

see i was hoping you knew what you were doing, and would acually give me some feedback to the question i posed on getting the manifold set up to work well.

if you didn't know i make manifolds for a living, so this stuff interests me.

oh really? well i might have to talk to you when the time comes for an actual manifold. you dont even want to know how ghetto rigged this manifold is going to be. you will probably laugh. its actually probably the wost set up i could have on my car being the gtx manifold is crap. definatly not efficent at all lol. just cheap

being fine, and working effeiciently are two totally different things.

it should be fine, and your right there is a guy that is using a 20 year old cast manifold and running 12's weekly during racing season. so im not really worried.
